I am still really enjoying my V3 but I do wish they'd include more than vs. a Tour Pro for Strokes Gained. Doesn't feel like a particularly good standard to measure yourself against for a 10-15 handicap.

Their last email stated that is something they are working on, hope to see it soon.I am still really enjoying my V3 but I do wish they'd include more than vs. a Tour Pro for Strokes Gained. Doesn't feel like a particularly good standard to measure yourself against for a 10-15 handicap.
You can either clip off a piece of the screw part of the sensor or buy a pack of putter sensors, some of which are applied with an adhesive. The adhesive is very permanent, so I would only suggest it with a putter with which you have a long term commitment.So the last few times out have been marginal fails on my part with regard to using the Shot Scope. I left the watch in the hotel room for one round. I never could get the sensor to lay flush with the top of my putter grip...eventually it broke off. I haven't bought a replacement yet, so the stats portion of the product have been mostly un-usuable. But I have worn the watch and used it as a GPS device and I've been happy. I like the convenience of not using a laser for everything. And the wrist band is comfortable.
You can't screw the tag in far enough on Stroke Lab putters to get it to lay flush due to the backweight. If you still have the tag, cut the threads off and glue it or tape it to the putter. Or you can just use the manual putting method, hitting a button from each place you putt from then the pin collect button at the hole when done. No need for a tag at all doing it that way.So the last few times out have been marginal fails on my part with regard to using the Shot Scope. I left the watch in the hotel room for one round.

Forgot to mention as I don't know just how familiar you are with the watch, but you have to change to the manual putting method on the watch itself in Settings.So the last few times out have been marginal fails on my part with regard to using the Shot Scope.

(1) The courses are pre-loaded on the V3 watch, if its in their database, but it does take a minute or so for the GPS to lock in and find where you're at. You'll want to do this before you get to the 1st tee box.Been interested in a GPS watch for some time as I do not enjoy pulling out the rangefinder for each shot, often not bothering and simply estimating the distances. The ShotScope sounds like it could be for me, and providing data can only help my game. That said, I had a few (probably naive) questions about the V3.
1) How quick is the watch to recognize the course you are playing? Or do you need to download the course in each time?
2) How does it tell the distance of a shot? do you need to go to the ball and then tap something (or the watch)?
3) If the ball goes out of bounds -what do you do with the watch? Is there a feature where you can record the extra stroke?
4) Those who made the purchase last year, are you still using it? What were the biggest problems you have encountered the past year?
Thanks.
Where are you seeing the strokes gained info?They just released a refinement to the Shots Gained on the app. Really digs down into the "why". Still only compared to Pros but other handicap comparisons are supposedly only weeks away. Must update to the latest version of the app.
1. How does it differentiate between practice swings and real swings, especially with the putter? The fact that you have moved to a different location more than some small unidentified distance from the spot of your last shot is the best I can figure.
2. I putt left hand low. Has anyone that putts this way that has the watch have an issue with registering the putts in Auto mode or should I just use Manual as a safety? I've occasionally for a given putt used left hand low and can't recall if I've had issues or not in auto mode. You can always try it and add putts when editing after the round. I think it might depend on how far down the grip your lead hand is from the watch band. Some say to tap the watch band .
3. Do you have to select manual mode for putting each round or is it once you set it, that is what is selected until you choose auto? Any setting selected is set until you change it. No need to do it for every round.
5. If only playing 9 holes instead of a traditional 18, how does the watch know? Haven't played just 9 but I think you can go into settings and you have the option to "end round".
6. Do you select penalties (i.e., ball goes OB or in the water or bunker) during the round or is this done during post round editing? Either way. I personally wait until editing.
7. What if you have zero putts (i.e., you chip in or hole out)? I have only noticed you all saying 1, 2, 3, or 4 as the options on the screen. How does one track this? In Auto mode, pin collect screen shows 1,2 or 3 putts and an arrow bottom right. Push that button and the next scree offers you 0 and 4 as well as the option to "pick up". Also, those numbers are to represent the number of times you use the putter, not the number of putts taken on the green.
