NEW: Arccos Golf Adds Strokes Gained Analysis

Shot tracking systems have become an invaluable piece of technology for every golfer. Whether you’re just looking to ditch the scorecard or conduct your own post-round analysis, it cannot be understated how valuable it is to track each shot during every round.

So to help users from identify their strengths and weaknesses, Arccos is launching its newest addition to the Caddie App: Arccos Caddie Strokes Gained Analytics (SGA), a new feature that will provide players with the most advanced personalized insights in the game.

 

There’s a chance you’ve probably heard of “strokes gained” while watching PGA Tour coverage, usually after Bryson bombs a drive 50 yards past the field. The idea underlying this pseudo-statistic is that is looks to provide a better method to measure performance than raw scores because it compares a player’s performance to the rest of the field and can isolate individual aspects of the game (e.g., performance off-the-tee, on approach shots, around the green, and putting).

Accordingly, SGA is the first platform to allow a player to select any target handicap–from Tour player to 20–and measure their performance versus that goal across every game facet. After selecting a target, Arccos Caddie SGA will show a player’s overall game stats with trend and scoring analysis.

In addition, SGA not only supports deep dives for all performance segments by each round or customizable periods, it automatically highlights a player’s top-3 strengths and weaknesses and provides tips from world-class instructors to help any golfer play smarter and shoot lower scores.

“This is a significant leap forward in golf analytics. Finally amateurs will have easy access to SGA insights that are better than what is available to most Tour pros. This is only possible due to the power of our custom A.I. neural network fueled by the largest on-course dataset in the world.” said Sal Syed, Arccos Co-Founder and CEO. “The beauty of our new SGA platform is we take complex data and simplify it. The result is unmatched personalized insights for golfers of all skill levels – as well as their coaches and clubfitters. With this information they will be on a clear path to improvement like never before.”

Some of the many powerful features in the Arccos Caddie app at no additional cost to members, SGA segments include:

  • Overall: Top 3 Insights, Trend Analysis, Scoring Analysis
  • Driving: Overall, Distance, Accuracy, Hole Length, Hole Shape
  • Approach: Overall, Pin Distance (50-100, 100-150, 150-200, 200+ yards), Terrain (Tee (Par 3), Fairway, Rough, Sand), Greens in Regulation (GIR %, Avg. Distance to Pin, Miss Tendencies)
  • Short Game: Overall, Chip by Pin Distance (0-25, 25-50 yards), Chip Accuracy (Avg. Distance to Pin, Up & Down %), Sand by Pin Distance (0-25, 25-50 yards), Sand Accuracy (Avg. Distance to Pin, Up & Down %)
  • Putting: Overall, Putting by Hole, Putting by Length (0-10, 10-25, 25-50, 50+ feet), Avg. Putts/Round, Putts/Hole, Putts/GIR

Available immediately in the Arccos Caddie app, SGA comes hot off the release launch of Arccos’ first wearable – Arccos Caddie Link.

Link—an ultralight device allows Arccos players to capture their shot data without having to carry a smartphone on the course—is compatible with iPhone and Android devices, and seamlessly pairs with the Arccos Caddie app and sensors.

Instead of playing with your phone in your pocket, Link is simply worn on a player’s belt, waistband or pocket and it tracks shots in real time–including the club used and precise location. The data is then automatically transferred to your smartphone via Bluetooth, either during or after the round. As a result, Link allows you to still track every shot from your round, but without having to carry your phone around on you (which is perfect for the guy who looks to play undisturbed by a barrage of emails, text messages and other stuff). PLUS, Link also allows golfers to now play music from their phone.

It’s worth noting that in 2019, the average Arccos Caddie user who played at least 5 rounds lowered their handicap by a remarkable 4.2 strokes.

MORE. THAN. FOUR. STROKES.
