B81Smith Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Yea I have no idea. I usually don’t take more than 1 practice swing. Their advice not mine is to take as many practice swings as possible because it makes the algorithm work better.I really tried and from the quick responses it seems many like it but I can’t believe it picks up everything. Also on mine the battery would be at 10% after 18 holes. No way would it last more than 1 round. Yes mine also added the occasional shot I cannot explain.Yes I submitted the suggestions via email, support, a survey and on the return form. Lol. They cannot miss it. Regular price on this is 259 now on sale for 189 and almost each month they have a sale for 159. Garmin has a comparative product that’s like 400!!!! So I’d say they can get a touch screen for not much more money and just stick to 259 because that’s how much it’ll cost. Either that or maybe a combination of buttons that lock all buttons until it’s time to collect the putts. Putting is the only time I wouldn’t somehow hit the GD next hole button. I could literally pronate my wrist and show folks I could change holes in my backswing and it was any further up my arm it would be way outside the 10cm range. So there was no appeasing the darn thing. It didn’t like me.

MattF Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I think one of the biggest issues with the next hole button is wearing a glove. I had the same issue because I was wearing a glove for the first time in about 3 or 4 years. Took the glove off around hole 8 last week and didn't have the next hole issue again. I usually take 2 practice swings but I've also done what I've seen @MaxEntropy do...wave the club around in the air like he's fighting off bees!

B81Smith Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Yea. I just think V3 will be heads n tails above the V2 hopefully. Or I assume if they don't come out with a new one, maybe upgrades to current software will be the trick. The range needs extending, the button issue needs to be fixed - 99% of folks wear a glove! so not wearing one will be a complete melt down deal breaker clubs flying out of my hand style. I did think to maybe try making odd fake swings to get the shots recorded, maybe even taking the watch off, grabbing it for every shot, holding it on the grip and making a swing before returning it to cart/bag and then making a real practice swing and playing the shot - BUT COME ON THEIR CLAIM TO FAME IS FORGETTING THIS IS ALL HAPPENING, DOING NOTHING AND PLAYING! lol So doing too much extra especially during a state tournament was a bit much for me. Really sucks giving it back but it was way more hassle than it was worth. I'll get the next version.

revkev Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 So sorry to hear about your experience BB.Other than driver I’m pretty much a no practice swing guy or a gentle one when I do. I’ve only had one missed shot in 3 rounds. It had the pin in the wrong bag place and gave me one less putt.If it gets the flag wrong how do you change it?

As has been mentioned before, editing should be done on a PC. Doing it on a touch based device (phone/tablet) will turn a sober man into a connoisseur of the finest plastic bottled bourbon . I am curious to troubleshoot your saving and editing issues. This is may be the wrong question to ask so please forgive me.

B81Smith Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Another issue was walking across a green in order to chip or pitch it will say you’re on the green even if you walk like 10-20 yards off the green it wouldn’t change.

gbtrsc Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I tried and returned SS2. It missed a bunch of shots, pin locations, etc. in the several rounds I played with it.

cksurfdude Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Sadly, I'm starting to fall out of love with mine... I'm concerned about the GPS accuracy but a bit more unhappy with all the required post-round editing. I'd started a separate thread looking for feedback on just how other ShotScope users are looking at their stats, and just how any insights are informing or changing your practice time and/or game plans.... I get that the tour pros need to slice and dice and drill down into every detail ad infinitum, and perhaps in the future it may be important to me to know if I'm in the right rough 140 yards out I have a better percentage with X club vs Y club ... but for me and where I'm at with my game I need to work on keeping my golf ball where I can see it within the confines of the golf course property So, for (real) example... I already know (1) I need to improve my fairway accuracy. I already know (2) I miss greens short; but then I also know I miss at least as many right and left though pin-high - so I need to work on my approach shot dispersion. And I already know (3) that I'm very likely to 3-putt when starting from more than 30 feet away - so I need to work on, yeah, lag putting / distance control but also approach shot proximity plus chipping accuracy from off the green.

This pretty well sums up my experience with shot tracking devices at this point in time. The primary value they provide to me anymore is distance. I know my strengths are driving and putting. Approach shots need some work and Short game needs some MORE work. At this point, traditional stats work just fine alongside changes in score and handicap as a means of using metrics to gauge improvement. I've even plugged all the handicap formulas into a spreadsheet so I can track my handicap without forking out money to the USGA every year. It means my handicap isn't official, but considering I've played in absolutely zero tournaments where one was required, I'm not concerned.

MaxEntropy Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I'm still a fan. As far as GPS accuracy, at my level, it does not matter is it is off a few yards - if I knew I could hit my clubs a precise distance every time, it may be bothersome, but until that time I really like looking at my wrist versus pulling out my phone. I honestly sort of enjoy the post round editing, although I have not had to make too many changes that weren't the result of me doing something dumb (like forgetting to pin collect or changing clubs at the last second). For the most part, all I usually have to do is make sure putt locations are approximately correct and that all the little baby chips registered. I do feel like the putt tracking needs to be better. As I have started looking at putts from different angles more frequently, the system seems to assign a putt location to something that is a very strange place, like I was putting away from the hole or 90 degrees away.

MaxEntropy Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I have now played 140 holes with the ShotScope. As I've mentioned at other times, I haven't learned much in terms of what is wrong with my game, but I believe these stats shows me something.... The round above was yesterday - I shot an 84 (par 71) with 29 putts (if you saw my post in the Stroke Lab thread, you'll recall I reported 30 putts, but found a hole that, for some reason, kept reporting as a 3-putt that was not). I had 3, 3, 4, 2 on the par 3's and 5, 5, 6 on the par 5's. For the season so far, I am less than bogey on par 3's and par 5's and over bogey on par 4's. Why is that? I would contend that it is an indication that my iron game is a strength but tee shots are my struggle. Even though I miss as many fairways on par 5's, the extra shot gives me time to recover and apparently the recovery shots are generally successful. My current rate of up-and-downs for the season is 40% (inside 50 yards) so I know I have a reasonable chance at getting home in two once I am close to or on the green. Why aren't the recovery shots as successful on par 4's? I would guess it's a psychological thing where I try to do too much to get too close instead of taking my medicine and playing for a bogey. cksurfdude and MattF 2 Quote Driver: Epic Speed 9* (set -1) MMT 70X 3W: Tour B JGR Recoil 760ES 3H, 4H: Tour B JGR 19*, 23* Recoil 780ES 4-AW: Tour B JGR HF2 Modus3 Tour 105 SW: RTX Zipcore Black Satin 54* LW: TAIII Black 58* Putter: Scottsdale TR Senita Bag: BigMax Dri Active Lite Ball: TP5x or AVX (yellow) Pushcart: BigMax iQ+ Testing Complete, Final Review Posted: Sub70 TAIII Forged Wedges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Par 4s probably leave you with 160-180 yards to the green while Par 5s do give you an extra buffer shot so that the approach shot should be well within 130 yards.

Yeah, great point! Have to remind myself to take an "extra shot" on long Par 4s and play for bogey, not for par - ie within my capabilities.

Overall, I am very pleased with the product. It is easy to use, captures the strokes you make, and the dashboard product (which records your rounds, shot by shot, along with an overlay on top of a GPS enabled map on your laptop computer) is a very good tool for reviewing your round. I recommended the product for a golfing buddy of mine, and, frankly, I was a little concerned after the first round, but as we both became more skilled with the product, and more used to how it operates, I have become even more of a fan, as has he. It is not as intuitive as some devices (think Iphone) but certainly not as difficult as learning to drive ( a car or golf ball!!!) Here are my more specific thoughts about the ShotScope 2.0 Great product that does exactly what it claims it does- captures and tracks your shots, records your rounds and provides individual round and annual assessments on your game, allowing you to identify and practice on your weak areas, to get value out of your practice. The ShotScope support team are as close as an email, and while they strive to answer emails within 48 hours, I have almost always received a return email within 12 hours or less. That does not mean the issue is resolved, but I know they are looking at the issue. There have been a few hiccups on the way- first, at my home course, (clearly they mapped via commercially available GPS imagery) they made a minor mistake, erroneously marking the putting green as White 9 (we have three 9 hole courses - Red, White, and Blue), so GPS distance on White 9 is off. I have identified this and the technician who will fix this problem emailed me and thanked me for identifying the issue and said it would be resolved. I mentioned the time (drawn from overhead satellites) which currently displays Greenwich Mean Time, vice the local time, which the technician assured will be resolved in the next software update. Similarly I mentioned the fact that currently the display only includes distance to front, middle and back of green. This is great, especially considering it is variable based on where you are approaching from, however I would like to have information on hazards (bunkers, water hazards, OB, etc, and distance to runout into the rough thru the fairway. These, I am told, are also planned for the next software update. I have a difficult time remembering to tap the button to "capture the "Pin Collect" putt counting process, and often walk off the green before remembering. Once again, this is not an issue, as you can review and revise this once you download the round to your computer. Editing this information on the Dashboard is, in fact, very intuitive and actually quite a bit of fun! You not only get a chance to re-live the round, but make sure that what the Shotscope thinks you hit is correct (I have occasionally had a mis-reading or extra swing counted- only rarely is it a "Mulligan"). The device provides accurate feedback, and helps you realize what your club distances are. Frankly, it is a bit humbling, although I believe that the more data into the system, the more accurate the readings will be. More than ever, this is a great tool and a great piece of equipment that every serious golfer should have!
