I do try and mark my first putt while standing over it and for the most part the putts do show up correctly.  Sometimes not though.

My one and only ‘F’ was in a statistics course in college, I’m not a lover 

It’s not for everyone for sure, that’s why we can let them so do the work.

I had an issue with the clock feature V3- the watch was 20 min behind even though it was fully charged. Once I sync'd it to the app, the time was updated. Not sure why it happened and support didn't answer why, they just said to sync it.

When I played on Tuesday I noticed the time was off by an hour.  Figured it had something to do with daylight savings time and didn’t worry about it.  Now that you’ve said this, I ran upstairs and checked the time on the watch.

Just like support said, sync and the time is back to normal.

Yup - I sync'd with the app after the time change. What I was concerned about was the 30 min discrepancy  on the fully charged watch. I just checked on it this morning and the same issue. Now it's about 15 min off. Going to send another email to support.

I have not checked recently (since our season is over), but recall that the shots gained functionality was not available on both PC and mobile.  Are there plans to address this?

Yes we are working to add Strokes Gained to the Web Dashboard and have a new update for that prior to next season.

Gavin,

Nice to see you here. If you follow this thread from the beginning as well as the ARRCOS vs. Shotscope thread I think you'll find lots of great ideas for upcoming versions. A few recommendations/questions.

- I have 2 sets of clubs - one in Florida (with SS tags) the other in Ohio. (no tags). Since I primarily use the app, given I don't want to clutter up the screen, should I just buy a second set of tags amd set up 2 different accounts? 

- I'd like to have the ability to enlarge the labels along with the zoom feature for individual holes. 

- Is there a way to export the data to a program like excel?

Thx

Hey Tony, 

You could set up a second account with another set of tags, or presuming you are in one place for a period of time, set up your bag and then switch active bag when you move location. We are looking at how to improve this feature as we realize this is an issue for some users. 

I am not sure what you mean by labels? Labels on the shot?

There isn't mainly because we calculate on the fly all of your data, which allows us to always optimize our course mapping, so it would be extremely difficult to export.

yup =  labels for the shots/clubs. When you enlarge the hole - the label currently stays the same size treadles if you maximize or minimize the hole overview.  

 

Also do you automatically push firmware and App versions? It would be nice to know if we're running the current versions for both.

Thx\

Tony will feed the labels back to our dev team. 

We do automatically push versions, but here are the latest:

iOS app - 2.9.17
Android app - 3.8.0
V3 Firmware - 2.4.0

Alright shot scope users, I have read the reviews from the testing earlier this year and I think I am in. Just want to detail my current process as it is incredibly cumbersome and would hopefully be remedied by SS V3. 

Currently, during a round, I run "golfshot" which is an overhead GPS app on my phone. For every shot, I screenshot the distances on the phone so that I know how far out I am etc. Obviously GPS apps are useless once you get to the green so from there I walk off distances for putts and write those down on my scorecard for Strokes Gained Putting. Golfshot keeps track of my score, GIR, putt number, fairways hit but, at times, the GPS is like 20 yards off from where I actually am. And, no, surprisingly, I don't take 5 hours to play a round of golf. 

I love keeping data on all my rounds so Shot Scope seems like a homerun. It seems like the main hiccup people are running into is tagging putts and having the putting screen come up when they get close to the green. Also, there is always the chance of a missed shot as well but I imagine you wouldn't know that you missed a shot until after the round in the analysis mode?

Sounds like you have a fairly cumbersome process. Yes on occasion the watch thinks it's on the green when I'm hitting from greenside rough , but that's easily correctable. There were a few posts here on how to move the watch off the green (note this generally happens because I'm walking across the green to get to the rough). As to putting, there are quite a few members that have switched to manual putt mode. I'm not one of them. I found the auto setting works for me. And lastly. yes on occasion it'll miss a shot - but not that often and is easily correctable in the 'edit' mode either on your phone or desktop dashboard. At my age they say memory is the first thing to go - but I still remember all of my shots when I get home from a round. Of course if I waited several days, maybe not, but the app showing a 350 yd drive might be a dead giveaway. 

Not sure if Practical Golf's Black Friday special is still on - it's a heck of a deal.

Two other questions. What if you start on the back 9 on a course, is it easy to bounce through the first 9 holes or does the watch automatically realize where you are on the course?

How does the watch do if you just play 9 holes? I play 9 holes about 40% of the time, will that screw up my strokes gained?

It is very quick and easy to switch holes if you start on the back 9. I haven't had it recognize that I'm starting on 10 and automatically adjust, but it only takes 5 seconds to change the hole to 10, so no biggie.

 

as for 9 hole data, it handles it just fine. I've played many many 9 hole rounds with it and it works just as you would expect.

[tony@CIC]

As @Thin2winmentioned, it's pretty easy - just scroll to the hole you're starting on. FYI, our #1 was recently closed because they were redoing the bunkers, so I just scrolled to #2 as the starting hole. However, pay attention when you're done on #18 and scroll to #1 otherwise you'll get an end round message. 

Also I don't use the stokes gained feature at this point, so can't comment on it.

I love the functionality of the Shotscope.  My biggest complaint is that it's not waterproof.  I lost one watch to forgetting to take it off before showering.  I lost another to playing in the rain one round.  This makes dependability an issue, keeps it from being worry free, and from being my everyday watch.  Now, I just have to keep it in the golf bag to use when I play so that it doesn't mess up.  Make it waterproof and the battery longer lasting, and it will be perfect.

I wanted to give an update to my experience with the V3 that I reported previously.  I had 3 V3's to malfunction, none lasting more than a month.  1 due to showering, 1 due to a little rain, and a third due to dropping it onto a hardwood floor while trying to put it on - not a very hard fall, but it cracked the casing and quit working.  Shotscope customer service replaced all three of these for free.  The fourth watch has been night-and-day different in its durability.  I've had it for about 5 months now, wearing it every day, playing lots of rounds, some in rainy conditions, have dropped it on the floor a few times.  There have been zero issues at all.  This one seems very durable.  I have no idea why my experience with these watches was so different, can't explain it, but just wanted to relay it.  Maybe the fourth watch was just better-made, maybe I had the extreme coincidence of the first 3 being duds, maybe it's all just a big fluke.  All things considered, I'm pleased with Shotscope customer service and am overall pleased with the watch and will keep using it.

Can anyone recall off hand if there is more than 1 hybrid tag? I can't remember if there was an I lost one or not. I had to put the X1 tag in my new weapon.

No, not in the 16 tag set .. only "H1".

If you're not using a 4i you could re-use that one in a hybrid; otherwise the X tag as you've done.

FYI, V1 came with 20 tags. Not sure if you can order more "H" tags from ShotScope..?

Thanks mate, that's what I thought but wanted the confirmation. I put a 2 hybrid in the bag so the 4i tag won't work.

I looked at the SS site and they only sell the tags as a full set or putter tags. No big deal.

[Larryw]

You might reach out to people that have upgraded from V2 to V3. They have several tags (3i, H2, X3, X4) that they may not be using and willing to give (or sell) to you.

They will work with the V3 system. Put one in a club and then use that club in a round and the tag should then appear in your "MyBag" area where you can change the club specifics to match the club you used.

Why won't the 4i tag work?  I thought any tag could be used for any club.

It can, but I've got CDO (OCD with the letters in the correct order) and it's already attached to a 4 iron.

[JerryB]

Fair enough.  Would be great if I could get, like, a hundred tags (and mark them as I see fit) for use in a wide variety of clubs.

I'm on board with that!

[fozcycle]

I use the X1 on my 5W and the X2 on my 7W. The 4i is used on a backup driver as I don’t us a 4 iron.

[tony@CIC]

Ran into an interesting situation today. As background, I just joined our onsite course which is 27 holes. However, each of the nines has a different course name, Ibis, Osprey and Falcon. We played the Ibis and Osprey courses in men's league this morning - a shotgun start (I started on #5). No problem setting up my V3 to start on 5, however when I finished 9, it asked if I was ending the round. It quickly dawned on me that I needed to restart for the next 9 (vs thinking that I'm on hole 10). Now we finish the next 9 and time to finish holes 1-4 from this morning so I ended the round and restarted the V3. The end result is now I have 3 'events' on the watch/dashboard. Is there a way to combine the start (5-9) with the finish (1-4)so I've captured 2 complete 9's? Or do I just deal with the 3 events? 

Also I was playing around with the performance section of the watch tonight, and looked at the longest short for my driver - something I neglected to correct since it captured a drive of almost 300 yds. When I clicked on that stat it took me the shot. Unfortunately I don't remember the round from 2021 so couldn't correct it - however, it is neat that I can go to that shot via the performance 'longest shot' versus having to scroll through all the rounds to find the outlier. 

 

[JerryB]

Had a similar issue last season.  I played the front nine and we stopped at the turn to grab a bite.  I forgot to pause the round.  When I came back roughly a half hour later it had ended the round (due to inactivity if I remember) and I had to start a new one for the back nine.  Couldn't combine them after the fact.  I think you're stuck with three events.
