Shot Scope for Android

I was a GAME Golf user for years. YEARS. But GAME Golf has gone to the bunker in the sky, and ShotScope has stepped in with the H4, a tiny little belt-clip unit with a battery life that lasts for 45 holes and a screen with GPS data tracking, for a cost of only $150. It's solid. Entering your round while you play is simple. Tap, and then tap-in your birdie putt. (Or bogey putt.) Tap and then hit your tee shot. Tap and then hit your trouble shot. Tap, and swing. When you do this enough times, you get a wealth of data about your golf game, and where you should practice (hint: pick up a copy of Lowest Score Wins to further help here!). All free, without a subscription (unlike Arccos). I can't recommend it highly enough.

I am an avid Shot Scope user for 3+ years and have dropped my index from 16 to 9.0 (with gym work) as a 66 year old, male golfer. What a fun and terrific tool for recording and re-living your greatest golf rounds. It helps me to develop a strategy for courses I frequent and for courses I’ve never seen before. Shot Scope has all the right data to help with club selection and to show you how to improve your game as fast as possible. An economic tool without a subscription model (right, no ongoing fees) and you get your own shots gained metrics vs tour players or any handicap range you wish. Plus you can see your metrics compared to golfers in the U. S. or around the world. Highly recommended.

I quire often have to edit where the pin was on nearly every green. I will stand next to the cup and click on pin pickup and it rarely records it correctly, I’m not sure if it’s me or the watch. An occasional missed shot, but it mostly will add extra putts even when I click on the number putts taken and push putt pick up it will some times add one or even two. I wonder if it’s because I do take little practice swings as I wal up to the ball, but I always key in the actual putts taken. What I find really good is the front, middle, back yardages, until I get close to the green then it just goes to putts. Overall I enjoye shot scope.

The watch is comfortable, unobtrusive and secure. I’ve compared the distances shown on the watch against my range finder and am confident the GPS info is accurate. The data provided on the watch is sufficient to get around the course. With GPS + Tracking you get epic data on your round. The sensors affix to the grip easily. The data on the portal is robust and can provide you with a deep dive into your metrics beyond how far you hit your clubs. Where you miss are by percentages by drive, approach, scrambling, and putting. Strokes gained is a great data set that allow you to look at how you compare against different handicaps and even the tour.

The ShotScope team has taken care of every question and concern I’ve had, to include replacing my watch when the screen locked up. They are nice folks who actually care.
