Looking forward to their reviews and work with these as we get to follow their games via arccos and see if it helps them improve their games like it has for many of us!

Congratulations testers! It looks like we've got a great group and I can't wait to see how you all enjoy and improve with Arccos.

Congrats guys!  Looking forward to your thoughts.  I have to say I've enjoyed Arccos even more this year while using my Apple Watch.  I still use my phone for GPS since that's the pocket I keep it in anyway and to save battery life, but getting quick distance reads, marking the flag, etc is all so simple with the watch.  

Then a quick review walking to the next tee shows me if I need to edit anything, which for me is rarely.

Yeah he had a issue with the signup button and yada yada. We will find a solution. We may even move this test to the old way if we can't and there is still this bug that shows up.

Due to an injury @tommc23 has had to withdraw from this testing opportunity meaning @MyWifesSwingCoach is now joining the crew for this test! We look forward to having him on this test and seeing the input he can provide.

This would be a teaching and learning device, I sure could use.  My game has changed as I aged and sure would be helpful to know data.  Also I would share with local High School golfers, to help them as well. Teaching and sharing.

I purchased the Arccos systems years ago as I don't wear a watch.  I pretty much hated the system with a passion.  I guess my phone wasn't sensitive enough to capture all the shots.  It was almost a complete waste of my money...and very frustrating.  I purchased the caddy and it was MUCH improved, but still pretty much left me cold.  I was very close to changing over to Garmin...but I had grips with embedded sensors...I hated to start over.  I then added the putter sensor...a huge improvement, as well as the system getting better in general.

The data is amazing.  I went to get fitted and showed my fitter the data...he was pretty amazed that my gapping was like perfect.  But the other data is what really counts.  Strokes gained.  Fairways hit.  Greens in regulation.  Distance to pin when you hit the green, or overall distance to pin, all by club (I can drive some very short par fours).  Pretty amazing suite of information.

I have one complaint...they keep adding analytics, but I don't have any voice...I want to know the distance without looking at my phone.  Hence the desire to use the Garmin watch even without sensors.  Nice to have all the data, but distance to pin is the most important feature while playing.  Plus the system is super optimistic.  I always use one club more than it recommends.  I'd love to have the entire suite and the most up to data version of the equipment...plus I'd blow all my data away as next week my new clubs arrive.  I only kept my putter, lob wedge and driver, so basically all my clubs with be new.  I already have one set of data from my prior clubs hanging down below on unpaired clubs.

I have always wanted to try these. My friends think I'm crazy cuz I write down which clubs I hit from what distance on almost every shot. I think this would be both interesting and eye opening.

The bundle includes a 12 month subscription, not just during the test period!

Thank you!  I had the 40 day trial period that came with my new Ping driver  and I enjoyed the ton of data that Arccos supplied.   Unfortunately, mainly due to weather and schedule, this accounted for just 4 rounds.  And here in NW Indiana, that would be near zero rounds November-March.  I would definitely be interested in Arccos if they would offer a monthly access, rather than paying for months that I would never use.  That's what I told them when I canceled after the free trial.

In other words, good luck testers!

I've had Arccos grips on my Speedzone irons and F9 4 iron as well as my driver, fairway woods, and hybrids. I have the Arccos caddie app with 3 free months so this is just the incentive I would need to use the grips and the app.

OEM's determine the location for member tests. Could be they are promoting more in one area or another or for support reasons among others. Testers selected for this product (this year) will only be from Canada or the US.

Arccos itself is available world wide. 

Curious if you have arccos already why you would sign up? You could write up your own unofficial review which would be great to see.

Also check out the how to become a tester thread linked up top to see all the ins and outs as to how testers are selected and how to better your chances. Quick hint be sure to get a profile picture! No profile picture = no selection.

I have Arccos sensors but haven't registered yet. We're careful about our credit card use for now. I still have a 3 month trial. I feel that being part of this testing will help me to proceed with my trial.

I would love to test the Arccos sensors. I will have more opportunity to play as I started working at a local golf course while I was on vacation this week.

I would take a look at our previous reviews. I think you’ll find that it’s worth using your trial to see if you find value in it!

Having used a competing shot-tracking system for the past 3 ((based on on a MGS review)years & being a proponent of said Scottish company/device, I would be interested in comparing/contrasting the features of the two platforms.

That being said, I had already decided to switch to Arccos this next golf season - especially for the Caddie feature Arccos offers. The addition of Link - being able to play without a phone in my pocket - was the final hurdle to my switching away from my current watch-based system.

Previous data revealed an improved approach dispersion would lead to lower scores, so I purchased a set of irons that supplied just-that throughout personal trials this year (I have a very accommodating & patient head pro at my course 🙂).

I think having additional strategic playing advice, based on MY previous data, would help eliminate those 'hero shots' that end-up 10 yards short...or worse!

Thank you, MGS, for a wonderful opportunity!

I currently received a set to trial from Taylormade. After growing accustomed to the app (I usually use Golf shot) it is nice to have all your shots automatically tracked and the data that comes with it. BUT is it worth $150/yr…eh…I’m not sure it is…

I use a Garmin S-40 watch currently. It does track distances for each club but would love to compare to Arccos. Not sure how accurate the Garmin is with that portion of the watch but gps is pretty spot on.
