<\/a><\/p>\nIntroduction<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re new to the game of golf or been playing since golf clubs were made almost entirely of wood, you likely know that golf is a game of inches.\u00a0 So, when you\u2019re dealing with such small margins, you can understand why stat tracking, even for the amateur player, has become so prevalent in the sport.<\/p>\n
This is where Arccos comes in.\u00a0 Started in 2012 by Yale graduate Sal Syed, Arccos began as a shot tracking company that used a smart phone and club sensors to track your round.\u00a0 Over time, they got rid of needing your smart phone in your pocket by incorporating several generations of the Arccos Link [review HERE<\/a>].\u00a0 Now Arccos is now able to rid players of the club sensors with their new Arccos Air.\u00a0 You read that right \u2013 no more club sensors.\u00a0 Just one single device that Plugged In Golf is among the first to review.<\/p>\n Set Up & Ease of Use<\/p>\n For those of you who have used any version of the Arccos Link Pro like me, setup will be minimal.\u00a0 You may need an app update if you haven\u2019t already downloaded the latest version, but there\u2019s effectively no setup difference from previous Link Pro products.\u00a0 For those who have never used an Arccos product before, I\u2019ll outline the entire process below.<\/p>\n To begin, I used the included charging port and USB-C cable to charge the Arccos Air to 100%.\u00a0 While I was waiting for the device to charge, I downloaded the Arccos app, created a profile, and added details on all my clubs.\u00a0 While you can spend quite some time customizing everything, you don\u2019t necessarily need all this done before starting your first round.\u00a0 Once charged, an on\/off switch on the side of the device prompted the app to recognize and easily connect via bluetooth.\u00a0 From there, I was ready for my round.<\/p>\n Once on the course, I selected the starting hole, tee box, and whether I was playing in an official tournament or not, then I started my round.\u00a0 The whole setup is intuitive and user friendly.\u00a0 After initiating the round on the first tee, you can put the device in your pocket and forget it until you walk off the 18th green.<\/p>\n After the round, the app may require a few edits, which I will cover more later on.\u00a0 Once all the edits are complete, the round generates a stats page which allows you to compare your round to a selected handicap.\u00a0 In my case, I compare my rounds to a scratch golfer (0.0 index) which is easy to toggle to different levels.\u00a0 The app provides a seemingly endless amount of data including strokes gained on each part of your game.\u00a0 Arccos even offers tips for the areas that you struggle with. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n Accuracy & Performance<\/p>\n As I mentioned earlier, even without club sensors, the Arccos Air registered 99% of the shots I took.\u00a0 I am impressed that it picked up as many shots as it did.\u00a0 Even with the club sensors, Arccos would occasionally miss a shot, so this is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n With that said, I did have to do some regular post round cleanup because despite picking up every shot, it did not always pick the correct club.\u00a0 After a few rounds, I calculated an 80-90% accuracy rate for club selection.\u00a0 The errors are easy to understand.\u00a0 For example, I was 100 yards out from the green but under some trees, so I needed a low shot to stay below the branches.\u00a0 Even though I used a seven iron, Arccos Air tagged it as my 54 degree wedge.<\/p>\n In another situation, I hit a hybrid from the fairway but it clipped a tree and came straight down about 50 yards in front of me.\u00a0 Arccos Air still recognized that I hit a hybrid.\u00a0 While I was skeptical of no club sensors at first, I am pleasantly surprised how often it got the club correct.<\/p>\n One thing that changed for the Arccos Air is the pin flag button.\u00a0 If you read my review of the Arccos Link Pro, I was critical of the actual button in that it didn\u2019t give much feedback.\u00a0 I am happy to see they improved the button in the Arccos Air so you feel a definitive \u201cclick\u201d when standing over the cup. Knowing that all the pins are correctly located just makes life easier when reviewing a round.<\/p>\n On the app, one feature that stood out was the 3D view.\u00a0 This is a new feature which can be seen in the screenshots below.\u00a0 Since I regularly use the Arccos app as a GPS both before and during rounds, I found this to be particularly helpful when playing a new course or prepping for tournaments.\u00a0 The latest update also provides heat maps for green complexes, providing valuable data when evaluating an approach shot or a putt. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n Value<\/p>\n Arccos Air retails for $349.\u00a0 There is also a yearly subscription fee of $199 which is waived for the first year.\u00a0 If you already have the Arccos Link Pro, you don\u2019t need to purchase Arccos Air to get all the same features and functionality, including tossing out the club sensors.<\/p>\n This price is at the top end for shot tracking systems.\u00a0 Shot Scope\u2019s V5 costs $250 and has no annual fee [review HERE<\/a>].\u00a0 The benefit is that Arccos Air allows you to be\u00a0hands free, with no watch on your wrist or sensors on your clubs. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/p>\n The new Arccos Air is the latest and greatest from one of the most prominent shot tracking companies in golf.\u00a0 It completely eliminates club sensors for a set it and forget it type of experience. \u00a0Plus, it adds all new AI tools to help players make better and more informed decisions on the golf course.
