Arccos golf tracker review12/10/2023 It never seemed like a distraction though.Īccording to Arccos, they are activated by light. They are screwed into rubber grips so it’s normal that they loosen a little bit over time. Occasionally, I found myself tightening them a little before a shot, but not often. They stayed on pretty securely during the round. Some of you elite level players might, but for us mortals, these sensors are not going to affect your swing. I can honestly say I didn’t notice any difference in feel. I made sure to put on the sensors ahead of time and get at least one range session under my belt with them on the clubs. I was pleasantly surprised that the Arccos Caddie did not disrupt my game at all, even the first round out. Which means there was probably someone with an Arccos in one of the earlier groups that day. They do have a nice feature where it learns from anyone that set the hole position for a particular hole on that day, so I did notice that on a popular course, playing in the afternoon, most of the locations were accurate. For me, it did a good job of tracking where I hit each putt, but since the app can’t possibly know where the groundskeeper cut the hole that day, if you want accurate putting stats, you need to set the hole position. The one area that requires a little bit of manual work is on the putting green. So in the space of only a couple rounds, I’ve already improved my driving results because of the feedback. But if you check your ego, the information can help your game significantly.įor example, I noticed that when I miss hit my driver I lost 50+ yards, but if I throttled back just slightly and focused on solid contact, I hardly lost any yardage compared to my more aggressive swings. Current model phones are going to get it right down to a range of a yard or two.įair warning though, this kind of accurate feedback on distances can be sobering for the average golfer. The accuracy of the tracking is dependent on the accuracy of your smartphone. For the first few holes, I would check it on every shot just to see if it worked (it did) but then as my first round progressed, I scaled back to looking at my device only between holes. So the fact that the Arccos Caddie didn’t miss any of my shots over a few rounds of golf was very satisfying. I have used manual shot trackers in the past that required you to get out your device and set the club that you were using on every shot and with those I never finished a round where I remembered to track every single shot. So all this sounds awesome, but if it doesn’t work then who cares, right? But Arccos fixed that recently with the addition of the new Caddie Link (more on that below too). The part that I didn’t like is that you need to have your phone in your pocket in order for each shot to register. The good news is that you just have to download a course once, so if you play the same course regularly, then you’ll be all set. This also means that the Arccos Caddie works fine even if you don’t have any cell service. I would suggest doing that ahead of time so you don’t get stuck out on the course with spotty service trying to download it. When you are ready for your round, you need to download the course map for the course you are playing. The entire pairing process took me about 10 minutes. You need to go through this process so that it knows which sensors belong to which clubs. Once you have your account set up, it walks you through pairing the app with each of the sensors on your clubs. Then you download the Arccos app to your smartphone and set up an account with Arccos (more on the app later). To set up the Arccos Caddie you need to screw one of the sensors into each of your clubs (including one specifically designed for your putter).

The Arccos Caddie is an excellent tool that gives you the kind of shot by shot data that previously was only available for top level pros and it does so in a way that doesn’t distract you from your game. I had the opportunity to play a few rounds with it before writing this and I am impressed with the accuracy and ease of use as well as the information and game analytics that the Arccos app gives you after the round. Arccos Caddie is the 3rd generation of the Arccos shot tracking system and I have to say that this version is excellent.
