If so any issues? After doing a "factory reset", not just a reboot, I had three flawless rounds. Then there was today. Same problem I previously experienced and happening at the exact same location on the same course. On the 16th hole, I used "Last Shot" and the watch read "0". GPS worked fine from that point, but it apparently stopped reading tags (confirmed when I got home using the Read Tags function). I don't know how it placed shots, but shots were all over the place on those last three holes, and clubs shown included inactive clubs. At least it completed all 18 holes as a single round, and I just had to correct all the data for the last three. Another factory reset, and it is back to reading tags again. Back to the V3 until things get sorted out. cksurfdude, CudaKota66, MIGregB and 2 others 1 4 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.

TR1PTIK Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Sent another message to Shot Scope this morning regarding my L2 order as I still haven't received any updates or a response to my previous message requesting a status update. Really disappointed right now... In other news, I left my H4 stuck to the golf cart yesterday. Course is 40 minutes away and I don't play there often so I guess it's theirs now. I had a text message from Cleveland Golf for a free 45-day trial of Arccos so I went ahead and paid the $10 to see if I have a better experience now that I own an Apple Watch, but maybe I've just reached the point where I stop using shot trackers as helpful as they are... EDIT: It arrived! Still a little bummed that Shot Scope support never returned my message (we'll see if they reply to the one from this morning), but at least it's here now. I look forward to using it Saturday!

nupezb Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 This morning, I had the opportunity to play 9 holes. Everything was going smoothly during the round until I got to the last hole. Unfortunately, after my approach to the green, my watch suddenly went back to the clock display, which messed up my tracking.During the round, my interaction with the watch was minimal. I only checked the distance of two of my drives, and there was no other significant interaction.The tags worked well for tracking my shots, but unfortunately, my watch stopped working on the last hole.During my game, I made use of the auto-putting feature but manually noted down the distances of each putt for editing later. Although the GPS tracking at ground level had some minor inconsistencies, the auto-putting function performed satisfactorily in general.Throughout the round, I regularly checked to ensure that my tags were properly capturing my shots, and up until the last hole, I was prepared to provide a positive review with no issues. Unfortunately, the unexpected interruption during the final hole disrupted the GPS tracking. I am unsure of the exact cause for the tracking failure.I eagerly anticipate the release of the next firmware update, hoping that it will address these issues and provide a more seamless experience in future rounds.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk MIGregB, cksurfdude, MattF and 1 other 4 Quote Ping G430 Max 10.5 degree PING Tour 2.0 Chrome 65 Ping G430 Max 3 Wood PING Tour 2.0 Chrome 75 Ping G430 Max 7 Wood PING Tour 2.0 Chrome 75 Ping 3i iCrossover PING Tour 2.0 Chrome 85 Wilson D9 Forged 5-GW Ping Glide 4.0 56/10 Ping Glide 4.0 60/10 Ping Kushin 4 putter Maxfli Tour & Wilson Triad White Golf Balls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR1PTIK Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I got a response from Shot Scope. They apologized for the delay stating that they've been very busy (which I don't doubt). I mentioned what happened to my H4 and asked if it was possible to purchase just the device by itself. Unfortunately, they don't have an option to do that, but he did offer to discount the price of a new unit which I gladly accepted.

I thought that was the case and your info provides a short cut to fix the "!". My problem is that the "!" has appeared twice in my last round because the X5 has moved off the hole by itself without me even leaving the green. Both times everything was tracking just fine on the hole. Then I input the number of putts and it advanced to the next hole before I could confirm the score. Both times it happened as I was walking across the green. Hopefully firmware updates will nail down some of these glitches. cksurfdude, CudaKota66 and tony@CIC 2 1 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.

sellemental Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I've been following this thread, and frankly I am quite surprised how many issues there have been with the X5. I did not make the leap and continue to use my V3, but unfortunately, I think some of the issues have bled over to my unit's performance as well. I've had several holes in the last few rounds where I went to mark my putt location ( I enter them manually), and the watch has moved onto the next hole all ready. Nothing I cannot easily fix during editing, but none the less, a little concerning. Historically Shot Scope has been exceptional, so I really hope they find their way back to that level, and I for one, am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they will.

My X5 is awaiting its turn (3 rounds logged with Arccos; need to log 5 to unlock all of the features) so I am sorry to be unable to contribute to the Field Trial at this time This whole 'planning a Fall wedding' thing is getting-in-the-way of my golf game I will say ShotScope is a clear leader in shot editing post-round (via the dashboard). Or, I haven't found a good tutorial explaining how to accurately edit on 'the other system'. Yes, I record all of my shots on a scorecard & still dislike having to refer to my phone endlessly. The Arccos Android app on a Samsung Gear watch is laughable (at best). The Link 2 sensor is greatly improved over the original & I haven't had any missed shots with proper on-course input by yours-truly. With ShotScope, I was able to glance at my wrist for F/M/B yardage, shoot the pin, pull a club, and make the shot....all with my phone stored in my bag Keep fighting the good fight, ladies & gents.....I'll join you all shortly cksurfdude, tony@CIC, TR1PTIK and 1 other 4 Quote Epic Flash King F8 3W Epic Flash Max 7W G425 4i-PW CBX2 50/54/58 Inovai 6.0 Tour Response or Triad (both thanks to MGS testing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrying about the metrics more than playing. 2. I just bought some golf clubs that I didnt need along with a Hamilton Khaki watch that I also didnt need.

Larryw Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Update on my earlier post about Last Shot operation when in GPS mode. It works the same as the V3, but you have to navigate to Game Mode > Last Shot and tap the screen to start the measuring. Then when you reach the ball you can see the distance. If you forget to start the measuring - then you cannot recover. When in the GPS Track mode, all you have to do to measure last shot is press on the Club icon on the left center of the face after you reach the ball and it gives you the last shot distance (you don't have to remember to start the measurment). That is great - and much easier. So now I have two quick easy suggestions for the next improvement cycle: 1. Add a LS icon during GPS mode that is in the location where the Club icon is located during GPS Track mode (and not used since the club icon is not displayed in GPS only mode). This would allow quick easy access to start the Last Shot measuring during GPS mode. 2. Add a Subtract icon in GPS Track mode for the manual putting screen. It only has an Add icon. Sometimes it advances 2 strokes on it's own and sometimes when I hit the add icon - it actually adds 2 strokes. There is no easy way to subtract that unwanted stroke before hitting the pin collect icon. Not major issues but just recommendations for efficiency improvments. cksurfdude, CudaKota66, MIGregB and 1 other 4 Quote Tour Edge C721 Driver, Integra 45g L flex shaft BombTech 2 HW 16* BombTech 5 W Maltby KE4-Max 5 - PW, Recoil Dart 65 A flex shaft Maltby TSW-DRM 50*/54* wedges, Recoil Dart 75 R flex/spinner shaft Bettinardi Studio Stock #5 putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIGregB Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I've unfortunately had a new issue come up. My league plays just 9 holes so a few of us show up early and play 9 before that. I've done this before and had no issue with the X5 recording the initial 9, ending the game, then recording the other 9. Today, even though I had no issues tracking shot and keeping score, the 2nd 9 holes doesn't show up after syncing with the app. I thought maybe it just didn't sync but the "History" shows nothing; it's simply gone. This is getting really frustrating. cksurfdude, tony@CIC and CudaKota66 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.

GolfSpy_APH Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Love my range finder, but am missing shot tracking information and may be joining the shot scope crew soon. Is there one that is better bang for buck than others?

Just uploaded the new firmware - I'll be interested in how well the "scoring widget" works with the penalty feature for those rare () occasions I have one.
