I am always a bit annoyed when I see things like this.  I mean, when they first came out they were 'wonderful', and then we learned they were 'not so much'  My question is, since they were less than great before, how do we know they will be great now, with an increase in price?  I am fairly certain I will pass when my current subscription expires.

the bulk of my sensors are non-subscription required. Once those die out I’ll have a decision to make.

Same. My biggest complaint with ShotScope was the dashboard seemed lacking, but if they are addressing that....

I finally noticed the app updated with strokes gained per club had happened....

The biggest surprise to me is the improvement is Dr. I blame the Epic Speed with a proper shaft. At some point, I'll need to change the filter to early last year or the year before and see what kind of mess it was. It also tells me that it's been a wise decision to not hit 5i much and instead grip down on 4h - definitely need to address that gap in the bag.

I set the filter to all of 2020 and through May of last year (I don't recall exactly when the Epic test started, but pretty sure it was after May), so that data includes Bridgestone Driver (all of 2020) and M5 (2021).

Nothing seems dramatically different outside of the Dr. Maybe I'll go back and figure out when I actually put the Epic in play so I can compare Bridgestone, M5, and Epic.

I had my misgivings about how useful this analysis would be for people like us, but it seems that it might be at least helpful in seeing outliers (like 5i and 4h for me).

Just want to chuck my $0.02 into the conversation....

I recently upgraded to the ShotLink and placing in on the outside of the pocket, left side gave me amazing results. It missed TWO shots all round. When I went onto the dashboard I was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy in every shot in relation to the course. 

I also have to add that the sensors I currently use are arccos smart grips (tour velvet that I installed last year) 

New dashboard is great.... I have to say with the ShotLink my experience has been much more enjoyable and way way more accurate. 

Hope this helps.

I have had the Arccos System since last September. Recently I played a round using my Apple Watch for shot detection, and it worked perfectly.  I especially liked that I would get a slight vibration on the watch when it detected a shot, so I did not have to constantly check my phone.  Also, it did detect every shot, so I did not have to make any corrections either after the round or during.

I have a Galaxy Watch 4 and have really enjoyed the experience. When I know the course (so have a good idea of distance to trouble, etc.), I almost never take my phone out as the watch has everything I need. When playing a strange course, the satellite view still comes in handy.

Ordered a now have in hand the New Arccos Putter 3 sensor.

Tried it yesterday.  It worked great.  Its smaller so it doesn't snag in my golf bag as much as the old one.  Tracking was a bit better on counting putts and less ghost putts.  Used it with the Arccos Link.

So far so good.  Will report back if it keeps working well.

Hi Everyone.  I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the Arccos Link?  I currently use my phone in my left pocket as it updates the shots instantly.  I did not like the rounds using my apple watch as there was a lot of lag in the data appearing on my phone, making on course edits basically impossible.  I would be interested in the Link if everything was updated when I got back in my cart or to my bag to add putts, penalties, edits, etc.  Thanks for any help!

I’ve had mine since the beginning of the season.  I have not use the phone detection method, but I can tell you link works fine.  It tends to miss tap in putts but I can live with that.   In terms of updating the phone with shot data, I’ve always found it to be in sync by the time I get back to the cart.

Hey guys!  I just got a set of sensors, but when I went to "Activate Membership" and put in my payment information, it said "error in saving payment information."  Has anyone had experience with this issue?  I'm running off of a Samsung S22 ultra.

I had that same issue with my iPhone, I think I emailed them and got it sorted out.  Or chat can’t remember.

Glad to know it can be resolved!  I emailed their helpline as the app suggested

yeah initially I know I missed a bunch of tap-ins then I read somewhere that you really need to set the putter and be still for a second before putting.  since then even my tap-ins have been recorded.

Thanks for the tip!   Did I mention it misses gimmes too?

Can’t help you there.

you’ll have to manually add those in, but @Lacassem never gives me one anyway so it’s not an issue for me!

I finally got my new SM9 wedges from Wedgeworks and installed the remaining two smart grips to activate the membership.  Unlike @goaliewales14activation issues, my iPhone recognized the free membership at checkout.  Also, swapped out the included putter sensor with the updated P3 sensor.  The smaller P3 design fits better on my pistol style grip.

I am stoked to post rounds and check out my numbers.

I'm going to use my Apple Watch and keep my iPhone in the bag.  Is the watch tracking better than the phone?

Based on previous reviews, it seems that Arccos has worked better with Apple in the past vs Android.  I was finally able to get mine set up after about 3 calls to them.  They were very nice each time.

I think their customer service is excellent.  

I was trying to find a new course not in their system and they looked at it thoroughly and came back a few times to update me on what the delay was in getting the new updated course on their system.  

Totally went above and beyond a couple of times on various items. 

incidentally, the new putter sensor v3 is working like a charm.

My next set is going to require the grips with sensors installed.  The screw in type didn’t bother me before, but they are now.  I use all of the grip anyways… adding a failure point at the end of the grip has me using my clubs at + 3/4” or whatever the height/depth of the sensor is.  3 iron currently doesn’t have a sensor, but I can feel the difference in SW between it and the 4 by using the little extra on the 4 it is heavier.
