I have been considering this because it's on sale everywhere. Haven't pulled the trigger because of mixed reviews. I've also looked at Golf Pad GPS, which also has mixed reviews. I have Cobra irons with Cobra Connect, but the data isn't worth paying $99 a year to me.

That's awesome. I absolutely love this unit and the company.Got a little SWAG from ShotScope yesterday. They have asked and I’ve accepted being a Brand Ambassador for ShotScope. They are build an Ambassador page for me on their website and as part of the creation of my page, SS will analyze my stats and I’ll get feedback on where my strengths and weaknesses lie, as well as some tips to help improve the weaker areas of my game. As everyone has seen, I’ve been a big proponent of the system since I won one here on THP in late 2016. Really looking forward to the analysis on where to improve my game.
Thanks cs@shotscope for the opportunity!

Well, it's nice that the market offers us choices. I used Shotscope for quite a while but became frustrated with the software. I don't find editing to be quick and easy and I found them being high handed forcing us to edit and sign off. Also their update, which, to their credit they admit, caused the watch battery to deplete much quicker.
I used Arccos before ShotScope and went back to them. The editing on the iPhone at least is very easy.
The nice thing is, we have choices!

I have never had more than a couple edits in a round. And usually it's because I forgot about a putt or forgot to use the feature when I think I may have lost a ball or something. I've had great luck. And making edits are extremely easy on the phone app. It's come a long way since even last year.

Hi guys, a bit new to this game and have bought the Shot Scope 2 primarily as a good-priced GPS for F/M/B with the possibility of round analysis a possible bonus. My questions are as follows:
1. I have a Cobra driver and fairway wood with built in Arccos sensor. After fitting I bought the clubs on the basis of performance, the sensor bit had no part of the purchase decision as I had no intention of playing with a big lump of phone in my shorts pocket. I knew the Shop Scope tags will not screw in the grip because of the Arccos sensor so I thought of trying a hack - cut off the SS tag screw and bed the remaining button in some hot-melt glue to the butt end of the grip. With 20 tags in the box I can have a test run on an old club first.
2. My putter grip also has no thread hole (Scotty Cameron Matador) and I thought of trying the same trick with that (assuming exercise 1 proves a success!)
However, before getting out the junior hacksaw and glue-gun I thought it would be worth asking if there were saner alternatives.
Thanks

After a bit more research (Read the *! manual!) I came across the following which answers my own questions. Although it concerns putters, the logic must apply to any club.
" ... users can cut off the screw from the bottom of tag and tape/glue the top of the tag to the end of the grip."
Thanks anyway!

That is what I did - I cut the threads off and Duct Taped to the Butt end of the putter.
Good read. I'm glad everyone had a great experience with it. I've had a different take. Instead of starting a duplicate topic I figure I'd post in this review ��
The 28 Day money back thing - watch out! Its not 28 days from when its delivered, its 28 days from the moment you order. So if they ship 3-4 days later due to holiday/weekend and it takes 3-4 days to arrive you actually have a 19 or 18 day money back time frame. Now they're good people so they honored my request even though it was exactly 28 days from when they shipped it LOL so - glad they've said they'd take it back and refund my money. I shipped it back today. Sadly too because I really wanted this to work awesome.
The install, setup, activation etc are all no brainers stupid easy so I won't talk about them. I'll try to just give you guys the true low down dirty truth without glowing fluff like I'm a paid sponsor.
The thing misses ALLOT OF SHOTS. Like after shooting 77, you'll download the round and see you shot 55. So you go through the holes and realize about 3-6 holes get completely missed on average! This isn't the high and its not the low, its the average. I wish it was like 1 or 2 chip shots a round. Its usually short game shots (chips, putts, etc) and I have no idea what happens with 3 holes in a row get missed like you never played them. I'm not a big guy - 5'7" weighing 140lbs - thin would be a statement. I wore this as far down as I could stomach because at a certain tightness it starts to pinch your skin on your wrist - not an issue, I can withstand pain no problems. But I'm saying this because I wasn't wearing the darn band half way up my arm but that darn 10cm max sensor distance is a deal breaker. Wearing it as far down as possible the rim of the glove would hit the next hole button constantly. It says to take allot of practice swings - 4 practice swings hits the next hole button 4 times and you look down and you went from hole 9 to hole 15 and I'd bet now its not registering a damn shot. The next hole button is really a deal breaker - no matter how I wore the watch - tried right hand, left hand, turning it upside-down backwards, etc - nothing fixes all the issues, it either misses shots, holes or in one case the complete round. So I was really getting down because this broke my bank at 159 - I know, its normally much more expensive - but that's what you get when you wait 2 years after release and look for sales, etc.
So I dove in and couldn't wait to play the whole season and look at my stats to see what I could work on. But everyone you play with will say stuff like 'why you keep messing with that thing? isn't it distracting?' you rattle off what it can do and their eyes widen and they usually say something like 'seems too high tech for me' or 'seems like more trouble than its worth, you keep messing with it and getting angry its not picking up the correct hole, you're getting out of your game constantly looking at it and taking all those practice swings.'
So get prepared to take flack from folks about messing with the watch all the time. The GPS is spot on, loved it and it was my first time using a wearable and have to say once they improve it (by taking my suggestions I hope) I'll definitely try the V3 if they release one. I suggested they increase the sensor distance from 10cm to like 7 inches. 10cm is a little less than 4 inches by the way. Keep in mind the end of the grip the sensor is on sticks out the back of your left hand for right handed golfers - the watch is on the top of your wrist - my wrist is skinny too, I can't imagine if you had a thick wrist - it would be too far away immediately. Like I said I wear this as far down as possible because it needs to be close enough - its barely in range man! Barely in range and its so close to the area where the wrist bends - it gets pushed by the glove and bones in my hand! So can't get much clearer on this - I can't see how it will pick up most shots unless you maybe grip down 1 or so inches down the shaft leaving the butt sticking further out, closer to the watch.
Anyhow that's my take. I bought one, tried it for about 7 rounds of golf and practiced with it to get used to the pinch, etc, I tried taking the glove and cutting the cuff off, that allows the watch to slide even closer but then the actual hands or Velcro closure will still push the next hole button.
I recommended they extend the range on sensors - 6-8 inches at least - AND make it a touch screen. This way no way could someone inadvertently hit a button without intentionally doing so. Outside of all this I loved it. The stats, etc. Love it but this version isn't for me.

I have an extra set of tags for my SS, I also have a second set of clubs. How do i set up the second set of clubs with my second set of tags in my bag so the software can tell the difference when I look at my stats. Thanks for any help with this.
Great unit!

Make a 2nd set of clubs in your “My Bag” and switch out the clubs when you use the second set. I have several sets of Irons and Drivers I switch out. Just remember to fix your “My Bag” before you play.

MGS has a coupon out there for $50 off the V2 unit. Brings it to $139

Just a heads up, I got my watch last July and 2 of the buttons stopped working. I have been getting a fair amount of pushback from CSR since I don't have the receipt, but essentially the watch is unusable in the meantime. Pretty bummed....fingers crossed they take care of me but I'm preparing for what happens if they don't which would be a shame a $150+ watch would break after just over 1 year.
EDIT 9/16: never doubted Shotscope! They found the original purchase in the system, and I have a replacement watch headed my way! w00t w00t!! Just another great customer service story for these guys!
