  1. O have been using the Golfpad app for years. I downloaded it one year after my brother-in-law purchased his arccos. It provides all the same metrics as arccos. I was going to purchase the tags to put on my clubs, but the phone has to be NCF (National Communications Frequency) compliant. My phone isn't, although all I-phones are. I decided that I was fine not having the tags since I pull my phone out to get my yardage and club selection anyway (I do not have a smart watch). But I do love the app. Collecting and evaluating the data over the years has helped me improve my game. Dennis Sent from my moto g stylus 5G using Tapatalk
  2. Golfpad. They have tans that go on the club at a fraction of the price of Arrcos. You can also just use the app and enter the club manually, which is what I do, for $21 per year. Sent from my moto g stylus 5G using Tapatalk
  3. I finally received the new Optishot "Orbit" this past Friday and spent some time on the simulator yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon. For those of you who are not familiar with the Optishot "Orbit", it was originally going to be an upgrade of the Optishot 2 technology with a lot of new bells and whistles. However, due to some difficulties, they opted to team with VoiceCaddie and are using their Orion Software with the VoiceCaddie SC4 and calling the combination the "Orbit". I received the unit this past Friday and finally had time to test out the driving range and played 9 holes on the Austrian Course yesterday afternoon. I wanted to provide my initial thoughts on my experience. First, a little background. Another user in a Reddit post indicated the Orion Software was reporting a difference of 20 yards on a 150 yard shot from the SC4 (SC4 = 150 vs 130 on Orion). I am seeing differences between the SC4 and the Orion Software, but not to the extent he is. The Orion Software is reporting consistently shorter distances, but only by a few yards. On one occasion, it actually calculated the distance farther than the SC4 (with my 3 Wood), by about 15 yards. That is the only one I caught. Roughly 50% of the time, the distances were off only a few yards - but not enough for concern. The Optishot 2 would calculate spin and would simulate my shot shape. Sometimes it was severe (i.e. I rarely draw and never hook the ball in real life but the Optishot 2 would calculate about 20% of my swings as severe hooks), but the majority of the time it looked fairly close to my normal shot. Every shot on the Orion, however, is dead straight. The MEVO+ simulator at my club shows my shot shape fairly accurately, both fades and draws. I cannot get the Orion software to pick up a fade or a draw. It does pick up the original ball direction, but treats it as either a straight pull or block. I think I was expecting to get a higher level of accuracy from the "Orbit". In all of my swings on both the practice range and the 9 holes I played, it only missed one swing. I was impressed with that, since the Optishot 2 would miss three or four swings every 9 holes. As far as distances between the MEVO+ and the SC4/Orion (Orbit), the distances seem to track fairly close, so I can't complain there. Finally, before I played the 9 holes on the first course, I thought I would try out the putting practice module. To my consternation, I could not get the SC4/Orbit to pick up my putts. Which begs the question, why offer a putting module if it does not work? I am hoping that both VoiceCaddie and Optishot are committed to improving the Orbit experience. It should not take much of an effort to improve the accuracy of the SC4 and Orion software to the point that it provides the user with a more realistic experience. Both the SC4 and the Orion Software have the capability of offering software upgrades. I will keep everyone here up-to-date. DAB
  4. Thanks Grit Golf. I would like more distance but want to hit straight also. Sent from my moto g(7) supra using Tapatalk
  5. Thanks, that's the kind of information I was looking for. Sent from my moto g(7) supra using Tapatalk
  6. Has anyone tested or owned any of these clubs? They seem too good to be true. Sent from my moto g(7) supra using Tapatalk

  8. I have a shotscope and my home course has gps rangefinders on the carts. This past weekend I played at another course and decided to forgo technology, just use the markings on the course and estimate it - relying more on intuition. I hit 14 out of 18 greens in regulation for the first time in my life. I played 9 holes several times this week with similar results. I think I will lay the Shot scope to the side for a while.

  9. Like cnosil, I don't take practice swings on full shots, bit do on chips and putts. I have tried it both ways and can get two, three, four or five perfect practice swimgs in and then duff the shot. I do better without practice. For some reason chip shots and putts are different. I need the practice swings. Sent from my moto g(7) supra using Tapatalk
  10. Coppertone and other major brands sell spf products higher than 50 that is a transparent spray. I use a sport spf 100. Sent from my moto g(7) supra using Tapatalk
  11. This is a piece of suede material put into a plastic holder. just go to Walmart, look in the bath mat section and you can buy something almost identical without the plastic holder. That's what I use for my divot and path control. Less tha $10. Sent from my moto g(7) supra using Tapatalk
