Thanks Phil - that’s what happened for me after the first reset/ update cycle. So do you factory reset after firmware updates as well? I have never had the need to do so after years of assorted technology firmware upgrades, but some of the comments in this thread refer to the factory reset in a way that makes its sound like a standard practice x5 users do as standard. i appreciate the support from everyone in this journey - it takes a village (it seems) and this is a really nice village to be a part of Edited July 7, 2023 by golferguy2727 Typos as usual sellemental, cksurfdude, PhilM75072 and 2 others 5 Quote Titleist T300 (2022) 5-PW, W48, W53 plus Taylormade Full Face 56 SW Current driver Titleist TSi3 Hybrids Titleist 818 19 H2 23 H2 Gamer Putter Nike Method Matters B1-07 Ball Titleist Tour Speed / Taylormade Tour Response Bag is Titleist Linksmaster Pushcart is Kaddey Rangefinder is Voice Caddie SL2 Shotscope club tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCGOLFNUT Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I got the V3 because I hate paying annual subscriptions. I used Game Golf before they kinda went belly up. I like the watch and the tags, although I'd prefer a system that easily and without extra cost integrated with my Apple watch... I've seen lots of posts about people that have issues with finding a course, or missing shots. I've fortunately not had any issues with finding a course. Of course it misses a few shots a round, but rarely more than 4 or 5 and it doesn't take me more than 10 minutes to edit my round. I use The Grint to track score and statistics during the round and simply compare when editing. I find the statistics to be just right. I mainly use it for the club distances and it has helped me tremendously in pulling the right club for the upcoming shot. Also very useful information for putting, (60% miss short) but I haven't fully integrated that in game yet.

StrokerAce Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I use a v3 watch and bought a set of the newer tags and put them on my clubs. The watch distances typically line up with my laser but the shot tracking seems to be about 80% accurate. LOL For some reason it has me hitting my tee shot backwards to the driving range, chipping out from the range again and then hitting a driver onto the green. In actuality I hit a 3w about 240, PW to the left of the green, chipped on and 2 putt; I didn't even take my driver out of the bag... WTH? and another one!

I don't know that Shot Scope introducing the G5, which obviously benefited from the X5 experience and feedback, is anything to be upset about. It should have been anticipated, given the V3 had the companion G3. Certainly, there were more issues with the X5 than Shot Scope anticipated, but there were issues with the V3 when it first came out, too. I'm also of the opinion that what led to some of the issues were adding features that everyone seemed to complain were lacking with the V3, such as "steps" and "scoring", and maybe even the idea of a touch screen like many other watches. I think the critical thing to consider is not the fact that there were issues, but how Shot Scope responded to them. They had to be as frustrated with the problems as we as users were. My X5, since the 2.1.13 firmware update, and after doing a "factory reset", has been rock solid. Could Shot Scope have done a better job testing the X5 before final release? Of course, but that is hindsight. We don't know what possible constraints or delays in releasing the X5 were put upon them by their suppliers, necessitating release without the benefit of prolonged testing.

I commented a couple of pages back that I thought with some careful planning, one could get 36 holes of battery life. Today, I don't think that's easily done. My last round was played in 1 hr 50 mins on the front nine, a 45-minute period between where the X5 was on watch mode only, then the back nine taking 2hrs 10 minutes. The battery was at 44%. The course is heavily wooded and there were occasional thick clouds which, I think, causes the X5 to work harder to maintain a connection. But those aren't conditions over which I have any control and the X5 should be better at performing in those kinds of routine conditions. I think they need to take their statement, "Long battery life in golf mode lasting over 2 rounds" out of the product description as I'm willing to bet that 2 rounds of life is the exception rather than the rule. They have enough challenges without setting up unreasonable expectations for prospective buyers.

At my age, I am past the point where I would even attempt to play 36 holes. I just wonder if, as the battery life gets really low, if it may go into a "low power" mode. I would hate to suggest trying to get in a 2nd 18 with less than 50% battery life remaining, especially if it didn't make it, screwing up data collection for that 2nd round. However, that may be the only way to see if it can be done. I just wonder if some of the added features (compared to the V3) that people complained were lacking, such as steps and maybe even the green screen, touch screen, scoring, etc., haven't been behind some of the issues as well as the drain on battery life.

This way I can compare the data for different configurations. Now I would have to have multiples of the same club name just with different colors in my bag.

You can select a totally different club type - one that you will never use otherwise. But you still have to remember which shaft is which club - that is the same as remembering which shaft is which color. After a few different shafts it is not easily done.

Supply chain constraints disrupted their entire schedule & unforeseen software issues added another layer of trouble (may I suggest MGS beta testers?). Coming from an automotive/appliance engineering career, I get it. In related news: I declined being a SwingU app tester - too many distractions in life (at the time) to devote the time/attention required of an MGS tester. My affair with Arccos is coming to an end. I learned/reconfirmed (a) an annual subscription is dumb when I'm waiting-out a rainstorm -or eventual snow - in Indiana, (b) while the Caddie feature is nice, I've been playing long enough to know my yardages & I'll hit what I want to hit when I want to hit it, (c) the analytics are a little overkill for a weekend player that makes a living as a Lab Engineer rather than as Tour member, and (d) an annual subscription is dumb edited for redundancy My X5 is on the charger & I will do a 'factory reset' as @PhilM75072suggests Oh! Last but not certainly never least, my fiancée & I chose to elope & have a long-weekend honeymoon. I'm told by @GolfSpy_APH there is a 'Better Half' forum so I'll get my best half posted soon My wedding gift to her? A beginner set of clubs & a package of lessons Life is simple when you let it be.

And I get to resume my regularly-scheduled golf programming Hit it long & roll it in! Some thoughts: - Shot Scope does an event with a group of guys from another forum that, I guess, could count as beta testing. The group isn't large enough, perhaps. - A "Caddie" feature sounds great, but averages aren't the best indicator of what to hit. Averages can be skewed by how and when certain clubs are hit. Everything that might affect a shot can't be determined by an app, actual lie (sitting up/down), moisture (dry vs wet), just to name a couple. - Congratulations on the wedding! May you both live long, happy, prosperous lives together!

jonzo88 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hi All, I recently got back to my golf after awhile away due to not having time to commit to my club membership. I recently (start of the year) decided to get the Shot Scope V3 watch and tracking tags. After using it for good few months now its been brilliant. Not for giving my yardage for each club (as I do that while i practice at the range) but for easy of use on the course and getting general range to the greens. Given that and considering how cheap it was i cant knock it. As some of you say being the average golfer and not a tour member its great for what we need and not extra subscription makes its another fantastic purchase for myself.

A warm welcome to MGS from across the pond. Glad you're enjoying the V3, there are quite a few members here with a solid knowledge of the V3 in case you have a question. jonzo88, CudaKota66 and cksurfdude 3 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
