Sign up Closed: Shot Scope V5

I currently use the Garmin Approach S40 along with the Garmin CT10 sensors.  Experience a number of issues that lead to frustration on the course and looking for a new solution.  The watch often fails to recognize my course and will reset in the middle of my round and I lose all my data for the round.  In addition, I find the watch hard to navigate to get distances to bunkers, water, etc.  Also have problems with sensors that I assign to club and then when go out to play, get a message on the watch that certain sensors not assigned.  Garmin golf app also leaves a lot to be desired regarding data points and lack of enhancements by Garmin to improve.

I would love to test the Shot Scope V5 (considered Shot Scope brand when bought the Approach S40).  Read the My Golf Spy review on V5 when it was published and was considering it but have spent a lot on the Garmin products so reluctant.  This is perfect opportunity for me and my game needs it!

Would be excited to be a tester for the first time and share information with the community.

This is an opportunity for me to compare Arccos, which I use, to Shot Scope. Arccos works well, but I need my phone to check yardages and results. Would be nice to have a watch that does the job.

Interested to see where this stands against the Garmin products and the GHIN app I use, another awesome opportunity.

I currently have a Garmin 40, but it doesn't do any tracking.  Between my Garmin and a laser range finder, I think I am missing out on keeping stats that would come in handy for shot/club selection.  I'd love to give this a try!

Current satisfied Arccos user, very curious about other options. Not a fan of wearing a watch on the course but would love to compare ShotScope to Arccos. I work at a golf course and play 2-3 times per week. I am a huge fan of data and working on my game. 

Been an Arccos use for the past 3 years. Canceled this year due to the rising subscription fees and opted to getting a Bushnell V6 Slope instead. Figured swearing off Arccos for 2 years will pay for it. Anyways, I have always been intrigued by Shot Scope, but have been detracted as an Apple Watch user. I feel like their customer feedback is top notch. I feel like what I've seen from other users, their displayed analytics appear to be easier to put into practice than Arcoss. I absolutely love the My Strategy feature in the app, it's a gamechanger, and would love to be able to use it with actual dispersion plots + numbers, verses generic inputs. Good luck to all who are selected!

Right now I'm using the TaylorMade app on my watch. They've recently removed a lot of the data that was once available. I can no longer edit shots or see specific shot details. 

 

I'd love to see how this compares and what data it can provide to better my game.

Thanks for the opportunity.

As I stated in another thread this am, I had the Garmin s62 for a couple years, and used it every round.  It died, and was past the warranty.  The rep was good enough to say send it back and we'll send you a refurbished unit.  Once that arrived, it worked for 2 rounds and died....  So probably will never go back to Garmin.  A huge expense for the watch to last only 2 years.

So looking for another tracker.  Would love to test this out for you guys!

I am currently using a Garmin Vivoactive for my golf tracking device through the Garmin golf app.   I have been looking around for a better shot tracking system and have looked at the Garmin Approach CT and the Arcos system.   I am leaning towards the Garmin Approach CT as their system does not require a subscription fee.   I recently bought a set off TM P790s and PXG Gen 5 Driver and Hybrids and Gen 6 3 wood and want to dial in my distances with my new clubs.  Hope you select me to try.

I have never had a watch to track yardage before.  I use Bushnell and shot yardage. This would be a honor to try this and I would be very grateful for opportunity to use this.  I see guys all the time on couse and they seem to live them.  

Thank you for your consideration

Currently use a garmin approach S10 watch and MyonlineGolfclub to track handicap etc. Looking to upgrade soon

Have been using the X5 from Shotscope for a few years, really great product. 

I just bought one of these and will be following along with all of the testers and testing it myself. so far I have some comments but I'm going to hold off for now.

What a great test! This is already on the top of my list for a Father's Day gift. (fingers crossed)

I've been really wanting to start tracking my strokes gained, but I'm hesitant to get locked into a platform that requires a subscription to function.

Tracking my basic stats (I've been using Grint) has really fallen flat for me. I'll think I'll have an area pinned as my primary weakness then golf will go ahead and prove my ill formed hypothesis incorrect (or at least incomplete) and I'll still shoot a similar score. I'm a bit of a data nerd, but I haven't found a good, useful way to track anything on my own that wouldn't likely result in me taking an excessive amount of time on every shot. Shot Scope should solve that for me. 

Good luck to the testers

Been looking into a bunch of GPS watches lately. Currently I just use 18birdies, which does okay, but would love something more accurate.

Currently using the Golfshot app but want to delve deeper into my stats/game. Im ready to truly become a golf nerd and no one can stop me 

Currently using the Grint app on the phone to track distances and yardage on my apple watch. Although not all the features are free on the app, since they require a subscription play. This would be a game changer since I don't have to pay a monthly fee. Would love to compare the differences/similarities and share. 

Simple - I have tried every other golf app tracker on my Apple Watch and there is always lag.  Also, without the iphone nearby, those apps on the apple watch are not always accurate as it depends on cell coverage.

There has got to be something better.   Thanks

would like to try these and publish my results as to game improvement

I use arccos now, I would love to do a comparison.

I currently use the Roundabout app, which synchs with my iWatch.  It would be nice to have everything together built into the watch.

Have a Bushnell Wingman and range finder but lugging them around and leaving them stuck to cart happens too frequently. Have never tried a watch but seems like the time has come. I hear great things about accuracy and graphics, so why not. 

I'd love to give it a go. My Garmin seems to be losing the plot and starts plotting me as if I'm somewhere in-between the 1st tee and the moon

I use garmin g12

I currently use the basic Garmin Approach S10 which has been helpful for sure. But the technology on some of these newer watches in pretty remarkable. I think the ShotScopeV5 is the perfect next step as it has better tech, tracks steps, but isn't as enhanced as the Garmin S70.

I think I would be a great tester, specifically for this product, because I understand the detail that others would want to learn about before making a purchase. How does it feel on the wrist during shotes (drives, chips, approach, putts, etc.). Does it feel weird if it is hot and there is sweat, how hard are the buttons to push, etc. I am very detailed when reading reviews before purchasing something, and would like to provide others with that insight to hopefully help.
