    Shot Scope V5

    Not as far as I know. They told me at Christmas they were not going to be getting any more in.

    Shot Scope V5

    I don't even know why they still advertise the strap on the website any more. It just makes you think they'll be coming back into stock at some stage. If you were to get a V5, I would keep using the V3 tags as long as possible. It will increase the longevity of the V5 and make it more saleable...

    Shot Scope V5

    My strap packed up in December. I went to purchase a new one, but they were out of stock and they told me they would not be stocking them anymore. They offered me an H4 at a discount, so I opted to get one.

    Shot Scope V5

    I've had a V2 (obsolete) V3 (RFID in strap broke and couldn't be replaced) an X5 (too fiddly) and now have an H4. Out of all of them, the H4 is probably the best, and most accurate once you get into the habit of tagging every shot. If I hadn't got the H4, I probably would have got the V5. It...

    Shot tracking devices

    As I mentioned, I've got a V3 and an H4. I take them out on the course together as the V3 track functionality has packed up, but it's quicker to use it to get distances than get the H4 out of my pocket. Usually they show the same distances to the green and hazards. But occasionally, the V3 will...

    Shot tracking devices

    I understand there's a Shotscope V5 coming soon. It will be an update of the V3, but will look like the X5 without the touchscreen.

    Shot tracking devices

    I used a Shotscope V3 until the RFID in the strap broke and it stop tracking shots. Now have an H4 which is much better in that if you remember to tag your club on every shot, it buzzes and never misses a shot. Even the putting is more accurate, but not perfect. Remembering to tag the clubs is a...

    Anyone good with colour?

    I agree. Just need to make sure it's not too imposing when put on a large area.

    Playing TOC St Andrews

    If I was a good golfer and I was only going to play it once in my lifetime, then absolutely I would pay £320. However I'm not, so would rather play 2 or 3 pretty decent courses for the same money. Having said that, I played TOC, New and Jubilee for £190 in November in good weather (no rain) and...

    Spray for grip tackyness?

    As others have said, they seem to regain their tackiness when cleaned. So the simple answer for the op would be to carry a wet towel with him and wipe them down after every shot.

    More swing videos! Tell me why I'm so trash!

    My tuppence worth, having not watched your swings, but read some of your comments above. You just don't seem bothered/committed enough to solving any issues. You don't like hitting balls at the range, but do it because you think it will help. You won't get a lesson, which is just as well...

    Have you tried dry shampoo? It's 1/3 of the price

    Celebs who’ve passed

    Not really a celeb but a Chelsea player from the late 60s/early 70s, Tommy Baldwin. According to Wikipedia: 'It was thought that Baldwin was known as 'the sponge' for his ability, under pressure, to hold the ball and shield it skilfully from opponents while seeking an opening to set up an...

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    Really? I've been a member for a few years and nobody's ever told me that! I always get the first anyway when playing in club matches and with guests, so I haven't broken that rule, luckily.
