CT1 or CT10 sensors

Hi all,

I have an S70 approach and was about to buy the CT10 sensors for game tracking.

ive just seen the CT1 sensors have been released today and are listed as compatible with S70. 

what is the difference between the two sets of sensors. CT1s are half the price of the CT10s, but otherwise I can’t see what the benefit of buying the CT10s over the CT1s would be at double the price 

thanks

    From what I can tell, they're very similar to the Shot Scope club sensors, but Garmin's CT1 require you to tap them to the watch in order to register the club before you hit.  They're probably using an RF tag in the sensors, while the CT10 use bluetooth to connect with the watch, and don't require you to make physical contact with the watch before hitting.

    While I have the CT10 sensors and haven't had any issues with missed shots, considering the low cost of the CT1 sensors, I might get them for a test run for s**ts and giggles.

    The website isn't clear on it. It says tap the the CT1 before you shot to see how far you hit it and get stats. I'm not sure if you also need to tap it if you are just hitting a shot. Time may tell.

    Following this post as i am also interested in the difference.

    I may be completely wrong but CT1 is using NFC connection. I was hoping once the sensor was connected it would be recognised for the entire round, as it detects that swing / connection. to the ball movement.

    Why haven’t garmin realised a video showing us how to use them ??

    Following as I would also like to know the different using them.

    Why haven’t they realised a video showing us how to use them??

    I’m quietly hoping you connect the sensors once before the start of a round. Then the NFC detects when the swing motion has been completed to register the shot.

    I'm hoping for a video comparison, but I'm assuming they are simply RFID tags to identify the clubs and don't have any of the built in sensors like the CT10 to actually help with shot detection. If that's true, they'll likely struggle to capture puts and short chips just like the watches struggle without the CT10.

    IFrom Gramin's explanation, the reading is associated with a shot to be taken from that reading location.
    If so, it will solve the short chip/put not being detected issue.

    GET STATS ON YOUR WRIST:

    Simply tap the Approach CT1 tag to your compatible Garmin golf smartwatch to track every stroke, including locations, distances and club type.

    Since it requires the watch, I'm assuming the location info comes from the watch, not the tag. Same thing goes for distance. It will just be reading when you shoot and where from the watch, then what you hit from the tag rather than picking clubs manually after the shot. Any sort of sensor in the actual tag would likely require a battery, which they state they don't have.

    If love to be wrong and have the CT1 work just as well as the CT10 to track shots since the price is so much nicer, but we'll need to see once they get into people's hands and they can do some testing

    I'm willing to bet anything that they're using an RF radio tag in those sensors, hence the need to tap them to the watch.  RF Radio tags don't require an external power source, hence no battery needed.  This is exactly the same technology that is employed in the Shot Scope tags, and also the same tagging procedure.

    Here's a video from Garmin explaining how to setup and use: youtu.be/PQ1lvGlVFzs

    do you know if CT1 sensors can be mixed with CT10 as I have 3 CT10 already
