Maker's accuracy claims
Ernest Sports says ball speed is typically within about 1% in its own testing. It publishes no other accuracy numbers. These are the maker's numbers, not our tests.

What it measures

According to reviewers

  • Ball speed
  • Club speed

What it works out

According to reviewers

  • Smash factor
  • Carry distance
  • Total distance
  • Launch angle
  • Spin
NOTE

Ernest Sports' ESB1 page says it measures ball speed and club speed. It works out the rest from those speeds and the club you pick.

Questions people ask

Sheet F-1 · Questions
Does the ESB1 need a subscription?

No. The ESB1 shows your numbers on its own screen, and the ES Range app is free. An AI swing-analysis add-on costs $8.99 a month, but you do not need it.

Sources: ernestsports.com, apps.apple.com

How much room do I need for the ESB1?

Put the ESB1 4 to 6 ft behind the ball. The ball should sit about 5 ft in front of the unit. Ernest Sports gives no clear net distance or ceiling height.

Sources: ernestsports.com, ernestsports.com

How accurate is the ESB1?

Ernest Sports says ball speed is typically within about 1%. It measures only ball speed and club speed and works out the rest. Plugged In Golf found spin and launch angle hit-and-miss.

Sources: ernestsports.com, pluggedingolf.com

Does the ESB1 work with Android?

Ernest Sports' manual points to the Apple App Store only. The App Store lists the ES Range app for iPhone and iPad. A 2022 review said Android also worked, but we could not confirm that.

Sources: ernestsports.com, apps.apple.com

What is in the box?

The box has the ESB1 launch monitor, a charger and a travel bag. Ernest Sports gives a 1-year warranty and a 30-day return with a return number.

Sources: ernestsports.com, ernestsports.com

What testers found

  • Plugged In Golf, ESB1 review, October 5, 2022

    Tested against a Foresight GCQuad. Ball speed was often right on but sometimes high, and club speed read a little low with long clubs. Spin and launch angle were hit-and-miss. The tester liked the battery life and the app.
