Any problems with Arccos not detecting shots? I follow the Facebook group and there are a ton of complaints about that.
Does it negatively impact your phone's battery life? 
Who's going with the Arccos Link when it's released?

I had problems when my phone was in it’s waterproof case, once I took it out, no problems. I’m not going with the link. I use a iPhone XR and I don’t see a huge battery loss. Played 36 Saturday using the Arccos and still had 50 something percent left

I was say Cobra is definitely underrated when it comes to irons and wedges. I wouldn’t have even look at them if I was going for a fitting. I guess it’s just a marketing thing??

My Arccos sometimes misses my muffs and short putts but that is about all. I have an older Iphone 6s battery life sucks period!

I have played 12 rounds with Arccos caddie and I do like it and I have pre -ordered the Link.

Gonna get a newer phone soon too lol 🏌️‍♂️

I'm not a CCC tester but here are my thoughts on Arccos:

Mine might miss one full swing shot in a round. Tap ins are harder to get it to register.

It really drains my Pixel 3 battery.

Link got delayed because they wanted to add the ability to mark pin locations to it via a button. It's supposed to come out sometime in August or September I believe.

I guess that's where I like the simplicity of my GAME Golf Live. I tap the club and I get audible and haptic feedback that it registered. Only way for it to miss a shot is if I forget to tag. I usually end up double-tagging a few times a round, but I don't think I've missed a shot totally yet this year.

Another question for the testers, has this challenge changed the way any of you perceive Cobra?

Although you were all fitted in to your clubs, are there any changes you've thought about making, or wish had worked out slightly differently? Not saying anything was wrong with what you were fit into, more that now that you've gamed them for a bit, would you rather have something slightly different about one (or more) of the clubs?

Curious if any testers have seen any unusual/abnormal distances from the new irons? I have mentioned it elsewhere but I have had a couple instances where my PW flew 20-30 yards farther than normal.

Coming into the challenge, I don't think I would have given consideration to Cobra equipment outside of the driver. Not sure if I have a specific reason why other than no experience with their stuff.

Now, I 100% say that they are underrated, almost to a criminal level. If you do not go test their gear, you are missing out on some fantastic equipment.

Who's going with the Arccos Link when it's released?

I have had zero issues with Arccos detecting full shots or even partial shots around the green. The only "issue" is when I flub a full shot and it only goes 5yds, and I hit my next shot with the same club. I have to add that second shot in because the system is built to allow you to take multiple practice swings in the vicinity and have it not count as a shot.

Arccos does not hurt my battery life at all. I am using an iPhone 7, and have not had a battery issue on the course, even with my after work 9 hole rounds where I have used my phone throughout the day.

Yes, I am going to get the Link when released to leave the phone in my bag or cart and out of my pocket.

And here is my average distance with the irons.

The 5i hit was off the tee that caught the top of a hill 200yds out and rolled for days, which is a similar experience for most of the longest hits. They landed further than my normal carry distance and rolled for quite a bit. Nothing that made me question the clubs, just good or bad fortune on the course.

Figure out the gapping on my 5i to 6i. I play my 5i for shots 200-180 yds and the 6i for shots 180-170yds. That is a large gap between two clubs, so it would be nice to figure out why I'm getting more out of the 5i than the 6i.

I assume that gapping area wasn't an issue with your previous set?

Not that extreme between my 5i and 6i. I was using my 5i for shots 190-180 and the 6i for shots 180-170. I'm just getting so much more out of the 5i, and kinda wish I could find that in the other clubs to move them up the distance scale.

Asking the real, hard-hitting questions

 

Edit:  Actually, let me add to these a question of my own: 

Competitors, What advice would you give to forum members that would like to participate in a future Cobra Challenge?

Think long and hard before putting your name down. It's a big commitment and a lot of hard work but totally worth it. Make sure your significant other is happy for you to spend time immersed in golf and the forum 😁😎

How's the durability of the paint on the driver/woods? I know at least one of you has had to have hit a sky ball by now! 

How are your grips holding up? You guys are hitting a lot of balls.

@palvord - Sick of the Michigan weather yet? Went from cold, cloudy and rain, to 90, humid and unbearable in a hurry.

 

1. Paint and finish are fine but the driver face has a "ghost" of a ball on the high toe end.

2. I have midsize grips with 4 wraps but even with the added pressure the grips are like new 😁😎

Nope my phone has been happy as Larry and it uses not a lot of power. 

I would definitely consider it.

Think long and hard before putting your name down. It's a big commitment and a lot of hard work but totally worth it. Make sure your significant other is happy for you to spend time immersed in golf and the forum 😁😎

Nunfa0 hit the nail on the head here.  This is probably the biggest honor MGS bestows on forum members but it's a lot of work.  Without an amazing wife and an extremely understanding boss I wouldn't be able to handle this.  I think Uncle Ben said it best.

USGA now allows 15 clubs in your bag. Which club are you adding from previous set and why?

The USGA would never do something so sensible.  Fake news!

Honestly I don't think I would add anything from my previous bag.  I was never in love with my old irons and all the other Cobra clubs are clear upgrades over my previous set.  If I was forced to pick a 15th club I'd probably go with something like a 64° wedge just to try ridiculous Mickelson shots around the green.

Have the new clubs required any setup/stance changes to adjust, especially with the One Lengths?

Not really, just a tiny adjustment forward because the irons are slightly longer

I would say it's about 50/50 at the moment. Arccos gives me the right clubs for the distance but the clubs give me the confidence to hit the shot 😁😎

Another one:

Is Cobra an underrated brand? Obviously, we all know about the drivers. But it sounds like the irons and wedges are 🔥, also.

Yes it is, they have had a good name for woods for a couple of years but is time for people to treat Cobra as a serious contender in all categories.

Curious if any testers have seen any unusual/abnormal distances from the new irons? I have mentioned it elsewhere but I have had a couple instances where my PW flew 20-30 yards farther than normal.

Actually I haven't seen this at all. They have been very consistent. My Mizunos on the other hand have thrown out some knuckle balls in the past 🤔

I know your guys' ball striking is probably all waaaaaay more consistent than mine...but if you completely chunk a shot is there a way to take that out of Arccos' club stats?

Not meaning to make this an Arccos question spree, but what can I say, I'm curious and might be looking into Arccos or something similar😅😉

Mate don't worry about chunks or thins or trees or water 😵. I have had two tracking systems now and I highly recommend you get one. The numbers will even out and give you a true read of your game 😁😎

Hey all Spies! Just been reading I. The background this year, trying to stay quiet. However, I have a question....... Do any CCC testers have an iWatch, Series 3 or 4? The reason I ask is that Arccos works like a GPS watch with the iWatch. Pretty amazing once you get the hang of it. I had signed up for the Link, then my Series 1 iWatch developed a crack in the housing so I got the Series 3.

Also, are you using the Caddie? Are you playing the suggested club or are you second guessing and playing a different one? If so, are you going up or down?

I have a follow-up to this question: I imagine anyone not named @fozcycle is likely playing/practicing more than normal. If you are playing more than normal, do you think some of the observed improvement could simply be attributed to the amount you are playing?

Guys sorry I have been mostly absent this season. Job change and crazy hours are the issue.

Who has changed their game by using the "caddie" in arccos?

Who has had the most fun trying to play using this feature. I found it both fun and frustraing.

You guys are doing a killer job.. keep it up..



Sent from my SM-G900V using MyGolfSpy mobile app
 

Hey @Reesedw, I don't fully use the "caddie" feature as I don't take the time to look at their model for playing the hole. I just look at the recommended club and then decide if that is the correct choice based on the scenario or if I am grabbing something else.

Arccos does not fully understand ball below or above your feet, fairway vs rough vs thick rough, shot height required etc. I take those things into account with club selection, where it seems Arccos purely makes recommendations based on distance.

No iWatch for me.  I've looked at the Caddie a little bit but haven't fully tested it out yet.  Feels like I need a little more data with a couple of my irons before I can fully trust it.  Up until last week I had only hit my 5 iron a handful of times and one of them was a complete shank that was bringing the overall numbers down quite a bit.

Of course.  It's impossible to assign an accurate percentage around how much is the clubs, Arccos, or increased play.  I'm sure it's a little of each of those plus the increased focus and attention to detail we all have since we have to report our rounds and statistics in the forum.
