    Lefty Thread

    in The 19th Hole

    Posted

    Does any lefty on his forum have an envroll and if so where did you test one?
    We have two stores locally that carry evnroll putters and both have a few lefty in stock. They are truly a thing of beauty, however my Ping still holes a lot of putts.

    2018 Official Forum Member Review - Arccos 360 w/ Caddie 2.0

    in Forum Testing Reviews

    Posted

    Still in the middle of gathering data for my Stage 2 and thought I would add my thoughts on lost shots and false shots, The quick start guide gives a few tips to avoid the false shots being triggered, if you drop the club or bump two clubs together can trigger false shots. It looks like also if the green and next tee in close vicinity to each other (as Danbrook posted) it can miss your drive. This is no different from Shot Scope in this respect which for different reason is not 100% accurate and gives false positive and negatives. I found in the first couple of rounds trying to confirm and correct hole scores was a distraction from my golf and decided not to rely on accuracy of the stroke recording and now spend 5 minutes at the end of the round double checking the data and correcting it while the round is still fresh in your head.

     

    On Tournament mode I've used it a couple of times, it says it conforms to USGA tournament rules but to feel comfortable using it I'm going to check the R&A site. You still get the Caddie view at the tee and the GPS satellite view of the hole gives you wind speed but not elevation. Also the Front Centre Back view no longer gives you the second set of numbers i.e. Plays like yardages.

     

    After 12 rounds I've found the Data Analytics and Dashboard the most useful features and I'm using this to focus my practising. Personally the Caddie feature so far I'm not sold on, the main reason is that I won't rely on it 100% and because of this using it adds doubt on club selection into my head. For example playing a hole that has a 30 feet elevated green I usually take yardage to the back of the green and club to this, so it plays 10 to 15 yds longer and you are always better long than short. My head says PW, I pick out Arccos and it says AW. AW will get me there but if I hit it heavy it will be short and roll back down the hill 50yds. Doubt is a terrible thing. Also if you start to rely on it and then go into a tournament the Plays like feature is disabled so you have to work it out yourself from F-C-B data.

     

     

    Here is a question, what happens if you don't have a phone signal does the phone still gather data? I'm going to put my iPhone into Airplane mode the next time I'm out and check.

    I use a older iPhone that doesn't have any service, as I found arccos misses a LOT more shots on Android. The only downside to a no service phone is no wind conditions other then that it works just as a phone with service. In regular mode the caddie still functions as normal and you still get all your F - M - B yardages along with club suggestions. At least those are the only differences I found between service and no service devices.

    Side note I've emailed arccos on a few different issues/course updates and I don't think I've ever had better customer service. Responses have almost always been same day if not hours after. That and the few courses which needed to be updated only took a few hours to do.

    I've experienced the of drop in shot as well here and there, however I found a few keys being if the green and next tee box are close then be sure to take out your next club by the tee box and not earlier. For me at my local course 13 green and 14 tee box are very close and the odd time I would take out my 4 Iron right away from walking off the green and it wouldn't end the previous hole, but continue on.

    Also usually a quick review after the round usually helps any real outliers.

    I know that caddie feature is a huge part of your review, but has anyone checked out tournament mode?

    Great bag! Only problem I see is they are all backwards..

    How do you like the Tyne putter?

    It has changed my putting forever. Won't lie when I first tried it on the course I really didn't like the sound it made, but the putts started dropping and I got use to it.

    Putting is now easily the best part of my game and I can't say enough good things about the Ping Tyne. The grip is also really nice, big but not too big.

    Previous to getting into I would say I was a average putter with 2 putting most holes and a 3 putt or more each round. Now Arcoss has my putting a +1.4 averaging 32 putts per round. Had 9 one putts yesterday and a round earlier this season with only 25.

    I was really happy to see it (although a slightly different version) do well on the most wanted this season.

    Thank you for your response. I have yet to try it as I just bought the G400 and it's working great. That being said I have read most all the thread and comments and a lot of ppl have said it got it right for them so I know and I think most of us know there is definitely something here else you would have never released it.

    I also believe some ppl may be disappointed because it may have not given them the driver they wanted?

    Anyway I can only seen positives with where this is going and appreciate you addressing all the comments as there was always bound to be doubters, but I know I will be recommending this friends and family a like as it will be a great way of narrowing the large mass of products out there down to a few gear candidates.

    What/How Did You Practice Today?

    in The Daily

    Posted

    After a few decent rounds tomorrow is range day. I've noticed a few things recently where other then a few specific tee shots I rarely use my 7,6,5 irons.

     

    Arccos has also showed me that with usage on them and its way down from most of my other clubs.

     

    One of the down sides to playing the same course over and over is those clubs get stuck in the bag. Soon should be playing a few new courses so will be nice to get a feel for them again!

     

    Last note arccos has definitely pointed out some glaring weaknesses which have been addressed and really helped narrow down practice areas.

    How'd you play?

    in The Daily

    Posted

    Played a round at Chester Golf Course Sunday and my home course Lost Creek Monday and during my warm up on Sunday something clicked and the driver swing came to life for the first time this year. Had two errant drives over the 36 holes and although a few silly shots here and there as happens with my game I was super happy for the first time this season with my long game off the tee.

     

    Ended with 76 both rounds and was a 7 over on the par 3's.

     

    Guess I know where I need to start putting some practice time in over the next little while!
