@@cartersmithgolf I need to get the caddie up and running, as course management is a weak point of mine. Former captain at my club absolutely swears by it. He’s always out first, so hopefully he will set the pin positions 😂 That is by far the best review of the product.

[@frankzayas3103]

I got the whole system at once...sensors and link. So far, I have four rounds with them and I am really impressed. Everything works very well with only a few adjustments I need to make during a round, almost all having to do with putting . I will say this about the Link though...it's easy to lose! It fell off my belt twice during yesterday's round and I was lucky to find it. The first time I finished the hole and looked at the app and it said the link lost connection. When I went to look at it, it was gone! Not a cheap bit of kit! After my initial panic, I noticed that the last shot it recorded was from the fairway and I was able to go back to the spot and there it was. After the second time it happened, I clipped it to the edge of my pocket instead, which didn't seem as secure, but actually turned out to be. So there's my tip: clip it to your pocket and not the belt!

[@cartersmithgolf]

That’s for that Frank and yeah I agree that clip is so easy to loose. It actually works best on your pocket rather than belt. Another tip that a lot of users (I actually just use my phone as I’m used to it being in my pocket) are doing is to attach a small lanyard clip to the device and then clip that to your belt as a backup. These clips are very cheap (2bucks on Amazon) and will save you in the long run. Thanks for the feedback and for watching. 🙏🙏

@@cartersmithgolf appreciate the reply pal. Iv gotta Q actually. Im a big numbers guy and as a newbie im going at golf pretty hard, my own boss so can put a few hours in a day, especially in the summer! I want to start tracking my swing speed and carry etc when practicing. Do you have a portable launch monitor, if so what one do you like? I am thinking the sc200+ as for £299 its not too bad and if i wanted to upgrade later I dont see me getting less that £199 for it. ill be doing a lot of range work to dial in my distances so arcoss wont be much hel p there, sadly, and i dont want to be hitting balls and guessing aimlessly. Any idea if at the range, with range balls, thatll effect the launch monitors stats? ie I believe the rull of thumb is -10%

[@cartersmithgolf]

I’ve just tested the Garmin G80 which was bearable kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWKbnI1opZp9a9E not sure I’d fully recommend that tbh. Booking a session on a track man/GC Quad for a gap test would be the place to start. Then if you would like to keep an eye on your speed you can get a simple Doppler radar (they are about £100). It’s important to match up your range work with lie conditions on a course as this is a much bigger skill to have rather than speed. You only hit 18 shots a round from the tee and all the others are from vastly different lies and stances. Get out as much as possible and that will pay you back well.

[@scottlee4237]

An excellent thorough review. I was reticent to buy the Arccos system because I’ve had an iPhone 12 in my pocket it’s not a great idea but now they have the link I can just put that in my pocket. I’ve tried all the shot scope version three but found it lacking and could hardly see the screen and bright sunlight, it was a bit of a pain to use. This looks a far better system to just hit and forget

[@cartersmithgolf]

I can’t rate it highly enough. I wouldn’t play without mine tbh. You always need to make small teaks after the round but I even like doing that. I use my phone for every shot I play (it suggest clubs and strategy etc) so I’ve got very used to having the phone in my pocket. Just yesterday I played a course I’ve never played before and it’s clubbing was faultless, far better than me after 30years of elite golfing experience.

[@owenjones2899]

That was a great review. Just bought for all the reasons you spoke about and primarily to know how far I strike each club which has been a guesstimate for years. Especially during swing struggles and practice frequency. Really helped me. Thanks.

Thinking about buying one very soon + the extra data clip as I don’t carry my max size iphone in my pocket when I play. Didn’t hear any cons mentioned with exception of where you hold the club in your hand. Only negative would be needing the subscription service on gen 3 system but your first year is included in purchase. After that for me the sub would be about $145-150 per year in our currency. Break that down to about 15/mnth is worth it if you play once per week. Think I’m sold just to have my own playing data with a real golf ball versus range ball.

Thanks for watching and you won’t be disappointed. I would play without mine. It’s become my favourite piece of kit in the last 10 years. So insightful to your game and once you have some rounds under your belt it helps you so much Especially if you are playing away from your known course.

[@yannrobert8546]

Awesome video and informations,thks a lot,only one question that bother me,how the arccos react on the driving range,since we don’t play on the course ,do we drain the batterie from those sensor for nothing or is there a mode to disabled them all for that purpose…

[@cartersmithgolf]

I practice a lot throughout the off season and I’m still using my original set I had a few years ago BUT the caps are so easy to screw off the clubs (if you get the stub version rather than the grips,I recommend this) you can remove them at the end of each season or session if required. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

[@shreekantparasuraman7850]

I thoroughly enjoyed the review. It was honest, straightforward and engaging. The graphics of how it looks on the phone is amazing. I clearly understood what needs to be done and how user friendly it will be on the course. The only thing I did not understand was how it (Arcoss smart sensor) measures the distance carried. Is it that one has to hit the ball and go to the spot where it landed and the system then captures the distance for each club? So, as each of the clubs are being used over time, it creates a database and then makes the suggestions/recommendations.

[@cartersmithgolf]

Yes you are exactly right. You just hit your shots and it plots everything from the last time you struck the ball. The data it collects has moved on from this video so now it’s even more in depth. I should do another update video. Thank you for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙏🙏

[@sevesellors2831]

Very good review and well explained certainly help your golf. My only worries are you going to be spending so much time looking at the data it could create more slow play and usually with all these gadgets they start to play up, just a couple of points.

[@cartersmithgolf]

I do get you, but tbh I’ve found that on course it actually speeds things up as it’s doing all those calculations and simply giving you a club and a number based on your own play. It’s nice to get on with it and just play. Thanks for watching. 🙏🙏👍

Carter-Smith Golf: Great review! A few questions about sensors: - How long will they last, as in, will the sensors stop working after X years? - I saw on the box for the sensors that the first year is free; am I correct that it will cost ~$155/year for each subsequent year to use them? - I'm interested to know people's experience with the Arccos sensors + Apple Watch (and keeping the phone/app in the golf cart). Will that setup work without the Link? Thank you!

[@cartersmithgolf]

My censors have lasted 2.5 years, I haven’t used the Apple Watch but I hear it’s pretty good. Link works great. You do find that you use your phone for every shot (caddie suggestions and distances etc) so it’s something that you very quickly get used to in your pocket.

[@MrAd6126]

Excellent review! Now I finally understand how it works and what I actually need to buy, thanks!!

[@catman1050]

Great review! Couple questions/observations. How does it get environmental conditions (wind, humidity, temp, altitude)? When you go against the caddy and screw up, does it say "I told you so"? Yuou mentioned it gets rid of highs and lows for each club. I imagine you can do this manually also? For example chipping or pitching and shot shapes that may require less than full swing. I have Cobra clubs with the sensors pre-installed but have not used yet.Now for the caddy I guess it all comes down to whether you want access to your phone at all times to take advanteage of the features or be oulling it out of the cart or bag when you want to check something.

[@cartersmithgolf]

It taps in to the local weather for the area and gets a GPS of the hope direction then adds the altitude/humidity if there’s any and calculates accordingly. 🤯🤯 all too much for brain to handle. Yeah there’s nothing more smug than the caddie is always right. lol you don’t need to strike off smaller shots or chip shots as it ends up with a percentage data capture that far outweighs the amount of time we hit chip and runs etc. This also means if it gets some good numbers from your 7 iron the rest can be calculated until proven different. If you don’t have the link you will need your phone in your pocket so it can get an accurate shot position. It’s cross referenced with the grips etc. Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. 👍👍🙏🙏

[@scolopendre]

Just ordered this. One question though...my home course has a prevailing wind. Its frequently a 2/3/4 club wind, either against or behind. So my club distances vary wildly depending on whether its a hole into the wind, or against the wind. I'm really interested to see how it caters for this... Some days a 150m par 3 is my 5i (no wind), sometimes its my 3h or even 3w wind against. Plus going with the wind my approaches are really really hard to hold the green. I end up hitting a 9i short and going out the back... :-(

[@cartersmithgolf]

Sounds a tough track, I will say that it should still give you accurate distances as it uses the currant weather to calculate each shot. So if it’s a down wind shot it will account for that and then leave you with correct yardages when you play other courses etc.

Will start saving up and hopefully benefit from the reduction soon

Chop and run shots are taken out by the AI, it knows if your punching shots as your main shots will be the basis of your distances. Provisionals are also edited out with a very quick swipe (your friend will be fine ;-)). Even if you take a 2nd practice shot it knows.

[@cartersmithgolf]

Hi Jonathan, you won’t be disappointed it’s an amazing insight to your own game and then that against players of a better standard. The putting, basically it will still do a fairly good job of marking your putts but you will need to place the flag on the app (just tap the flag icon and move it’s really quick and simple). You can then fine tune your putts as sometimes if you have a couple of short putts it’s hard for the system to pick up. You can do all this visually later or just after finishing. Let me know how you get on. 👍👍🙏

[@cartersmithgolf]

@Paul Mcintosh hi Paul, no this doesn’t effect your clubbing with these kind of shots. It will obviously take the majority so as long as you use your 7 iron a fair amount in its normal distance it will not count knock down or chip shots.

I have been using Golfshot on my iPhone and love the rangefinder on my watch. If I use the Link to track with Arccos, can I still use the rangefinder on my watch while playing? I am very excited to get out and try this.

[@gregorybarwick6431]

Enjoyed the video. Similar to you I like switching clubs in and out of my bag. Does the system allow multiple club entry options? Example entering in two 3 woods (+3 wood) & (15 deg). Would it register both or does it fall under 1 heading of 3 wood and average combined use of each club?

[@cartersmithgolf]

Hi Gregory, yes you can give them different names. id say have one as a 2 wood and one as a three wood so you know the difference.

[@princevillekauainorthshore736]

Great video. So the only thing you need to manually enter is pin location and how far away you were?

[@cartersmithgolf]

Yes Jeff that’s it. It does have a go at that for you but if your interested in your putting stats you need to just dial that in. If another across player has been out before you then the pins will be already set. 👍👍

[@FromTheTeeBox]

A question i have, in terms of club recommendation, how many rounds do you think you need to have until it recommends a club for you. I was thinking many its needs around 10 rounds to get accurate data? Be great to hear

[@cartersmithgolf]

Hey Greg, it’s obviously quite dependant on the rounds you play(for instance you may only hit wedges if your on a shorter course etc) but generally it kicks in after a few rounds. It will do calculations on some of your clubs and “suggest” based on that until you’ve hit all the clubs. It learns and gathers your stats until you have hit all your clubs multiple times. Then it will be the most accurate caddy in the world drawing upon every shot in every situation you hit there after. Thanks for watching 🙏🙏👍

[@lakecityripper]

It says on the app 10 rounds before you unlock the caddie function.

[@danieldudley5852]

[@ronburgundy8174]

How do you record punch shots out of the trees, etc. in Arccos? Seems that letting Arccos picking those up as normal shots would really skew club data.

It’s cleverly knows your punch shots and chip shots, bump And run etc and eliminates them from your full Shot stats. 🤯🤯🤯

[@cartersmithgolf]

Yes I’d recommend starting straight away as the AI in the app constantly adjusts. Tbh this time of the year is great for getting your carry distances as that’s the info picked up because of the zero roll. The wind icon is the distance including this factor (taken from the live weather station). Great choice btw and feel free to connect with me on there so I can see what your up too. 👍👍

So there’s no way I can keep my phone in my pocket, I can’t deal with anything in my pockets, it gets into my head. That being said, you said that clip has a button. What is the button for and does the clip have a speaker that tells you what club to use or is it just for collecting data? Will I have to always refer to my phone to get the caddie suggestions?

[@cartersmithgolf]

Hi, yeah I was the same way at first but quickly got used to that however I have friends that now use the link because they couldn’t. The button on the link is for marking the flag position more accurately. The Apple Watch could be the solution as that has all the info on it. You will find that you may need more information than just the club as it tells you wind speed and multiple strategies to tackle the hole based on your form and patterns. The link and phone in a side pocket in the bag is great as you can do everything you need without the phone in the pocket. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching 👍👍

It kicks in after 4-6 rounds it’s pretty reliable but gets more accurate the more rounds you have. If your course requires you to play a full range of shots it sorts it out really quick.

Any thoughts on Garmin CT10 sensors as an alternative if you already have a Garmin watch? Saves carrying your phone around and you have the yardage data on your wrist.

[@cartersmithgolf]

I haven't tried the CT10 set up but if they are stress free i will always suggest collecting data. Im a pretty committed type of person and manually collecting data (which is obviously an option) wore me out which is why this system was a revelation. I enjoyed the Garmin G80 in my recent review but did find the GPS side of it a little "clunky" for want of a better word.

There are small sensors in the tip of the grip (either plugs that attach to your existing grips or they sell full grips with them embedded). These notify the app when a shot is hit.

[@GolfGuyReviews]

Nice review Stu 👍 watching your video I had a thought. Does the caddy system ever get you to push your limits? Or the risk reward is actually worth it, or does it always plot ‘the safest way round’

[@cartersmithgolf]

It always plots the statistically best option but it does also offer you (it didn’t on the hole played unfortunately) a couple of lesser more risky options. You can then look at the percentage and your score/position and decide if you’d like to go for it. The hole I played has bunkers all down the left (and slight dog leg left) at 230-290 so even pelting a driver away from them doesn’t help much.

[@lenahillring5433]

Thanks for a great review! Are the plugs affecting the feel and swingweight of the clubs (I think they are 7 grams each)? Is it something you can notice? Do you know if the grips with built-in sensors have the same extra weight in the tip end?

[@cartersmithgolf]

Thanks Lena, the Stubbs haven’t effected me other than just having that small extra plug in length. You very quickly get used to it and to be honest I actually miss them when I use another club. lol the grips are as normal and the swing weight is hardly effected.

[@lenahillring5433]

@@cartersmithgolf Thanks a lot!

[@ssmith954]

Thanks for sharing this, but a few comments/concerns: - I don't think you even mentioned the subscription model that Arccos recently moved to ... everyone else is doing it (Spotify, Netflix etc), but for this you still need to fork out a high cost for the hardware, and then spend $100 a year in order to have the privilege of using it. The subscription model is pretty inflexible too. - the Link device is a pretty cynical way of Arccos selling something extra (and for $130!) because of an initial design failure, which is the poor connection between the sensors and the phone. It's a bit sad to hear a reviewer describe it as "beautifully made" when all it's really doing is overcoming flawed electronics and making the consumer pay for the convenience of not having to play a round of golf with a phone in their pocket. - The grips with built in sensors seem a really bad idea for a regular player, who may typically regrip every 6-24 months. That means regularly spending a $100+ premium on top of the price of a standard regrip. - The sensors are claimed to be "designed to last 5 years" but curiously only guaranteed for 2 years, and the batteries are non-replaceable, even though they used to use replaceable batteries. That screams planned obsolescence and an extra cost to factor into the ongoing subscription cost. This was a nice product plug and useful demo but unfortunately a bit one-sided, although imagine you're getting some commission from the sales!

[@cartersmithgolf]

Hi Steve, I’ve used the same grip plugs for 3 years now and yes there is a yearly subscription but at £10/$10 per month i don’t think it’s at all expensive compared to say a new driver that would be nearly £500 and often only used for a couple of seasons. I think the link is a really nice addition to the family but for me I don’t use it as I’m really happy to have my phone in my pocket as I’m always using the app caddie feature which I think is really worth all the investment alone. The link seems to have been developed to catch that market that doesn’t want their phone in the pocket. I feel this is pretty good as you can take the option to not purchase this addition. To develop and maintain the technology in the “back end” I’m going to guess isn’t free so I would expect such a comprehensive utility to have some sort of cost. I’ve just done a review of the V1 app which has no hardware and a similar back end and the monthly’s are quite similar so this shows that these companies have some costs to cover. This is one review that I’m particularly happy with and I did work hard on it because I feel it’s the best piece of kit the progressive golfer can buy to help them know their game and improve. I literally wouldn’t play without it and would forego a new driver or set of irons to have this knowledge. It’s changed the way I see my game after 35 years and has given me added confidence knowing my percentage misses, strengths and weaknesses. When something has this impact after thinking you’ve seen it all you want to let as many people know as possible. Saying this it’s all very personal and dependant on people’s budgets and priorities. Thank you for your feedback and questions. 🙏🙏🙏

[@peterclark8387]

Hi Stuart, another very informative and professional review, especially as I had no idea these existed. One question are these allowed to be used in competitions ? I ask this because with a range finder, you must have the slope turned off, otherwise it illegal. It seems that this piece of kit gives you even more information than a range finder.

[@cartersmithgolf]

Hey Peter, it has a tournament mode that eliminates some of the illegal factors. Surprisingly things like weather etc stay on as that’s all ok. Slope is off as you rightly stated.

[@peterclark8387]

@@cartersmithgolf Hi Stuart, I am completely sold on this system, but watched your review again. I was thinking I could use it when practicing, but this is not what it is for - is it ? On a practice range I would be using range balls which are nothing like the Pro V1's I normally use, so would give me inaccurate distances and change my overall averages. A further question, when you played that 1st hole, the caddie said you have a 30% chance of hitting the green. Is that based on that specific course, or on data when using your 3 iron for that distance ?

[@cartersmithgolf]

@@peterclark8387 Hi Peter, this is not for the range, it tracks you wile you are out playing. For me that’s the place you need your stats taken as hitting a 7iron on the range is often very different to hitting one in the heat of battle etc. The percentage is taken from all the rounds you have had using the system. It then uses AI to calculate your actual chance of hitting a Certain shot and more importantly where you are most likely to miss. This means if there is water or a particular hazard you can pick a percentage shot that will give you your very best way of getting a good score.

Great review! Recently upgraded from a 30 yr old set of blades to some new P770’s so need to relearn my yardages. Does it factor in the balls you hit at a range or only when you link it to the course? Thanks!

[@cartersmithgolf]

That’s a great set of clubs Charlie good choice(you may find my latest video of some interest). It will only factor shots that you can hit a second shot from. If the range is like a practice fairway you can get measurements but obviously if it’s a standard range it won’t know how far they have gone out there. Saying this it will (in a handful of rounds) get you dialled in pretty quickly then constantly readjust as you play more and more shots with the same irons.
