You guys are missing the most important part of the new update: objective, measured data that justifies to your wife why you have to replace your three wood.

I need a new one look its costing me 3 strokes around, how could I not replace that.

The key is that you have to have at least one club that is a real outlier. If all your clubs are equally bad, that's no bueno. There has to be one that you can point to and say, "See, this is the one that's clearly holding my game back!"

“why the **** do you keep trying to hit your 3 wood out of the rough?!?!?”

Hopefully my wife doesn't dig that deep into my golf game... I can only deal with one of us questioning why I play! hahaha

She would be raising a good point though wouldn't she? 

I wonder how many of us are going to have to go... "Yeah I guess going for that flop shot is only working out 30% of the time.  Maybe I should try a bump and run more often."  Or you know... buy a new lob wedge!

Over the last two years I’ve made significant changes to my club make-up as a result of Arccos Data.  

Most recently I replaced my 6 hybrid with a 5 iron.  Arccos data was showing that my GIR statistics with the 6 hybrid were low.

The 6 hybrid was only capable of hitting very high floaty shots.   These type of shots were highly susceptible to wind blowing them offline or coming up short.   It was the only cub in my bag where misses were predominately to the right.

The 5 iron is more versatile for me.  I can still hit it high off the tee to hold a par 3 green, but I can also hit low shots to flight it down if there is wind.  It is much better for the occasional punch shot under trees that the 6 hybrid wasn’t capable of.

I am hoping the new Arccos update will make it easier to take extra clubs so we can do comparisons of a hybrid vs a driving iron during the same round.

I am thinking that on certain windy days taking a driving iron shot is better than a hybrid for me, but I think Arccos SG will prove that to be true or a myth.

Downloaded the update today which includes strokes gained by club.

Here’s a look at mine (versus 0 handicap players):

I’m surprised a bit, I expected my numbers to get worse as the clubs got longer, in the irons anyway.

There’s still not as much as I’d like to see in here, but it’s a start for Arccos.

Selecting a club reveals some club stats, but I’d love to know where I’m losing -0.4 strokes.  They have some green, red, and gray shading and text, so I think that is what it’s supposed to represent but it would be great to see like TEE, APPROACH, CHIPPING scores for each club too.  

NOT surprised by the 60* numbers much.  I tend to use it only when I have to, which tends to be riskier shots.  Still, it will get looked into.

Also checked, and it does refresh given you select a different handicap to compare yourself against on the main player page.

Here’s me against other 6 handicaps:

Interesting info here. Not sure it is actionable. Here is mine compared to Tour. I will assume that there will be players with more identifiable strengths or weaknesses but not me. Basically just practice every club. 

 

Side note: I haven't used Arccos is 18 months however I have tracked over 20k shots so data is sizeable and not much has changed with my game.

Yeah I think it shows that my equipment is generally not the problem. And it’s my overall game that needs work. 
 

talk about a gut punch.

Is that update IOS? Just check and don't have that update on Samsung/Andriod.

I've got Android as well, I checked a week or two ago and didn't have the new update but just logged on this morning and it's there now. Maybe check your app store to see if there's an available update? Or maybe they're rolling it out in groups somehow.

Before I paid attention to the actual numbers, I would have suggested throwing the 60* in a lake just because its bar is quite a bit bigger.

Arccos introduced a new putter sensor.  Ordered it.  There is a current discount on for Arccos members, so I ordered two to try out.  Will report back when it arrives.  If anyone has already tried it, I would be curious to hear if its any better than the prior versions.

The older version stuck out from my putter grip, so I did end up losing it during the round when it got stuck in my bag, so hopefully this tracks putts better.

• Twist-In - P3 Putter: for use with Putter only (NEW - 42% Smaller, 21% lighter and better design for pistol grips)

I do remember when I was using a Scotty Cameron and the Pistolero grip that the sides of the sensor were a touch wider than the grip.  This seems like a solution to a problem lots of people have mentioned in the past!  Not a problem for me currently with the SNSR Contour grip, but I'm still looking forward to your thoughts and some photos about it.  I imagine this will end up being their standard down the road.

Well that didn't take long! 

The new putter sensor is included as well as the first year of membership.

[MattF]

With an increased subscription price to $156. Kind of glad I got Shot Scope.

Is this that much of an improvement? with the increased cost i might not go back. Is the detection now better? Are the metrics better than Shotscope?

Yeah that’s a big jump from $99. 
 

the bulk of my sensors are non-subscription required. Once those die out I’ll have a decision to make. It seems that arccos is a step ahead in most fronts in the app side, but shot scope gets better and better with each revision.

And there's an update to the dashboard coming out soon that apparently is pretty bloody good.
