For arccos users, has anyone had problems with grip sensors dying alot? not the screw in ones but the actual embedded in the grip sensors?

 

thanks

I can't speak to comparison, but I used ShotScope most of last year. The sensors and tracking seem very accurate. By being able to go in and edit the rounds you can correct some shots that were mistracked, which does happen. But, if you remember to select your putts on the green in real time it is accurate. I've been happy with the system, and if nothing else its not a bad deal for just the GPS watch.

As a brand new user of V3 and the corresponding Shotscope  'dashboard' , I thought there would be some value to a thread dedicated to this technology. Tips and tricks along with a thread for members to ask questions. I know of at least 3 users here; @MattF, @fozcycle, @revkev, any others? 

A question for you expert users - any way to import a pic of a specific hole (from dashboard) without having to use 3rd party software like 'Paint 3D' ?

Thanks for starting this thread. I have a replacement V3 on the way. I had only used mine for a couple of rounds before it developed a crack in the case, so I am very much a newbie. I look forward to sharing tips.

I’m using V3 mostly for GPS convenience, since PING and Arccos teamed to offer a free set of screw-in tags based on only my purchase and registration of a lightly used G400  driver.  My G425  Driver/7W/4H have Arccos grips.  While Arccos offers better long range data collection to help me lower my average score, my V3 is THE most convenient way to get my distance to front/ center/back of green.

I've been a V3 user now for a couple months. I was using Hole19, and while it gave similar data, it was very cumbersome waiting to update my location on the fairway, then club choice. Love the freedom SS gives of just playing. 

Have not had the need to import pix of holes, so I can't help there. 

I have noticed on one of my courses they have a P5 and a P4 swapped. Need to shoot that off to support and see what they need to update. 

Look forward to hearing tips, and hopefully providing some of my own.

Been using shotscope for a few years, started with v1 and still using v2, new dashboard with shots gained against similar hcp is very useful. Along with other stats it highlights areas of strength and those you need to work on. Always found they are very helpful when responding to requests. Sorry can't help with original question, I've always taken screenshot

Nelson, Hogan, Snead, Ouimet and the rest of the men who turned this game in to what it is today are turning over in their graves.

I did email support once when I found an outdated hole, but they said they couldn't do anything since they had to wait for Google maps to update.

I update my round on my iPad then take snapshot of the hole, then edit by cutting the extra stuff out, then save it to my photos. That works pretty well with no extra software.

I have a shotscope V2 and V3 for sale if anyone is interested.

I have used V3 for a year.  Over the winter I bought the enhanced Power Sense Strap, and the watch now captures 100% of my shots. I used to have to double check after each stroke to make sure the shot was recorded. If not, I would slam the club against the golf cart tire to make sure a shot was recorded. It's so reliable I never have to double check now.  Sometimes, if I think I mis-counted strokes, I know V3 will capture each shot and let me know at the end of the round

I add penalty strokes when comparing my card to Shot Scope on my computer after a round.   I haven't figured out where my round recap on the dashboard displays penalty strokes -  anyone have a clue?

Just updated from V1 to v3 and having issues trying to get it to work. Downloaded all my courses still says nothing within one Kilometer. Sent request to support desk.

So you don’t think they’d use any advantage available to them. 
 

We have a pro at our club who was a young player on tour when Hogan was a veteran.  There weren’t always ranges at the courses used or even when there were they weren’t very good and guys needed to bring there own balls.

 

He told me that Hogan would find an off sight range, warm up there and show up in time to roll a few putts before his tee time.

 

i suspect that any of those guys would gladly have taken advantage of anything that the rules allowed if it would improve their game.

 

And this is from someone who grew up playing when courses didn’t have ranges, very few had yardage markers and my set only had odd numbered clubs. I loved the game then and love it now.

 

@Tony thanks for starting this thread. It’s been a while but as I recall it I would screen shot whatever I wanted from shot scope and then it was easy to post. I used it for my review in the Ping Long game thread. 
 

Looking forward to getting home and putting my new V3 in.

I share screenshots of select holes from my phone. On Android there are some nice default editing features to clean up the top and bottom  bars. I have included both edited and unedited shots. 

I use my V3 mostly for the GPS and measurements of club distances. I am 69 years old and play to a 20. I will use more features as I improve. 

Great thread!

And why didn't I think of that!. . That's an easy solution.

Do tell us more - I don't see it in their accessories page. https://shotscope.com/us/products/accessories/

Used mine for the first time on Saturday, it missed a few shots, and several holes are out of date. I've emailed support, hopefully they can update it.  I need to work out how to edit and have a play.

I have used Shot scope for years now.  The V3 is a great improvement in shot capture and wearability.  I have some issues with the strap flapping lose because the small plastic fastener doesn't really lock it down and it can catch on clothes and pop free. Other than that I love the device.  It is very good at capturing the shots.  Much better than V2.  The GPS yardages are accurate.  I have had several issues where I had to contact support due to map variations and they corrected the issues very quickly.  They use Google to map their courses so if Google hasn't taken new photos of a course layout change then they can't upgrade the course map.  I also had some issues where Google took the course photos very early in the morning resulting in long shadows that obscured some of course features such as the exact outline of sand traps or greens. So sometimes the Shotscope will indicate you are in a sand trap or on the green when you are just very close.  This is easily corrected in the dashboard when you verify your round.  

I find the info I get to be invaluable for understanding my game and enjoyable for seeing improvements in overall performance.  The thing I seem to have the most trouble with is capturing the pin position after I putt out.  Find myself walking back onto the green and getting pin position more than once or twice a round.  One thing I have mentioned to support is to indicate in the post round verification whether a pin has been captured or not by changing the pin color.  For instance, red indicating a pin you have captured and blue indicating a pin you forgot to capture.  They liked the idea and perhaps we'll see that in a future update.

You also begin to get real about some facts in your golf game.  How far you really hit your drives, how often you get up and down, how often you hit the fairway or greens in regulation.  i also enjoy the little medals they give you for achievements, like low score (breaking, 80, 75, 70 etc), birdies in a row, pars in a row, low putts, etc.  As you accumulate medals it becomes harder and harder to get one so it is a pleasant surprise to find you have earned one.  

I started with Game golf years ago and switched to Shotscope because you didn't have to tap your club and you got the GPS function as well.  It is incredible to me that you get a GPS watch with shot tracking for less than the price of other GPS only watches.  Quite a bargain if you ask me.

[Peaksy68]

Worked out how to edit. Need to get used to checking the shot registered and making the pin collect more automatic. Hope I’ll get quicker at editing and have less errors to correct once I get used to wearing it.
