just had a review of my figures over the last 20 rounds
Particularly looking at approach shots to the green

My wedges down to 8 iron are all showing about 60% within 15 yards of the center of the green , with about 25% short, hardly any long and a few left/right
So for the next few rounds, im going to club up on my approach shots and see what happens, I would like to reduce that short figure, but realize that the Long figure will increase a bit, but the overall aim is to get the 60% figure nearer to 75%

This will have a knock on effect on my GIR stats and hopefully my scores too

Bring it on :)
 
I looked at mine and thought the same but I tried this Friday and today the firmer greens and fairways seem to result in me being through the green so I'm going to to start clubbing the front of the and see what happens
 
Loaded my first two rounds. Not brilliant but they are what they are. One question, where and how do I see my overall scrambling stats and in particular sand saves? I know I made sand saves in both rounds but I can't go in and see how close it thinks all my bunker shots were in the same way I can with say shots from 150 yards

On the app, if you click 'insights' and then choose approach, you can filter lie types to sand...and it will pick it up. Obviously, I guess it knows you're in the sand from the tracked data...which is a nifty bit of coding

I tried that but it's not bringing anything up. When I look at the over view (http://www.gamegolf.com/my-rounds) it shows sand saves. If I go insights there's nothing (http://www.gamegolf.com/insights/approach-the-green) so it must know I've been in bunkers to show the sand saves initially. Very confused

If you go to the rounds section you get your overall stats for the round, the dashboard will show overall stats but not sand saves this is only in the rounds section on the PC not the app

So it doesnt track sand saves at all. Seems a bit of a let down as does the lack of scambling analysis. Will drop them an email and see if this is coming at a later date. Would be good to drill into this sort of data in more detail

Agree, they are pretty good if you post the suggestion on the user forum that may well add it.

One thing I think is harsh is that GG always takes your third shot on a Par 4 etc. as your scrambling shot. To me if you had to hack out of the trees and still have 150 yards to go your not scrambling but if your 50 yards from the green after duffing your second you are likewise if you just miss the green then to me this is scrambling. So I think my scrambling looks much worse than it is as we have a few par 4's that are hard to reach in two hence to GG I am always scrambling on these holes when to me I am laying up
 
So...I'm charging my unit for tomorrow and I have allocated my clubs to the tags on the account online (not put tags physically into clubs yet). So I need to do anything else apart from switch on the unit before the first tee and stick in the tags??? And hope for a dry evening tomorrow :D
 
No just switch it on a couple of minutes before you tee off. While it is acquiring the satellites, a red light will flash, after that has gone out your good to go. Enjoy
 
Curious now as to how putts will be counted in regards to putting from off the green? Which I tend to do every now and again but have only keep a count of putts from on the green in StrokeSaver2

I assume you tag as normal but will that be counted as a putt as it is from off the green or can you sort this when you edit?

Ta
 
Yeah you can edit afterwards, if the putt is just off the green GG tends to see it on the green, but it's just a case of clicking a tab to register it off the green. I also use SS2, it's a good double check when editing the round
 
I had never heard of this device until finding this thread last Thursday, ordered a brand new one from Ebay (£121.95) last Friday, itcame yesterday and I sneaked a crafty 6 holes in before dark. All I will say is what a brilliant gadget :)

If it has one downside its that it has to be plugged into laptop/pc to sync. But that is only a minor gripe.

Think I will grab another 9 holes tonight :)
 
I sent a feature suggestion in about being able to select a shot type, because I use my 9 iron a lot around the green for pitches and it's proper screwing up the distance stats. I said;

I use my 9 iron a lot around the green from within 30 yards or less to pitch and run (sometimes more successfully than others). This however really skews my 9-iron yardages, so I thought the ability to say what sort of shot was played may be helpful when editing the round, i.e. Full Swing, Half Swing, Pitch Shot etc. You could then see your true full swing iron shots and ignore the short pitches and chips onto the green from close in.
They responded saying,

Thank you for your time and support.

We are working hard on the club performance feature, For Chip shots relative to your club performance distances, you’ll find that between 3-5 rounds, the system eliminates any outliers from your club performance and takes your “typical” shot distance as how far you can expect to hit each shot. The club performance uses a standard deviation calculation, so after you get a couple more rounds in the system, the shorter shots will effectively not be counted.

That said, we are currently investigating ways to make your club performance more effective after your first round. As you can imagine there are several ways to do this, we are just trying to figure out which is best.

We hope to have an upgrade to this feature soon.

This is why I use one of the spare tags for chip shots/punches etc. That way I can be sure I am only looking at full shot data which is what I want.
