Hi Scott; I have both the Bengston and the GOlf Acheiver. As compared to the Acheiver there is no comparison. Data from the Bengston is suspect at best. The system uses an array of photo cells to generate data from captured events triggered by the photo cells. Among the many issues with this system is the fact the shadows are dependent on the heigth of the light source. Changes in height drastically changes the repeatability. Also I have found that the golfer must take a sometimes unusual back swing in order to satisfy the requirements of the system to generate data (i.e. photo cells in parallel rows have to "tripped" in sequence. The ball flight is rudimentary at best. 2-Cents worth.
