MattF Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 14 hours ago, Paul Hedrick said: No, I never asked SS support about this. I just know that every time I had an issue, the told me to log out of the app and log back in. Today it seemed to work. The only issue I had was that off the first tee, it seemed to take a very long time to find the course I was playing. Perhaps I waited too long before my tee time to set it up, but it did not find my course until my second shot. I will ask SS support if there is a way of shortening the time for the V3 to find the course I am on My understanding is that if you haven't played that course for more than about 3 days or so, it'll take longer to find the course.

Capturing putting distances is a tough thing for a couple of reasons. GPS accuracy - commercial GPS units aren’t accurate to the foot so even if you capture the location it could still be off by a few feet. GPS takes time to adjust. If you have a device that shows F/M/B locations you will notice that it takes about 5 to 10 seconds to adjust to your location and provide the correct distance. When we get close to the hole or have made a putt, the GPS may not have completed the location mapping when we mark the hole or that 2 footer.

So I guess, to use a worn out phrase, it is what it is.... from Wikipedia When selective availability was lifted in 2000, GPS had about a five-meter (16 ft) accuracy. GPS receivers that use the L5 band have much higher accuracy, pinpointing to within 30 centimeters (11.8 in), while high-end users (typically engineering and land surveying applications) are able to have accuracy on several of the bandwidth signals to within two centimeters, and even sub-millimeter accuracy for long-term measurements. Consumer devices, like smartphones, can be as accurate as to within 4.9 m (or better with assistive services like Wi-Fi positioning also enabled). As of May 2021, 16 GPS satellites are broadcasting L5 signals, and the signals are considered pre-operational, scheduled to reach 24 satellites by approximately 2027. the V3 supports the use of l5 satellites https://support.shotscope.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009933977-How-do-I-switch-the-settings-to-have-L1-and-L5-GPS-on-and-what-does-it-do- cksurfdude, did you see that?, PhilM75072 and 3 others 6 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: Paradym AI Smoke Max HL 16.5* w/MCA TENSEI AV Series Blue Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Render w/VA Composites Baddazz Backup Putters: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe, Milled Collection RSX 2 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to thread highjack, but my last 3 phones were Pixels. I just wasn't thrilled with the Pixel 6 when I needed a phone last May. I have the S22+ and it's pretty darn nice, but I miss Pixel's phone features (particularly spam handling & VM), built-in calendar (although I use Google's calendar app & it seems to work as well as it did on the Pixel, unlike the phone app) and the amazing things they do with camera software. I should be ready for a new phone about the time the Pixel 9 comes out; hopefully it'll be a good one. Thanks! Update: MattF, you've nailed it! My wife has a Pixel 5a running Android 13. I just installed the Shotscope app and it works fine. Thanks! The Samsung March 2023 update for my S22+ just came through (now with One UI 5.1 overlay) and the same home screen display issue is still present on the app. I get that developing apps for Android is a bigger challenge than for iOS (there has to be a few advantages to locking down an OS), and Samsung makes it an even bigger challenge with it's One UI. But it's not like Samsung is a minor player in the market with a handful of smartphones with which they have to contend. This display issue has persisted since November. Everything still seems to function, it's very annoying to have to drill down to see basic round info on the app. Rant finished... for now. tony@CIC and cksurfdude 2 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.

Why not offer an option to have a paid V3 app available for Apple & Samsung watches? Oh yeah....they can't sense what club I'm using. First thought: a yawn for me They do look nicer than the V3, but I'll stick to the square 'watch'. Appears to be the same rubber-ish band & clasp. I am a proponent of SS, so what I have isn't going anywhere.

PhilM75072 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Showing the green and being able to move the pin location is a nice feature, but will still not be as accurate as using a rangefinder for distance to the pin. Having it be a nice looking watch when not playing is nice, but I quit wearing every day watches years ago. Counting steps is nice for those who wear fitness trackers, but I don't. A more colorful watch face is nice, but doesn't change the data shown. The only feature that would get me interested is if they somehow substantially increased GPS accuracy. Don't get me wrong, I love my V3 and Shot Scope as a company, and my V3 isn't going anywhere. At this point, however, I'm not interested in this new watch at the price they will be offering it.

MattF Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 https://shotscope.com/us/products/golf-gps-watches/x5/ It's a pretty big upgrade but unless you want a semi smart watch, I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze. There's no syncing it with your phone for calls or messages etc, I like that it's round and it's touchscreen but that's about it. I'll be keeping my V3 for the time being. cnosil, CudaKota66, cksurfdude 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...

They are offering existing users a pretty hefty discount! I wasn't going to consider it at the full retail price, but with the discount, only available for the next 10 days, I have put it into the "seriously considering" column. cksurfdude, fozcycle, MattF and 2 others 4 1 Quote In my TaylorMade Supreme Golf Bag: Driver: PXG Gen 6 0311 10.5° with Motore X F3 R Shaft 45" 3W: Callaway 3W Mavrik Max w/ UST Helium Black 4F2 5W: Callaway Epic Flash (+1/N) w/ Project X Evenflow Green R Flex Hybrid: Callaway Big Bertha 4H (+1/N) w/ UST Recoil 760 ES F2 Irons: Callaway Apex CF19 with UST Recoil F2 shafts Wedges: Callaway MD5 54° and 58° with KBS steel shafts.

GolfSpy Barbajo Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Blog post on the new X5 dropping this morning. It has some pretty interesting features, specifically AI-enhanced shot detection capabilities. It's important to remember it's a shot tracking device first and foremost that incorporates GPS into a watch. As a GPS watch, I"d say it's nowhere near as cool as the Garmin S62,, but if you want that thing to do shot tracking, you'd been to spend another $300 for the sensors to go along with the $500 just for the watch. As a company, Shot Scope is trying to hit as many price points as possible to get shot tracking or distance measuring into as many hands as possible. I think their lasers are very under-appreciated - and the new model coming in at $150 is going to be pretty sweet (it's technically being released today as well, but they don't want to give it any love until after the Masters - instead focusing on the X5). The LX rangefinder will also be getting an update in the coming year - think smaller with a magnet, but still with the H4 if you prefer to do your shot tracking that way. And not for nothing, I love the fact there are no subscription fees. The stats package is robust enough for my liking, and it doesn't overwhelm me with data. As a watch, I have an Apple watch that I maybe use to one-one thousandth of its capabilities - that's all on the user. It's convenient, but I mostly use it as a timepiece. I'll give this thing a go as a regular watch and see how it goes. Step tracking will be cool and Gavin tells me there will be continuous free firmware updates, so it wouldn't surprise me if a few more functions are added. Full hole mapping is already coming this summer. Any questions - hollah.... cksurfdude, sirchunksalot, ejgaudette and 4 others 6 1 Quote What's in the bag: Driver: TSR3; DynaPWR Carbon FW Wood: DynaPWR 3-wood; TSR 2+ Hybrids: PXG Gen4 18-degree Utility Irons: ZX MkII 20* Irons:; 699/699 Pro V2 Combo; D9 Forged; MT86 (coming soon!); VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Wedges: RTX6 Zipcore Putter: HB Soft Milled 10.5; Newport Special Select; Willamette, BB8; 8802; MATI Monto Ball: Tour B RXS; Z-STAR Diamond; Triad Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Strangelove Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I'm seriously looking at the X5. I've not been satisfied using my Apple Watch for GPS as I can't find an app that I like.
