  1. I asked this question of Shot Scope. They are very concerned about the accuracy of the information provided. There is not much they can do about horizontal GPS inaccuracy of 3–5 meters, 95% of the time, keeping the size small and pricing reasonable. Vertical GPS accuracy is even worse and would just compound the inaccuracy. Thus, at this point in time, not in the cards. You can say that others provide it, but that is just the way it is for now. You can always use MyStrategy on the Dashboard to preplan a round and see the effect of slope as elevation is an option. Or, there are many, many inexpensive rangefinders, well under $100, that have a slope function. As far as elevation affecting club distance data, these things tend to even out over time, like playing down wind or into the wind. If the shot is anything but a tee shot or a putt from on the green, you can always mark it as "Provisional" so that it is not included in club distances. AVG shows the average of all shots taken with a club; P-AVG eliminates outliers, both long and short.
  2. Tap the "+" sign on the bottom right in the app. You then are offered three options, to use the app as a GPS like other golf apps, to "preview" a course or to access MyStrategy that you have created on the Dashboard. Deleting shots during editing is really easy.
  3. The nice thing about one of the watches, V3 or X5, is that other than marking the location of each putt if you use Manual putting mode, and marking the hole location in both Manual and Auto mode, you don't have to interact with it at all if you don't; want to. I don't use scoring, and I am familiar enough with the course I belong to that I don't need yardages to hazards, so I barely look at it during a round. I then spend a few minutes after the round editing to correct any wrong information, such as the type of lie. It rarely misses a shot, and the data I have accumulated is revealing.
  4. PXG Gen 6 with Motore X shaft I was fit for last June.
  5. Did you email Shot Scope detailing your issue? I had an issue with the Dashboard not saving my edits after signing off on one of my recent rounds. They got back to me within 24 hours and the issue was resolved.
  6. Which model of Vice balls are you referring to? The MGS ball test and my own experience being a "slow" swing speed player is that the Vice Pro and Pro Plus are tow of the longest balls for me. I'm no ball expert, but I thought the purpose of multi-layer balls is to provide the best of both worlds. The "core" is what drives the distance for drivers and longer clubs, and the cover dictates spin on those short shots around the green. Am I wrong in that understanding? Finding and using a ball that best suits one's game usually tends to be somewhat of a compromise that depends ultimately on one's performance preference.
  7. That will work as long as where you take the shot from isn't too far from where your bag is. However, as I understand it (I don't have an H4 but have used the watches), you will have to take it with you onto the green to record your putts and the hole location.
  8. I had not thought about that! Shouldn't be an issue for me and my 2/12 hour rounds as I usually have over 60% battery life left.
  9. Whole hole view is being added to the X5, as promised! It requires a firmware update. That firmware is scheduledfor release on Monday. Some really neat features in this latest update!
  10. I play a lot of golf since getting my X5, every weekday, weather permitting. In all that time, the "Last Shot" screen may have appeared once or twice. I don't recall if that occurred when I played with the watch unlocked (which I do in warmer weather while in short sleeves) or locked. I have no idea why and other than that the watch continues to perform flawlessly.
  11. Despite my "old man", slow swing speed, the Vice Pro and Pro Plus work very well for me. I think I'll stick with the Vice Pro in the colder temperatures, and switch over to the Vice Pro Plus once it warms up.
  12. If using the Auto mode, remember to choose the number of times you USED the putter, not just the number of putts taken from on the green. Even if used from off the green, the system will sort out "putts" from "chips" when the putter was used.
  13. Shot Scope has been planning to add a "whole hole view" to the watch. Last estimate I heard was "before the golf season", whatever that means. However, I don't know if you will be able to tap on it for distances. You can already get distances to and over hazards and distances to a dogleg, if any, through the menu.
  14. You can see tee shots plotted on the App, but not approaches. "Approaches" can only be seen on the Dashboard. On the App, select a round and tap on "My Course Statistics". Again, then select a hole and scroll down to "Tee Shits Plotted" and tap on that.
  15. When you first open the online Dashboard and your latest round is displayed, scroll down and on the bottom right and click on Course Analysis. Then select a hole to the right of the overhead view and scroll down to the bottom right and click on Shots Plotted. It will default to showing tee shots for that hole, At the top, you can select the variables such as time frame, different tees, specific clubs, etc. You can then switch to Approach Shots if you want to see those for that hole.
