I've watched the video and looked at some reports from links on here and I'm close on pulling the trigger on 1 of these, the stats it gives on each of your clubs looks very good and interesting but, I can't find anywhere how it knows what course your on, do you have to download it somehow each course your play or do you only use it at your home course or do you wirelessly find the course once their like a GPS.

Can someone give me a quick once over on the operation of it please and more importantly, is it still as useful to you now to when you first bought it or has the novelty worn of, as can happen with a lot of golfing gadgets.

Cheers.

Ive had mina month or so and have got 7 rounds registered.

It's just starting to come into its own in terms of the recording of stats, I think the more rounds you register the better the stats feedback is. You can also compare your stats to benchmarks for different scoring bands, so for example if you are looking to get to single figures you can compare your ectual stats for FIR, GIR, Scrambling, Sand Saves, Putts per round etc against the benchmark stats for players in general shooting scratch, 72-75, 75-80 etc.

It's very easy to use, entering your rounds afterwards is easy after the first couple of goes, and the unit is GPS based so you just switch it on 10 mins before you tee off and it knows where you are.

Great for practice rounds as you dont need to keep a scorecard. Also means you can look back on any round at any point in the future.

If anyone is interested or just curious you can download Game Golf to your PC/Mac and have an account, you don't need a device to join.
You can then "follow" any one on here and see there stats etc and see what it does,
Then any questions you have from that could be answered.

Thanks for the info!
 
Hey Robin,

Had mine in play for 4 rounds now. It's just starting to come together and can only improve over the course of the season..

My aim is to keep updating it for the next few months (another 20-30 rounds), then to use it to pinpoint where I can best lose another few shots with targeted practice.. It's not a miracle cure, but if it knocks 2-3 shots off my handicap by showing where my bag set up is wrong, or which holes require which shots from the tee, then it's well worth it..

It's also enlightening with regards to distance.. One thing I've learned is that my Driver is very inconsistent (210 - 270 yards).. My 1 Hybrid is much more consistent (215-225 yards).. Next time I have a tricky tee shot I know which club to use.. I've also learned that I was wrong when I thought that I was predominantly hitting left off the tee.

I really like it TBH..
 
Thank you everyone, I will be looking for the best price and pulling the trigger next weekend.

It all looks pretty locked down at £159 everywhere I've looked so far, will ask my pro if he can get it in and do something, he'd rather make a few quid than see me buy it somewhere else. Usually when prices are seen like this its because its a very low margin return to the retailer so they can't afford to reduce it.

I'll let you know, won't be for a another week though.
 
Really thinking about purchasing one of these. Have a game on monday with a guy who uses it so looking forward to seeing what he says on it. Can i edit my stats from an ipad? I do not have a computer at home.

Got mine on eBay, brand new still sealed in the box, for 125, so if you're lucky there are bargains out there
 
You need a PC/Mac to upload your round, this can't be done on an iPad/tablet. Once uploaded I think you can edit your round on an iPad/tablet which is no help if you have not got a computer

They'll do it for £152 in ag. Just press the challenge us on the website. Only a little saving I know, but it's better in yours.
