Today I did some practicing which included pitch shots and bunker practice with my SW. While in the bunker, I discovered the sensor which had snapped off so I'm looking for suggestions what is the best glue to use to reattach it to the grip (of course the screw section is still in the grip hole)?

Editorial comment: while I love Shot Scope's products overall, it is pretty disappointing that the sensor should snap off like this after about 18-months of use. I do not abuse my clubs and my Wingman wedge is only the third club that it has been installed in.

Interesting - I've used the sensors for the past 3 years and none have snapped. One quick way to save it is to use either rubber cement or instant glue - both will adhere to your grip but it's a permanent fix so you won't be able to use it on another club. An alternative approach is to use one of the spare sensors but keep in mind that you'll have 2 sets of data for that club - one with the old sensor and one with the new one. 

EDIT:

I neglected to mention that I did order a spare set of sensors a couple of years ago, not because of broken sensors, but my original set had worn down from the constant use (pounding in my bag - I play 150+ rounds a year). The spare set is in reserve, however, even since I installed the silicone/clear cushioning pad I have not encountered any wear.

Double sided tape like they recommend when you have a superstroke grip.  

[BobBC78]

Thanks for the suggestions. The double sided tape sounds like a good idea.

This is actually the second sensor I've had break. The first one happened when I went to unscrew it from a Garsen Ultimate grip and broke it off. I have no idea how todays happened. I was working on my sand game in the practice bunker, and noticed that the sensor itself was lying in the sand.

I had 2 snap this year as well, with  no clear reason why.  If you haven't all ready, I would suggest contacting support about them.  In my case, they sent replacement sensors at no cost.

You can move tags around, use alternates, etc., and the data is tied to the club, not the tag that is used. You only get two  (or more) sets of data when you create another club, say change from a Callaway SW to a Vokey, or even a completely different set of irons. Also, tags will last longer if you use self-stick furniture pads or glass table-top bumpers to protect them from wearing while rubbing on the bottom of the bag. For putters that have backweights, I used rubber cement glue dots and crisscross electrical tape over them. None of these, the furniture pads, table-top bumpers or tape, seems to negatively affect the tags from being sensed.

It's been a while since I've posted here even though I try to keep up with the content. But I've just run into an anomaly that I can't figure out and I'm hoping one of you have a suggestion. I'm testing out the new Vokey SM10 wedges and just got to the point where I've put them into play yesterday. I added the GW, SW, and LW sensors to the 52, 56 & 60 wedges respectively, added the new club description to "My Bag", and played 9 holes yesterday. I edited and signed off on the round where I counted in the hole-by-hole function that I used the 56 degree SW a total of five times. But that club does not show up in most of the Performance stats. Not the Club Distances (either active or all clubs nor PA, Avg or Longest nor for any number of rounds) and not the Approaches stats. It does show up in the Short Game stats.  I know I'm probably having a brain freeze and the answer is staring me in the face, but does anyone have any thoughts on why it's not showing up everywhere?

[MIGregB]

Oh, oh. I just re-read back a couple of posts and see that @PhilM75072 and @tony@CIC have talked about two sets of data for each club. Does that mean the 2 most recent sets of data? Or is that two total?

My guess is that you didn’t hit the club more than 50 yards so it is only in the short game stats area.  Approaches are 50 yards plus.   Club distance data would be desired only for full swing shots.

Ah, that makes complete sense! I don't think any of the shots were longer than 50 yards. Thank you!!!

Over the years since starting to ue Shot Scope devices, I have used 8 different putters, Each shows up with its own color, though colors repeat after 5 of the same club. You can have as many sets of irons, as many drivers, etc., and provided you created them as different clubs in MyBag, and made them active for the round you are playing, the data collected will be unique to those clubs for club specific data. Following is a screen capture of all the extra putters in MyBag. Also, during this time, I have only used two sets of irons and another screen capture shows how the data for the 5i from each set, for example, is displayed.

I always thought any club data over time should show, but the couple of posts before my 1st one confused me a bit. Thank you for the clarification!

I must be the "lucky one" - First V5 the one of the buttons would not work very well.  Got a replacement in about a week.

Now my V5 has shutoff & will not power back on.  Played 9 holes yesterday, went into clubhouse while I waited for my buddies to arrive at course to play 9 with them.  Get to the first tee with them & watch is black.  OK that is weird, tried turning it back on, no dice.

Charged overnight so it should be fully charged.  Charged again last night and still will not fire up.

Question for anyone also using Connex tags. Have any of you been able to log a full 18 holes with zero tag issues? I have 20 rounds logged and zero have had all shots recorded correctly. It isn’t that I mind adding a shot or two after the fact but a normal 18 hole round I have to add like 8-9 strokes. Most are putts because the process for logging a putt is slow and delays play of others which is really annoying. Is this just “normal” for Connex users? So far I haven’t been real impressed with comments about the watch bands for the V5.

In coming from Game Golf to Shot Scope, I tried Golf Pad in the interim, which uses the phone like Connex. I could never keep my phone in the NFC mode, always having to take it out of my pocket to re-enable it. It didn’t take long for the frustration to set in, so I started with Shot Scope's V3 and upgraded to the X5. I experienced the early issues, but after a couple of firmware updates and learning how to do a factory rest, my X5 works practically flawlessly.

The only issues I encounter have to do with putting, also. I use the Manual mode and sometimes when marking the location of a tap in it will register more than one putt (easy enough to delete in editing), or I tap too close to the Flag icon marking the hole and the last putt gets missed (again, easy enough to add during editing). I rarely have a missed shot unless I grip the club with the tag too far away to be recognized and/or don't take a practice swing. Maybe I am just one of the lucky ones when it comes to using the watches.

I would add that virtually all of my missed shots are putts, mostly tap ins, as a result of not wanting to delay others while they are putting. On a rare occasion I’ll forget to set the pin but it’s not often enough to make me that frustrated. More curious as to how many putts are you typically having to add/correct after the round and if it’s similar to my experience with Connex.

Between additions and deletions, maybe three or so, if that. If I don't get "quick" at the hole marking those short tap-ins, then it is unusual I have to add or subtract any.

Thanks for this. I really love the data but I’m just annoyed at the mechanics of logging clubs with my cell phone.

I mostly move putts and pins.  Commercial GPS simply isn't that accurate and when I have tap ins where I walk up and tap the ball in, the GPS probably doesn't have time to completely update to the new location.   This IMO would be a problem with any shot tracking system.

I would agree with that. I find myself skipping the putt and just marking the pin if it’s a simple tap in and adding the putt later. Might be overthinking it but also worried my strokes gained for putting could be thrown off if I’m not accurate enough on tagging the shorter putts. But maybe the inaccuracy isn’t enough to make a significant difference?

It will;  you would have to track the putt distances and make sure to set them correctly.

I would have to say 99% of my edits, what there are of them, are this, moving either the pin or putt locations.
