Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy That Siri feature gets on my nerves. 1) because, just like Siri, it has a hard time doing what you ask. 2) it just doesn't do the stuff I need when lining up a shot. 3) you can't tell it to "never ask me again" so it's always popping up. 1 Quote In my Pisa, riding on a 3.5+ G410+ EXS 5W King F7 Hy i500 5-GW Equalizer 56/60 Heppler Ketsch Link to post Share on other sites

Got to set it up via iOS Arccos settings but once set worked a lot better than having to view phone and navigate through 2 screens As long as Apps is running take phone out, activate Siri through home button and say "Set Flag" done. Still feel like a bit of a twat talking to my phone, is it an age thing? 1 1 Quote WIMB Driver Callaway Epic 10.5' Fujikura Stiff 3W Callaway Epic 15' Fujikura Stiff 3-AW Srixon Z565 Nippon Stiff 52', 56' Cleveland RTX 585 Wedges Putter Taylormade Rosa Daytona Bags 2017 Callaway Org14 Cart bag or 2018 Srixon Z start Carry bag Link to post Share on other sites
Alf. S 626 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I initially had problems with it asking me if I wanted to record a phrase but once I disabled it, it stopped. But I've not set it up for Add Drive and Set Flag and I'm using it (sometimes) if no one is listening.

Dr Strangelove 231 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I just played with Arccos Caddie via the new Apple Watch app. Overall, I am impressed. The Caddie feature is much better than I anticipated. It's just the beginning of the season for us in Michigan. I played in less than ideal conditions (55 degrees and 10 - 20 MPH wind) on a course I had never played before. A perfect opportunity to test the Caddie feature. On the Apple Watch, Arccos provides "Measured" and "Plays Like" yardage which is supposed to consider temperature, elevation and wind. I relied on the "plays like" yardage heavily due to the wind and temperature. With the exception of one hole, it's "plays like" recommendation was spot on. A killer feature. The Apple Watch app was easy to use. There were a couple of instances where it wasn't on the right hole. I don't use it for anything but yards to pin, though. One thing you should be aware of if you are using Arccos with the Apple Watch. Unless you put your phone in Airplane mode, it will be using the GPS data from your phone rather than your watch. This is because the Apple Watch battery runs down quickly when you are using the watch's GPS. This means that while you won't have to keep your watch in your front pocket, you WILL need to keep it on you for accurate measurement. Back pocket is better than front pocket I suppose, but it's kind of a bummer. I've been reading about the Link. The nice thing is it WILL have it's own GPS, so you won't need to drag your phone around. But you will lose the Caddie feature unless they allow the GPS to pair with the Apple Watch. I have reached out to Arccos to determine if the Link will pair with the Apple Watch. If so, will be a big winner. 3 Quote G410 Plus, VA Vylyn 75 Four driver F8 3 wood F8 17*, XR 22*, 25* hybrids 0211 6 - GW irons Glide 2.0 Stealth 54/14, Zing LW wedges Sigma G Craz-E putter Leupold GX-4i3 Penalty Box: ER7 putter, Z565 irons Link to post Share on other sites

One thing i noticed is that i still need my phone to adjust the position of the pin on the green. Though most of the time the pin is located in the right place and i probably do not care that much about my average distance to pin and putting distance.... Im interested in that Link module though... Ive caught 3-4 times that the impact isnt detected though...

yungkory 9,414 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I emailed Arccos regarding the Link and they said they're adding a button to it that will allow you to mark pin locations. Stand next to the pin, press the button.The last week for pre order discount is now, and I pulled the trigger. Now that Link will do all of the heavy lifting, my battery life should be much improved as well. I don't use the caddie feature as I have a rangefinder and trust that more, I'm only interested in my stats.Sent from my Pixel 3 using MyGolfSpy mobile app 2 Quote Driver: SIM Max 10.5 Fujikura Motore X F3 5S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue 75S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: JPX 919 Forged Nippon Modus 3 Tour 105 S Wedges: RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 50 Mid | 54 Full S-grind | 58 Low Relief Grind Nippon Modus 115 Wedge Putter: L.A.B.

yungkory 9,414 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just popped back in here to say that Arccos support is top notch. I e-mailed them about one of the local courses having the incorrect yardages and par numbers (what's the correct term for this anyways?). A few days later they e-mailed me back and let me know that they updated it and that it is available for download! That's huge considering there is no subscription anymore, and makes me feel even better about buying their product(s). 1 Quote Driver: SIM Max 10.5 Fujikura Motore X F3 5S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue 75S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: JPX 919 Forged Nippon Modus 3 Tour 105 S Wedges: RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 50 Mid | 54 Full S-grind | 58 Low Relief Grind Nippon Modus 115 Wedge Putter: L.A.B.

I was thinking about doing this since I'm on Google Fi and get get a free data only sim I'm a dyed in the wool Android user, but I used a cheap iPhone SE for a while when I first got Arccos. A word of caution regarding Android phones. You are completely dependent upon the GPS accuracy of the phone. Not too long ago, I replaced my crappy Samsung J7 with a less crappy Moto G6. The G6 is actually a really great budget phone, but the GPS accuracy is subpar. I was recording shots that we're 50 yards off at times. I got in touch with Arccos support and they confirmed that very few of my shots were accurate within 5 yards. So now it's back to the J7 for golf.

Golfspy_CG2 25,107 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 So I just joined the Arccos family, got my sensors and paired them yesterday. So far so good. I've read the last 11 pages of this thread, and lots of good info! Thanks everyone for all the input. My first question might have been covered early on that i didn't go back far enough to see. I often go out and play 4 to 6 holes at a time. Should I have Arccos on during those "rounds" will it throw any of my stats off, or is it just a matter of tracking club data to help me regardless of how many holes are played at a time.
