Review on ๐ŸŒ๏ธ Experience Golf's Revolutionary Arccos Caddie Smart Sensors with AI-Powered GPS Rangefinder by Lamar Hopkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bought in May, played over 30 rounds with Arccos

Got exactly what I wanted from this product. It does exactly what it says on the tin, but I'll list a few issues I had.1. The sensors are powered by solar energy. I had one round where I played the last 2 holes at dusk/dark and the sensors completely stopped working. This time it was just a problem and it was very dark so I didn't get too upset about it.2. Some shots go undetected and can ruin your round if you don't catch them. I've noticed that bunker shots, flop shots, hits under trees, shots fired just before the previous shot, etc. are sometimes not captured. That's fine because it's easy to add a snapshot manually, but it can be annoying if you don't notice it right away and have to go back and fix it. This problem causes me to keep checking the application, usually at the end of each hole.3. The shape/size of some green plants is wrong. I don't know how to fix this, but at my local course, the 4th hole is a par 4 with a full 20-30 feet of green less than what the app says. This sucks because the app tells me the front of the green is 100 yards, but it's actually going to be closer to 110 yards. It's easy to install the most buggy part of the system. I'll have a few putts that don't register every round, but again, it's easy to manually add and even adjust where you put from the green and where the pin was placed. Some Issues I'll admit I see others complaining: the phone needs to be in the front left pocket - this was a major issue I had before purchasing this product. I never play with anything other than t-shirts in my pocket as large items get in the way during the round. I have an iPhone 6s and I just take the case off and play with it in my pocket. This can be an issue on larger phones, but I hardly notice it and it certainly doesn't affect my lap negatively. The phone turns off during the round. My phone wasn't disconnected once during the round this year. However, on the longer laps of 4.5 to 5 hours, it drains 70 to 80% of the battery. I highly recommend using battery saver mode and limiting phone usage outside of the app during the round. That being said, I'm playing on an older iPhone model and can't imagine newer models having this issue. want to make a phone call during the round. The first round I played with Arccos was almost entirely on my phone to find out everything. The learning curve can be steep for people who aren't very tech savvy, but I can't imagine anyone my age (25) having trouble understanding it. My game has greatly improved since purchasing this product. I would say it scored 3-5 hits and I expect it will be the same next year as I work to improve the parts of my game that the app tells me to. quick-witted statistics nerd. I expect to have and use such a product every time I play golf.
