Pre-Chatter: #CobraConnect Challenge 3

How is Arccos working for you guys? I had it early last year and it missed so many shots I quit using it.

I found taking my phone out of its case and making sure the screen is facing outwards works the best. It hasn’t missed a shot since I started doing that.

Nearly perfect with my android phone, I was a little worried about battery usage but even that is minimal

Apparently Nunfa0 (Team #youdamnwellbetterhaka, #maybeMaori, #totallyhappening), is more deadly with a 3W than you are with a 6 irons.

Glad the Arccos is working great for you guys.. I had to take my phone out of the case and turn it backwards to work the best and it still would miss a few shots around, mostly putts though.. the caddie worked good when I remembered to use it. 

For the record I'm not choosing sides like other people, @Wedgie, I'm rooting for all of you to do great.. I will heckle, laugh at, and generally make fun of all of you equally.. 

And the way I see it @Nunfa0, is Rt handed.. since he's under the equator that means he upside down and Lh makes now Rt handed, or am i way off the mark.. HAHAHA

and @robertson153 Blake just cause Arccos registered the one drive you hit off the cart path down wind does not mean you will driving like that all year long.. Come back to earth... You by default will be @fozcycle choice to win.. that whole UK connection thing.. Seriously killing it if the caddie is giving you Driver, 6I for that hole.. nice work..

As shocking as he might think, I'm with #TeamKiwi. When Aussies and Kiwis play against each other, we're the worst of enemies...but when we play against someone else, cousins have to support each other.

OMG.. you just got suckered in....  New Zealand is to Australia what Canada is to the US. Kind of an annoyance but fun to party with... Canada is America lite, Same basic lifestyle just not quite as good.. 

 Let me guess down under you were left handed also??

Not suckered, I walked in with my eyes wide open!!  Now, the left handed is a strange one. I am actually left handed but throw, bat, play golf etc right handed and my right arm is my strongest.  I'll leave you to work it out.

Nice to see the ANZAC spirit is still strong mate

As someone who was not a fan of the dropped shots problem during my review in the fall of 2018, I have been blown away this spring with the new update to Arccos.

I’ve played two rounds down here in Virginia Beach with only looking to Arccos for distances. At the end of both rounds, Arccos had only missed one full swing and four tap in putts. 36 holes and only 5 “missed” shots with 4 of those being tap ins. I am blown away with how much better the system is compared to the fall.

The data has also become more defined as I have played more rounds. This was something I felt would happen, but it is great to see it in action. The handicap dashboards not only show you the Arccos handicap, but then your true trends can be drilled down even further.

For example:




When I have a GIR, my average is 2.2 putts. That means I’m taking birdie opportunities and turning them into bogies. Something I need to address.

Y'all are lucky I'm not in the contest. After today, my baseline would be so high, y'all wouldn't stand a chance.

I have been blown away at how easy it is to use, how accurate it is and how easy it is to understand the statistics. This is a system that I can really see having an effect on my handicap

So yesterday we had beautiful weather and 66 degrees (19C), today heavy rain and 42 degrees (6C) . To quote a little known TV show.... "Winter is coming" 🥶

Hey all, I just got caught up with the pr3 test chatter. Seems there is a challenge to see if anyone can Best my number of rounds played during the challenge. I seriously doubt it will be beat. As for any favorites, my blood is blue! #Team153

Oh wow....Foz backing Team153 is like having Yoda on your team.  

Anyone have Bardle's flight schedule for today?  We need to regroup after this announcement!

Yeah but the Jedi had Yoda on their side and look how well it's gone for them

[Wedgie]

You guys every look at the MPF (Maltby Playability Factor)?  It is basically a list that categorizes all the irons based on forgiveness.  It lists the F9 irons as Ultra Game Improvement.  Hard to find a more forgiving iron out there than these.

Boom, Mike drop.. I called that one..

Also I never let the cat out of the bag about the number of rounds you got in.. then again no one has asked.. 

[Bucky CC]

Hmm, this is a pretty big discrepancy.  Old irons were considered Conventional with a MPF of 517.  New F9's are Ultra Game Improvement with an 887 MPF.  It will be interesting to see if that actually means anything in the grand scheme of things.

You being the low handicap of the group it will be interesting to see how you get along with these clubs.  I don't know how much stock you can put into the MPF but I can say for myself, the higher the MPF the better the results have been.

There he is!! With the support, secrets, and mental coaching I’m getting from the one and only Foz, you guys surely know by now this is gonna be a landslide!!! Blood may be thicker than water, but, blue blood is thicker than molasses on a cold winter day. Welcome Foz to Team 153.

Yeah, I'll be curious to see how Bucky likes playing a club that is rated as an ultra GI. To be fair, I'm not a huge believer in the MPF, but I do think it is a very good starting point. If Cobra packed the forgiveness of a UGI into a GI looking body, they could have a home run.

Agreed!  If I had to guess I'd say the long irons will benefit Bucky but he will lose accuracy in the short irons.  That is my experience anyway.

That's my exact thought from two ranges sessions and quick nine holes with my kids.  A little help with the long irons could never hurt, but it's going to suck if I'm hitting 7-PW 10 yards over the green every other shot.

Last two Thursdays my 9 hole league has been rained out (still played though).  Current radar looks like this:

Hey @GolfSpy STUDque, need any last minute Galway Bay testers?

The scales seem to be tilted one direction . Now if I could just get GB13 to bring his psychological warfare to my side.
