REVIEW: If you don't already have ARCCOS, you should get it

ARCCOS website

Disclaimer -- I have only played one round with it, as I've been playing in scrambles and shite since then (and you don't want to use it for that, it'll ruin your stats). And this was my first round since pre-duck season, so there's are my excuse for the shite scorecard

Now that that is out of the way, on to the meat

This is the best golf tool I have ever bought. hands down.


14 sensors are screwed into the top of your grips. They are virtually weightless, and very unnoticeable in setup/swing. You pair each club/sensor to the ARCCOS app on your phone when you install them (one-time startup thing that takes about 10 mins-very straightforward)



The deal is, when you pull a certain club from your bag and take an IMPACT SWING (important, if you take multiple swings from one location [practice swings] ARCCOS automatically assumes they are practice swings and only registers 1 stroke[if you need to actually take a penalty or whatever you will have to enter that manually but it's super easy]) it registers the GPS location of that swing and the stroke on the hole. You move on to the next shot and pull the next club. ARCCOS uses the GPS from the next stroke to calculate TONS of stats on the previous stroke. and so on and so forth throughout the round.

I never had to check the app (unless I wanted to for gPS distances on the holes). ARCCOS pinged every club, every shot perfectly. Didn't miss a stroke, didn't add a wrong stroke or club even once.

You have to play with your phone in your front pocket. There is no tap, or entering or whatever for registering the club. The sensor and your phone talk via bluetooth so the phone needs to be in a good spot to get the ping. I hate playing with shite in my pockets, and after 2-3 holes I was cool with the phone there (and its a big as slice of bread iphone 7+).

The stats, holy shite, the stats. It's too much to spell out in a post. You need to dig into the website. I'll post screenshots from my dashboard (accessible via app and desktop) for you to digest and ask questions on specific details. Pay attention to the scorecard. All stats are kept for all rounds played. Everything is staticised for averages.
