After I hit my first putt, I walk out the distance to the hole using the old "1 yard step." When I'm done with the hole, I write that distance on the scorecard. My post round edit is to move the landing spot of the shot that hit the green to match that distance. It takes about 15 minutes to be honest, so not trivial. i've been keeping "first putt distance" stats in a very rudimentary fashion for about half a season now by pacing off my first putt. seems like not too much adjustment for me there cksurfdude 1 Quote SIM2 8º | KuroKage XD 70TX SIM 3W 14º | Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 9TX SIM2 5W 18º | Fujikura Ventus Black 10X U500 2i | Fujikura Ventus HB Black 10TX T100 4-PW | Dynamic Gold X7 SM6 52* SM8 56* SM8 60* | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 DW | BGT Stability Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would echo that my V2 had missed maybe one shot in a dozen rounds but editing the putting is a must for more accurate strikes gained.

Nope not at all basically once you get the sensor to activate it notes what tag it is and where you are for the tracking, but only once. It would also not even count a second ball from the same spot as a new shot. Even when testing my driver and the Epic this year only the second club activated is recorded for the shot.

I assume that it has an accelerometer in the watch that can tell a ball impact. You have to tell it how many times you used the putter because of gimmes and very short putts. If you have a ten foot putt and you putt to one foot and pick up, it knows that you two putted only if you press 2 when locating the pin. Even if you putt out, the GPS is not accurate to inches so it couldn't locate accurately that an 18 inch putt took place. I believe it defaults your last putt to about two feet when there is a discrepancy between your pin locator press and the number of putts it actually records. tony@CIC and cksurfdude 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it does appear that all of my other shots did record. Once again, I'll report back after my next round, hopefully tomorrow. Alright, so... It seems that the factory reset has cleared up my missed shots issue, at least for 2 rounds. But I still have extraneous shots that show up from time to time. They always seems to be from the club I last used and knowing that makes it simple to delete it. But I'm still not sure why it happens at all. I clearly remember one of them. I hit a great 8 iron over a row of pine trees (yes, that means my previous shot was a driver over said trees into the adjacent fairway; but that's another issue!!!!). But I misjudged direction a bit and flew over the other side of the fairway. So instead of waiting for my playing partner to pick me up, I started walking to my ball occasionally using the club as a walking stick. I don't recall "hitting" an object or the ground, but I did ground the club. I'm guessing one of those got recorded as a shot. Anyway, the reset seems to have eliminated the missed shot issue.

toehold57 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 We talked about this a bit last year. My take is when you take a practice swing the tag and watch sync up, you can see what club you have on the watch. Remember, the watch band has an antenna in it, so the tags and watch do talk to each other. The watch now reads the GPS coordinates. It has no idea if and when you actually hit the ball. After you move some distance away from this location the watch will assume you will be hitting your next shot Several have noticed that if you seriously duff one a short distance that only one shot will be recorded. It’s a simple design that appears to work well. MattF, cksurfdude, tony@CIC and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do that, hold the club in the other hand so it's not near the watch. You don't have to ground the club or hit anything for it to pick it up, the tag being within 4" of the watch is what records. cksurfdude, tony@CIC, MIGregB and 1 other 4 Quote In the bag: Driver: Darkspeed X 9° UST Mamiya LIN-Q M40X Blue 7F4 Fairway: Apex UW 19° & 21° Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX Black 5.5 Irons: JPX 923 HMP 5-PW UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Wedges: T-22 Denim Copper 48°, 52° & 56° UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Putter Sycamore 005 Wide Blade Bag: Fairway 14 stand bag Balls: Chrome Tour X Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIGregB Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 So... between tony@CIC & toehold57 posts alone, my understanding and low-maintenance use of Shot Scope has improved considerably. Now, post round clean-up is pretty minimal and the extraneous shots nearly eliminated. I'm still working on a process of being able to keep loose by swinging a club well off the ball (like when someone else is setting up to hit) without recording a shot, short of pausing. Maybe I'll start carrying an iron without a tag installed for that purpose. Now I want to understand the reporting process to help Shot Scope correct location errors. I'll go through these posts & the Support files to see what they have to say about it.

Based on your positive comments, I've recently switched to manual putt tracking and I completely agree that it works far better and more reliably than auto mode. My only issue is accidentally pushing the bottom right finished button (V3) before I'm ready and having to switch back before putting out. Seems like I only have to brush it for it to register.

I can’t remember how to do it but I think(!) there is a way to put the watch in ‘pause’ mode, it will ignore swing until you enable it again. I didn’t pay much attention to it, I’d forget to turn it back on cksurfdude, MIGregB, tony@CIC and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is, push and hold the top left button until the pause screen appears, then press the top right button next to the check mark. To unpause is the same thing. toehold57, cksurfdude, MIGregB and 1 other 4 Quote In the bag: Driver: Darkspeed X 9° UST Mamiya LIN-Q M40X Blue 7F4 Fairway: Apex UW 19° & 21° Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX Black 5.5 Irons: JPX 923 HMP 5-PW UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Wedges: T-22 Denim Copper 48°, 52° & 56° UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Putter Sycamore 005 Wide Blade Bag: Fairway 14 stand bag Balls: Chrome Tour X Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To unpause is the same thing. Thanks for the info, guys, but I find it annoying to remember to pause (not to mention the whole 3-4 seconds it takes to do it!!!) when I want an impromptu swing. Then remember to un-pause before my live swing. That's what I meant by "short of pausing". I think I'm going to tryout my un-tagged club idea to see whether I find it more or less convenient than pausing. It's probably neither, just different but maybe I'll like it better. cksurfdude, tony@CIC and MattF 3 Quote Paradym AI Smoke w/ HZRDUS GEN 4 Silver 60 Graphite 6.0 or Motore X F35R shaft, ZX 5 Wood & 7 Wood w/Evenflow Riptide 5.5 shaft, JPX919 Hot Metal 4-PW w/Project X LZ 5.5 shafts, SM10 52.12F, SM10 56.14F & SM10 60.12D wedges, Sabertooth White Ice, -Pro V1X (preferred) or Tour X ball, X5 Watch, Nikon Laser 500 range finder.

CWilson216 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Well I was excited to give manual putting a try, however after watching @MattF yesterday forget / miss several putts and pin locations. More so marking the putts, going to pin collect then realizing he forgot to mark the first putt. cksurfdude, MattF and tony@CIC 2 1 Quote Driver: TSR3 * - Tensei AV White 65 X Fairway Wood: TS2 16.5* - Tensei AV Blue 65 S Hybrids: TS2 19.0* - Tensei AV Blue 70HY S Irons 5-GW: JPX 921 Hot Metal - Pro Nippon Modus 3 Tour 105 S Wedges Vokey 54 | 58 | Putter: ER Ball: ProV1x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
