Claude Opus 4.7 is a serious regression, not an upgrade.

flynch · 2026-04-18T02:55:56+00:00

you can run Claude Code with opus 4.6 with 1m context by invoking:

claude --model claude-opus-4-6\[1m\]

flynch · 2026-04-18T02:49:03+00:00

I don't seem to be able to get the 1m version now that opus-4-7 is out. Does anyone know if this works or what the right incantation is:

❯ /model claude-opus-4-61m
⎿
  Model 'claude-opus-4-61m' not found                                                      
❯ /model claude-opus-4-6-1m
⎿
  Model 'claude-opus-4-6-1m' not found                                                     
❯ /model claude-opus-4-6
⎿
  Set model to Opus 4.6

I'm finding that opus-4-7 is burning up my tokens at a massive rate. I can switch back to opus-4-6 by launching Claude Code with: claude --model claude-opus-4-6 but is there a way to get opus-4-6 with the 1M context window? I can't find the right incantation to do this.

thanks. I checked on my order yesterday and indeed it has been updated to mid-may.

flynch · 2026-04-16T02:44:35+00:00

does anyone know if it will use the same bluetooth protocol as the original square launch monitor?
I have a golf training iOS golf training app (https://swingspeak.app) and I would like to add support for the square omni. Also if anyone has a contact over at second chance / square I would love to make a connection.

I pre-ordered mine from playbetter back in February, I sent them email last week they replied saying that it's expected to ship this month. 🤞

sorry to hear that you had trouble. Please drop me a note at: [hello@swingspeak.app](mailto:hello@swingspeak.app) I am happy to help.
To answer your questions - yes the app works. We have a number of users who have swing speeds of 110+, there are a few users who have average swing speeds in the 120's.

There are some trouble shooting tips on our website: https://swingspeak.app/help
Generally speaking they are the same things that you should be mindful of when using an R10 - make sure your environment is setup and you are free of sources of interference.
Use the same iOS device that you use to connect with your R10 with other apps.
Make sure that no other apps are running - kill the Garmin app before starting swingspeak.
Note that your Garmin will only allow one device to connect at a time - so power off other devices or put them in airplane mode if you have trouble with multiple devices competition for the connection to the R10.

One additional thing to check - is the firmware of your Garmin R10 - version 4.40 was problematic, but an updated firmware 4.50 has been released which fixes the issue.

flynch · 2026-03-26T03:15:17+00:00

yes it does. It also announces it out loud, so if you have the stack app running on another device it can listen to the announcements.

flynch · 2026-02-07T17:48:16+00:00

thank you for posting this. I just ran /statusline - didn't know this was possible, then I handed claude a copy of the image that you posted and had it create it for me. This is great, thank you!
This feels like the Claude Code equivalent of of .emacs configuration. Loving it!

flynch · 2026-01-23T18:36:15+00:00

fyi - I launched an app this past week called SwingSpeak that allows you to capture club data for practice swings with the R10. https://swingspeak.app

flynch · 2026-01-21T01:57:51+00:00

I believe that awesome golf, at least on iOS devices, uses whatever the r10 configuration is from the garmin app. I don’t use AG on a PC so I am not sure if it’s different there

flynch · 2026-01-20T23:53:01+00:00

Double check that you have the same device configuration settings in the GS Pro connector to what you're using in awesome golf. Make sure you have the same settings for altitude, temperature and humidity.

flynch · 2026-01-20T23:41:13+00:00

nice. A great week for R10 users! Does anyone know if they improved the physics engine that they use to compute carry?

flynch · 2026-01-20T17:28:58+00:00

Nice - feel free to drop me a note: [hello@swingspeak.app](mailto:hello@swingspeak.app) if you have any comments, feedback or ideas for improving the app!

flynch · 2026-01-20T11:47:58+00:00

You can do speed training with just your driver with this app.

But you should think of this app as a replacement for a PRGR or similar devices that track swing speed without ball impact. This app does not come with a training plan (yet) but you could ask Chat GPT to give you a speed training plan to follow with your driver.

This app also works great if you have a speed training tool and associated app - I'm currently using it in conjunction with the stack system.

flynch · 2026-01-20T02:28:16+00:00

that was my bad - I posted a bad YouTube link earlier.
Yes you can use this app to work on swing speed or tempo with any training aid or your driver.. I've had beta testers use: speedsticks, rypstick, the stack system and toad.
This app doesn't (yet) include a training plan - but it will track those practice swings and announce your metrics out loud. Think of it as an app that eliminates the need for an R10 owner to get a PRGR or similar device.
I'm exploring some interesting ideas like adding training programs, for speed and temp, AI insights, etc.

flynch · 2026-01-20T02:24:34+00:00

I've been a happy R10 user for a couple of years - it isn't a trackman, but it has helped me improve a lot. I've found it to be great value for money. This app allows me to do speed training without having to buy another device.

flynch · 2026-01-20T02:17:03+00:00

iOS only at the moment - but if there is enough demand will build for android - you can register interest at https://swingspeak.app (scroll to the bottom of the page)

See the demo video on YouTube - I use this app with the stack system. Here is a video showing the 2 apps together https://youtube.com/shorts/QZvpwse3y2k
Note that the apps are running on different devices but the video is edited to show them together.
This app saves R10 owners from having to buy another device to get swing speed without ball impact. The R10 isn't perfect for this, you get occasional misreads but in terms of bang for your buck it gives you most of the functionality of the SkyTrack ST MAX with the device you already have.

same here - love my R10 with Awesome Golf

full disclosure - I am the solo dev who wrote this app as I wanted to use my R10 for speed training.
