Shot Scope 4+

Solid Stats Tracking

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.

This app COULD be a hole-in-one.

Overall the app is good, but it could be much better. They need to bring all the stats that are on the web version to the app. It’s a pain that in order to see the data that matters I have to whip out my computer. Wish they had dark mode. Wish you could actually share round data rather than just screenshots of rounds or holes (they’re missing out on huge marketing here as I’d love to send a round to you friends). After editing a round you have to say “Sign Off” which is a really confusing phrase especially when they refer to it as Save everywhere else in the app (and there is Sign Out in other parts of the app). Doesn’t seem like it’s been tested on iPhone 12 mini as all page titles hit the top of the screen. “Courses” and “Course Hub” are confusing to me. Don’t know the difference. Club filtering is annoying as it scrolls back to the beginning whenever you select a club. All-in-all the app and product is really good, but there are small tweaks and improvement that could make it great. They need to keep investing in cleaning things up and bringing more and more data to the app. This product is better than Arccos because they focus on the data. If they double down on that they will grab market share from serious golfers looking to better understand their game.

Smorgasbord of Data

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.
