2018 Official Forum Member Review - Shot Scope V2

[Golfspy_CG2 34,011]

If you've not had / seen the email from Shot Scope, they're doing a 2018 user survey, part of which has a section for the features you'd like to see added. Just the place for you to make this suggestion to them

 

https://demo-account.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/2018-shot-scope-survey

Thanks. I got the email this morning. I'm going to take the time to complete it sometime today.

 

On the subject of why I would find that feature helpful. You mentioned in your previous post that if you want to be able to share and brag about your drives. Thsts definitley not the case for me. I can assure you there is nothing about my driving distance worth bragging about [emoji15]

 

When you try as many clubs as I do and many different shafts in those clubs. It's nice to get some immediate on course feedback. I know it's there at the end of the round. But often cases it's the next day before I'm near a computer to review the round in detsil.

 

And I do like and make use of all the stats, such as approach shots. And you are correct. Myself and others who I've seen stats for come up short far far more often than going long.

 

Putting I am not the majority. I always aim for the old school approach of putting to 18 inches beyond the hole and I definitely miss long more than short.

 

I'm not giving up on it. I'm hopeful almost confident that some of my issues--and I feel comfortable in saying most are my issues--will be worked out the more I use it.

I think that the system will get to a place where you can get instant distances and feedback. It may even get to the point where you hit a bad shot the watch says "well that was stupid, wasn't it". But for now we have to be satisfied with waiting till we have synced at the end of the round.

[Nunfa0 6,104]

Also I have found myself using the Shot Scope as a double check of my score. Literally 5 minutes after I finish my round, I have synced, edited and started showing off my round 😁😎

[Nunfa0 6,104]

Let's have a wee bump while we wait for the next stage two's.

[Nunfa0 6,104]

So for your enjoyment, here are my stats for the last 5 rounds. My putting has been a worry but I always struggle on slow winter greens.

Ooh, I like that idea and I'd be tempted to join you in posting, but we'd rapidly fill the thread with big images.

It does strike me, though, that's one feature that would be nice on Shot Scope, being able to have "friends" or similar where you could compare your stats in their app. Could have impromptu competitions of "Okay, in my next round I'm going to try to be closer than you on approaches"...

[MaxEntropy 8,275]

Good stuff Nunfa0!

 

I really like the image for approaches, in particular. It looks to me like your slight miss is short/right or long/left, with a bigger miss just being short. Do you have an idea about the cause? Is it not enough club? Hitting a bit chunky? How big of a "miss" do those stats represent?

The short game needs some work what does the red circle represent as far as distance to the who vice the yellow I assume red is inside 5 feet?

For me, at least, the red circle represents 6 feet. I wonder if this is different per user based on averages, or is standard based on what is determined to be "close".

I have yellow representing 20 feet to the outer perimeter.

 

There is another view that shows each shot's location within the disk rather than the averages.

It's a little bit of both, I have been under clubbing a little due to the cooler conditions and catching the ball a little heavy due to the softer ground. I will put up the other view to show distances and they are all in meters.

Yeah I've been concentrating on making good contact with the ball and that's why I haven't been getting to the hole. The long left miss is when I yip at it and hit it thin.

[Nunfa0 6,104]

Here are the other views showing the distances in meters. Approches includes all clubs from 3 wood down and short game is 8 iron down 😀😎

Those are some good stats to have. Out of curiosity, what are the difference between the green and blue dots. I know the red is in the "red zone", is blue missed the GIR and green dot hit the GIR?

[GeekingGolf 1,801]

I love the data gosh the Shotscope seems awesome wish I would have bought one during that MGS special they had but truth is it's a difficult choice with Arccos out there

Yeah, it seems like Shotscope is much better in the short game but Arccos is better in the long game and also has the Caddie to consider...

The caddie is definitely a point to consider, but what is it you feel Arccos offers in the long game that Shot Scope is missing?

I like the handicap breakdown and I think the data is presented in a more useful manner. This is nothing against Shotscope, just my personal preference.

Yep you got it in one,for approach shots blue is missed green, green is on the green and red is close. Also for short game yellow is inside 7 meters on the green.

[Nunfa0 6,104]

By the way, those screen shots are from the mobile version of the website. The computer version is a little different (as shown in the stage 2)

 

 

Oh and I hit my longest drive since getting the Shot Scope yesterday of 263 meters or 287 yards 😁😎

[perseveringgolfer 4,803]

one other small gripe about the watch size (sorry, another gripe but overall it's an excellent product) but it's worth everyone knowing our honest reviews particularly as a user and not a seller or marketer. I saw a shotscope review by 2 golf magazines which were gushing and only had all the marketing positives. This is where MGS and us fellow spies can affirm or contest some real world user experiences.

 

Anyway, it's now raining here, a lot, so waterproofs everytime I play, the watch prevents putting on and taking off waterproofs quickly due to the cuffs not easily passing over the watch. Small issue but worth noting if you play in consistent wet environments.
