This sounds like a neat toy. I'll be interested in the details. Thanks for input in advance!

Do you get one of the sensors for every club except the putter?
I also just recently bought Arccos and played a couple rounds with it last weekend.Two things I'm curious about is 1. Battery life on the phone since it's using an app to communicate with the sensors. 2. How does it handle short shots (pitches,chips, 1/2, 3/4, etc)
I own Game Golf and will not shell out more cash for Accors, just too expensive for me, but I do have some questions:
Are there extra sensors available? For example if I need to chip, can I register a chip sensor or will it register the club I am using?
Can you track yourself on a map?
Does it keep score for you?
Can you edits shots after a round?
Does it automatically know what course you are on?

Can you track yourself on a map? Yes, during your round you see the satellite map of the hole you're one, plus when you review the saved round later on your phone or their website it shows you a map of each hole and draws your shots on the map.
Does it keep score for you? Yes, automatically. I check mine to make sure it didn't miss any putts, but that's one of the biggest reasons I got it.
Can you edits shots after a round? Yes, you can edit shots any time.
Does it automatically know what course you are on?Yes, based on GPS. You can download the maps ahead of time if you know where you're going to be playing, or download them when you get there as long as there's a data signal for your cell phone, or wifi you can use. If you have the map downloaded, you just fire up the app, it auto-detects the course you're at, and you tell it what tees you're playing from and what hole you're starting on, then click "Start Round". You don't have to look at your phone at all after that if you don't want.

Battery life on the phone is no big deal. It uses a fair bit, but they claim about 50% battery life. I have an iPhone 6 and saw significantly less than that. At the end of the day (not just the round, the whole day) my battery wasn't significantly more drained than it is on a heavy phone usage day.
It recognizes short shots no problem, but one thing to be aware of is they'll be included in your average distance for that club. So if you do a bunch of 50yd pitch shots with say a 9i, it's going to come up with a shorter-than-normal average distance for your 9. I haven't figured out yet if there's a way to override that.
I will say that if you're taking lessons, it's a super handy tool. I played Saturday and Sunday then had a lesson on Monday. I logged into the website on my coach's computer and showed him the stats from my round. He was really impressed with all the data there. He wants to see it again after a few more rounds so he'll have a better idea of my strengths and weaknesses. Instead of him just relying on me telling him what I think my weaknesses that need work are, he can see the data for himself.
It's going to be cold and windy (two things I hate the most), but I have a round scheduled for tomorrow to test this out.
At least you can see the grass... We have at least 2 ft of snow on the ground...

What 50's
High of 58 with winds around 10mph. Playable but it'll be chilly for FL golf
