I received my V5 the other day. So far I charged it, updated the firmware and connected it to the app. As I had (and still have) the H4, and someone mentioned the "old" tags still work with the V5: Can I just take the V5 with me to the course and it should all be fine? There's no need to explicitly register the old tags with the V5, correct? I plan to change the tags later anyway, but I have a practice round planned tomorrow and it would be nice to test the V5 there already.

The hat feels nice and very light. I only had it on my head for a minute so far. I can see that it will work nicely whenever the sun decides to come back here soon. I hope I can properly test the whole ghost equipment soon!

My Oreo Bag finally arrived! I only got around to unpack it and snap some pictures of it, but it feels and looks so so good . Let's see when I transfer all the clubs to it, the weather here is still very crappy at the moment, so I don't want to take this one into use right now... Thanks again @GolfSpy_APH for the deal!

Shot Scope V5 Deals: https://www.golfonline.co.uk/shot-scope-v5-gps-performance-tracking-watch http://r.mail-shotscope.com/mk/cl/f/sh/7nVU1aA2nfuMScfD1zB9JNxZDXmN118/1YsOH6VuKPIW https://shotscope.com/row/exclusive-user-offer/ I ordered mine at golfonline for around 205€ including shipping to Switzerland, but excluding customs/tax (which will be max 40€). The other links are from ShotScope. I got them in my mail. The first one reduced the price to 240€, but at checkout the final price was then shown as 270$ (with no option to change back to euros). The second shot scope link asked me for my shot scope account email, but resulted in an error message although my address was correct. Maybe someone has more luck and gets a better offer through the shot scope links, but in my case I went with golfonline.co.uk.

Ok, you guys got me convinced. I ordered the V5. Shot scope sent me a discount link a few days ago, but I still found it cheaper here: https://www.golfonline.co.uk/shot-scope-v5-gps-performance-tracking-watch (but I guess it depends where you live etc).

https://shotscope.com/userguide/english/Shot_Scope_V5_en_user_guide.pdf I've quickly browsed through the V5 user manual. It seems you get a set of "version 2"-tags that you have to install into your clubs and those enable automatic tracking as long as the tag is within 10cm range of the wrist band of the V5 when you take the shot. Seems easy enough. I'm wondering what happens if you grip the club lower (chip shots). Does the watch have sensor that still record a shot in that case? And what about practice swings? I guess as long as you don't move away (gps-wise), only the last swing should get recorded. Maybe @William P can explain this a bit more?

I joined for the reviews and to maybe eventually ask some question and get inputs/opinions from other golfers. And for a tiny slight chance to eventually get picked as a tester .

Comparing the V5 to the H4, do you still have to tap the tag to the watch, or does it pick it up automatically during the swing? I have the H4 and still have to remember to tap before I make my shot (or right after...). As I am not usually wearing a watch, I am not sure if moving to the V5 will work for me or if that will not be a big change. I can see that maybe it's worth it if the whole "tap to register club" gets easier or is not required at all...

I see a putter purchase on the far horizon. Those Runner and LAB putters look appealing... Also maybe a decent hybrid.

I received the Cobra King F9-S driver yesterday. Took it for a spin with @GolfSpy_APH and I like it so far. At least it looks good in my bag along the Cobra woods .

I agree, the first platform should be so that you could stand on it (unless you make that one tilted already).

They should have bundled my bag with your pocket

Maybe they can make a "connector" product, so you can connect 3 AirBreaks with 2 connectors. Or more. No limits basically, I'm a genius

Cool concept. And I see they have added a ball barrier at the end of the mat. But what I feel is missing is some side barriers starting about from the middle of the mat on both sides. I currently have a 4m WellPutt mat at home and if the occasional ball leaves that carpet and rolls on the wooden floor, that will wake up everyone in the house. With the added break and the height of this thing, I can already hear the bouncing balls making a lot more noise . Of course you could call it a feature, since it forces me to never mishit a putt very badly!

I can't wait for mine to arrive after looking at all those nice pics above! It's shipped out, but no delivery estimate available yet. I hope it arrives next week!
