    I haven't found that it does, which is one thing I will say that Arccos did I liked. I haven't gotten a round in in over a month due to weather, so I'm still in the early stages of it learning my distances.

    Can you tell me, does the Shotscope app start to learn your distances and provide any caddie like club recommendations or "plays like" features? I am wondering how the app compares to other competitors like Golfpad, GolfShot, The Grint, etc.

    I searched and didn't see any reviews on the GAPR. I have been playing it over the last year and decided I would add some input.
    Specs: GAPR Mid 3, HZRDUS 85g (Blue I think? It doesn't say on it) Golf Pride MCC Plus 4 Standard Grip
    Like I said above, I put this in the bag last Winter and have been playing it since. I replaced a Nike Covert 2.0 Hybrid. I chose the GAPR because I wanted a Driving Iron but was interested in something that had a little more forgiveness.  I bought it used from Global Golf, but it had the "Mint" condition rating. It had the oversized grip, so I did have to make a customization to it.

    I don't know what it is, but something about Taylormade products have always caught my eye. It could be that it is what my dad used to play when I was little - and me when I would borrow his clubs instead of using my cheap Goodwill sticks or, it could be the swag DJ shows with every shot that I would dearly like to emulate - but, I have always held closely an intrinsic loyalty to Taylormade and anything they make. The GAPR is no exception. I love the black base and the teal highlights with the modern, millennial name - "GAPR". Standing over the ball at address, the dark club is quiet to the eye and allows the ball to pop, which for me, helps to focus on my connection point.
    Playability:
    The GAPR is a club I will use when I have a shot anywhere from 210 to 230 depending on conditions. For me, it is a nice fit between my 4i and 3wood. Its long and quite forgiving, which is ideal for a Tee shot when you have a narrow fairway or on a second shot of your Par 5. I haven't found a condition where I would be hesitant to take pull the GAPR. (Other than the FW Bunker which I have not tried and probably won't.) I live/ play in the PNW and for most months of the year, the conditions can be quite soft and many times, wet. The larger club head - resembling a hybrid - is very helpful in this situation. It allows you to dig in on a ball low in the rough with the same feel and forgiveness as if you were lying mid-fairway. The size helps to alleviate any chunk shot an iron may have since a miss-hit will still travel further than a duffed iron.
    With my old Hybrid, I struggled with the ability to be able to work the ball in any direction. It was usually a unwanted slice. Since the GAPR is more like an Iron, I find it much easier to swing like an iron. Maybe that is part mental, but I do find the shot to be more consistent and resembling my long iron shot-shape. It is easy to go from a 5/4i to the GAPR or a GAPR from the tee to a 7i on the second shot. It allows me to work the ball more and provides that extra few yards over my 4i where a 3wood would put me out of play or the 4i would come up short.
    If you are struggling with confidence with your long irons off the fairway, this club will do well to remove your anxiety. I love this club and would recommend it to anyone at any level. I, myself, have the mid, but they do have 3 versions for all playing levels. If you struggle with a long iron chunk or perhaps want something to work off the Tee for a safe Fairway shot, this is certainly the club for you.

    Hey all, new member here just introducing myself. I’m from south of Seattle about 45 minutes. Currently a 14.6 Handicap, although just started my first lessons and hoping do get that down to single digits by end of next year.

    I have a friend who has worked at Washington National GC and have probably played that more than any others in the last few years, so I’d consider that my home course.

    I enjoy reading through many golf forums, especially when I am looking for reviews or input but I have never been active in any. I figured if I’m going to use them as a resource, I should help others and provide my own input.

    Thanks!
