How many times have you laid awake the night before your round, anticipating and planning out each shot? Shot Scope, the industry leader in shot tracking technology, is introducing a new app feature called MyStrategy that might make your planning a little more effective. This feature is accessible through the Shot Scope mobile app for both iOS and Android, as well as the company’s web dashboard. MyStrategy allows golfers to sync their game performance stats with any new course they are playing and receive advanced insights on how to play each hole from tee to green. This feature is compatible with all Shot Scope’s performance-tracking GPS rangefinders and smartwatches.

Building a gameplan using MyStrategy is probably easiest using the Shot Scope Dashboard on a laptop. It enables golfers to analyze their statistics and plan their strategies for each hole, helping them identify the best clubs and aiming points to work their way around the course. The feature offers various insights, such as dispersion, tendency, shots plotted, and adjustments for factors like wind and elevation. It also provides statistics for individual clubs based on tee shot results and lie, ensuring maximum accuracy.

David Hunter, the CEO of Shot Scope, highlights the importance of this feature for golfers, emphasizing its availability across all Shot Scope game tracking products. MyStrategy enhances golfers’ ability to improve their performance on any course by allowing them to make data-driven decisions.
“Any golfer can now go online and look at a course and hole layout, but with the MyStrategy feature our millions of Shot Scope golfers can actually match their performance stats with each hole and truly build a game plan ahead of a round,” said David Hunter, CEO, Shot Scope. “This insight is invaluable for competitive tournament players, or golfers playing a new course for the first time.”

Once on the course, the mobile app allows users to access MyStrategy, providing instant insight on each hole. This should take the guesswork out of club selection, which can be very tricky the first time or two around a golf course.
This new feature comes after Shot Scope introduced several innovations in 2023, such as the PRO LX+ Rangefinder, X5 Golf Watch, and CONNEX performance tracking tags. The company aims to provide golfers with a comprehensive ecosystem of distance measuring and performance tracking products to cater to various playing styles and budgets. The PRO LX+ is a 3-in-1 system that combines advanced distance measuring technology with performance tracking, streamlining the on-course experience for golfers. Shot Scope offers free updates and does not require additional costs or subscriptions for their products.

I’m trying to play around with this on the app, and I’m probably just missing it but nowhere is it letting me do a strategy session.
I’m sure it’ll be better on a computer, just not an option right now and I kind of want to play with it.
Is anyone using it on their app right now?

I haven’t tried yet, but the email says they just released the app update so maybe it hasn’t been approved by the App Store yet. That happens a lot with my company and our app. Sometimes it takes a bit.

I’m wondering to, if anyone is like me. I have a hole or 2 at each course I play regularly that just has my number. No matter what I try, still end of with a big number on the scorecards. I’d be curious to look at this feature and how it plays on these difficult holes. Maybe I’ve already tried it, but what does it show me as the best option to finally figure it out?
[/QUOTE]
For sure. I have a couple that came to mind that are just totally in my head from jump. I could definitely see this being beneficial to finding different ways to attack your “problem” holes. As others have said, the Dashboard has allowed us to do that already in a way. This seems next level.
This is awesome. Been hoping they’d roll out something like this to compete more with Arcoss. Will play with it this week and use on Saturday for a course I haven’t played in a while. Alas, I have new irons arriving in the next week or so and will have all new P-avg numbers with those and will take a while to build those up. I’ll just have to play more often, of course.
This is super cool, and could be really helpful especially when looking at an Alt Shot format or something similar to it.
The iOS update is available in the App store as I have already downloaded it and the MyStrategy option is there.
Ok, I’ve been playing around with this on the website for the past 20 minutes and it’s really good guys.
The only thing on my wish list would be the ability to map out second or third shots off the tee with the dispersion patterns of those clubs. Unless I’m missing it that seems to not be a thing. Hopefully, it’s something that’ll be added. It seems like it could be very beneficial to see tendencies on approach be self-contained in the ‘MyStrategy’ area instead of just out in the larger data sets.
Just played around for a bit, it seems really cool. Adding in wind and elevation are pretty interesting. It didn’t seem to let me move the tee location around too much. I also don’t think you can move the dispersion cones which would have been an interesting feature I think. Will definitely be spending more time in it.
So.
Awesome.
I don’t use shotscope (right now) but I’ll be watching this with people that do. I kinda love this.

From what I understand you need to move the tees around prior to selecting a club. The dispersion cone isn’t moveable because it’s part of your data I believe. You can only move it by dragging the ‘landing area’ to left side or right side.
This is also A LOT easier to play with on the web than the app.
Instead of tee to green, I’d like the ability to work backwards from green to tee – see which approach clubs are the best choice based on average distances and dispersion, then work back to the tee to see which club allows me to use that club on approaches.
As it stands, with apparent emphasis on tee shots (unless I am missing something) I can see the usefulness of developing a strategy for use on a new course, or for those that can hit the ball a long way. At my age, being distance challenged, there aren’t many holes where I have options off the tee other than to use the driver. Seeing how wind and elevation might affect the results of the shot, and dispersion is interesting, but it doesn’t necessarily affect any strategy I might have for playing a hole.

I just looked up the MyStrategy for Victoria National and I’m a little disappointed an icon of praying hands or a middle finger didn’t just pop up. :ROFLMAO:
Thank you for the writeup on this. If all goes well I’ll be using this today!
I’ve held off in switching but this and everything else that Shot Scope has thrown down may be what finally convinces me to make the change from Arccos. I hate to give up all the data I’ve gotten over the last 4+ years but some of the additional items SS is offering and continues to come out with is leaps and bounds ahead of Arccos, who’s been on a beta dashboard for the last two seasons. Sigh….

I wish the same with the second and third shot options being available. What I would really like is based off data from previous rounds to say if you are in fairway hit this club versus if you are in the rough you should hit this club.
However if that was the case golf wouldn’t be golf now would it.

It’s time. Start ‘24 off fresh. New game new you. You won’t regret it.
It does look like no matter what tee you select to start it puts the blue dot at the furthest back tee box. Move it BEFORE you make a club selection and hit save.
Just saw the email. This looks really cool

Great call, it works just as you described, appreciate it
This sounds frickin awesome! I want to try this before this weekend’s round.
One of the quirks I saw in the iOS app was to get to active clubs you need to select the “Active Clubs Only” toggle and then click on “P-Avg Clubs” even if you are already on that tab. The setting does not store through holes, so you might need to do that for every hole.
The overlay of plotted shots doesn’t appear accurate. Some of my plotted drives seem much further downrange than they should be. I would love to be able to drive a 350 yard green that’s uphill and plays into the wind but I can’t. The cone looks accurate though.
I’ll have to play around with the web interface later. For now I think I’ll have to create the strategies without the plotted shots since the wind/elevation on the cone is what I see on my home course. I don’t want this to sound overly critical because I’m excited about what this could be. It could be a great tool but I also think it needs some refinements to get there.
It’s a new rollout and I know bugs will be corrected. In a quick review I noticed that, on my home course, the yardages given for uphill shots conflict with what I’ve seen through my ProLX+ and playing partners Bushnells, Precision Pros, Nikons etc. For example, on #1, I’ve played shots from 100 yards a good bit of the time this year. Instead of that 100 yard shot playing uphill several yards as it does according to the rangefinders, MyStrategy has it playing several yards less than actual. It does the same thing on every uphill shot Ichecked. Shots that do play downhill show a lesser “plays as” but it’s still off a bit from the rangefinder.
I need to get a shot scope device

Just like with the X5, I am also confident that the bugs identified so far will be corrected. 🙁
I will need to get a new phone. My XR ‘s battery life is not great.
I had a V2, have since updated to V3. I wear a regular watch so haven’t jumped at the X5.
Very cool concept. Curious to see how it plays out. Certainly course and weather conditions come into affect.
Fiddled with it a bit over lunch and I’m really curious about uphill and downhill effect. On my home course for example, there’s a couple holes I’ve plotted against with significant slopes where it’s putting me either well short or well long to what I plan on. Does it have any way to factor elevation in?
First of all, MyStrategy is really cool. I spent about 2 hours this morning going through my home course and discovered some pretty interesting things. Questions/thoughts

You have to turn on elevation in the Settings.
Also, everyone should check the wind/weather settings you have turned on or off – it will impact yardages.
Having that option available to use if you have their shot tracking is awesome.
Using the data obtained to provide unique insights is next level stuff. Bravo Shot Scope.
Really neat idea. I would have to plot out a plan A, B and C. :LOL:
Been playing around with it on my home course and is brining the confidence to my game with my dispersion on my clubs. Quite insightful on a couple of holes that I am between clubs. This truly is a feature that is great for scouting courses, but also honing your club selection on your home course.

Perfect example of this is on hole 6/15 on my course. Early season was hitting 4/5 iron off the tee and recently have been switching between 3 hybrid and 3 wood. Looking at the dispersion here and knowing the tree trouble it makes sense to stick to 4 iron.
[ATTACH type=”full”]9220196[/ATTACH]
[ATTACH type=”full”]9220197[/ATTACH]
Now overlaying with course results you can see that 4 iron is a clear winner off the tee verse 3 hybrid. 3wood averaged double bogey.

On the yardages, MyStrategy pulls from your last 30 shots with each club. So effectively distance is attuned to time of year or form.

[USER=68564]@GavinwithaR1[/USER] – Makes sense to have the distances and dispersions reflect current performance. Thanks for the explanation.
This morning, I’ve been examining my home course to determine how alternate clubs off the tee might work….and come up with some really interesting ideas. The season is pretty much over in New England (although I manage to get out at least once through the winter) so I’ll have to wait until Spring to try them “live fire”.

But does this seem right, just using two examples:
8i – My Strategy says 161 P-AVG=134 AVG=121 longest in 2023=166
91 – My Strategy says 156 P-AVG=125 AVG=115 longest in 2023=155
I can’t plan a strategy based on those inflated yardages.
Roughly 30 shots, for most on my clubs, are taken in my last 15 rounds or so. However, in the last 15 rounds I have only used my PW on approaches 17 times. Keep in mind that I play every weekday, weather permitting. For someone who only plays once or twice a week, thirty shots with a given club can span a very long time.

As an additional data point, today MyStrategy is sometimes showing distances which seem to reflect an average of my longest shots with that club, and sometimes showing the P Avg.

I had emailed Support and I got a response from Jamie that it is supposed to be the P-AVG of the last 30 shots. Using my 9i as an example, in my last 15 rounds, I have used the 9i 34 times, very close to the 30 that are supposed to be used. My P-AVG is 133, but My Strategy shows my yardage with that club as 156. A few clubs at either end of the bag seem to be very close, but the irons in my bag, 5 through 9 are all way off. I hope Gavin is correct and that this will be corrected shortly, as the response from Jamie seems to indicate they think it is working properly.
Really cool breakdown of this in the 2024 Data Experience thread written up by Shot Scope
[URL unfurl=”true”]https://www.thehackersparadise.com/forum/index.php?threads/the-2024-data-experience-with-shot-scope.8956226/[/URL]
I’m definitely interested in this
This is really cool for going through an unknown course beforehand or analyzing gome course performance and options.
I have several holes at my home course, where the selection of tee club can make or break the hole and subsequently the round.
This will be heavily used, once I’ve accumulated enough data.
So creating and saving tee shots ahead of time doesn’t transfer over to an actual round? I assumed it would pop up and show me what I had picked or something while playing, but no.
