Super interested in something like this to track my improvement , had a look at some of those tags that screw into the handle but not convinced I wouldn't lose one

Being that all the tech to the app is in the sensor, I would bet it would work on another driver, after all, Arccos was meant to be moved from club to club and still be useable.
Also, Arccos did release a driver only version, our very own Canadan reviewed it on the homepage.
Very cool idea but i am a little skeptical. I love the F7 driver and am looking to get one if i can. If the tech is gimmicky or you dont want it, can the driver be purchased without?

Honestly, it's something that would not be noticed at all. The only reasons I can think of for removing this is in case you use another system like GameGolf that needs a different device be attached on the grip end or simply prefer another grip. Cobra Connect is not noticeable in the least; it's the most discreet sensor on the market BY FAR.
Is there a major difference in the Cobra Connect version vs. regular Arccos?
I'm also curious to see feedback on what you guys think about playing with the phone in your pocket. That's one thing I'm not very excited for. I have a pretty large phone and it seems like that could be annoying.
What happens when you change grips? Is it easy to reinstall the tracker?
Reached out to Arccos on the Cobra Connect since I have the original version and I was wondering how it works, they said I can add another club and pair it and use the other shaft/sensor for something else.
Pretty happy about that, I think it will be strange with the original sensors on most of my clubs and the new sensor on the driver shaft.
I'm curious how the Cobra Connect social aspect works in tandem with the regular system. Looking forward to trying this out on Saturday.
Had the opportunity to get this out yesterday for the maiden voyage.
It was in the low 40s
I used the Cobra Connect for the front 9 with the fujikura xlr8 and the 12g weight in the back for high trajectory.
At the turn I switched shafts out for the MFS White Tie that I'm testing and my regular Arccos Units.
I was having trouble pairing sensors to each app. I wanted to be able to use the Cobra Connect for the entire round, but the difficulty pairing was something I hadn't seen with Arccos sensors before.
My longest drive on the front 9 was 249 yards "Smart distance" (basically average distance on all of the drivers discounting outliers) was 237 yards, my driving handicap was bad at 30+ as I went 2/6 FIR with 1 missed left and 4 missed right.
On the back 9 distance wasn't that great, as I said we were fighting the wind for a lot of the day. My Smart Distance on the back was 220 yards, my longest drive on the back was 234. My FIRs on the back was 2 I missed 3 right and 2 left.
So my biggest struggle was accuracy. The course is a pretty wide open course and the fairways forgiving, so to have some of the misses I did was a bit frustrating.
spent with this I'm confidant though, that with the right shaft and some solid range time this will be the driver that I game this year.
Any questions, let me know.
I've been reading / researching. Here's what I think I've found so far.Is there a major difference in the Cobra Connect version vs. regular Arccos?
Have 2 more rounds under my belt. There are some pluses on this device -
1. How discreet it is. Cobra and Arccos did a great job on the design. Even if you don't plan on using it, there is no minus to having the chip integrated to the grip.
2. Accuracy. The last 2 rounds I have not interfered with the app. For the most part I've left the phone in my pocket and tried to let it do it's thing. There is one drive from yesterday's round where it short-changed me some 12 yards. Other than that I think it's been accurate on everything with one exception - Fairway bunkers that have fluffy sand. Even if you catch the ball clean (for the most part) the device could not detect that impact. I've had at least 3 such drives in the last 2 rounds and they all had these issues. It's a minor item - just avoid fairway bunkers . Needs to be mentioned again, the sand in these 2 courses was not firm or packed at all. In other conditions this may be a non-issue. In these cases just go back to the hole where you landed in a FW bunker and edit the drive. It's a straight forward process.
3. Stat tracking - the smart distance, while humbling, is very accurate imo. It gives you an idea what your typical drive at each course is. It also tracks your misses (L or R) so you can view historically if you are improving or if there is a steady miss.
Key minuses -
1. My phone battery isn't good to begin with, but this app is a HOG on it. I tried to interfere with the phone as little as possible (for me) and the phone didn't last either of the last 2 rounds. Both were 4+ hours, so that's something to keep in mind. I think that if the round were 3 hours or less this wouldn't be as much of an issue, since the phone died around hole 16 both days. For me, rounds are typically drawn out affairs unfortunately. I add the caveat that my phone battery life sucks to begin with. However, I typically use Golfshot and don't have issues. I'm guessing the app constantly listening for impact is the culprit. Having a newer phone with good battery life would help, as would a small charger in your pocket that can be used mid round on. If I plan on continuing to use the app this will probably be the route to go.
I just left it default (hole view). The screen should turn off though.Do you leave it on the hole view or put it on yardage? That is the "power save" mode on the reg arccos
