TECH: Arccos Releases Updated Gen 2 LINK

Arccos Golf is going full speed into the 2022 golf season. Just days after releasing the Third Generation of the Arccos Caddie Sensors and all-new Putter Sensor, Arccos is now debuting a new and improved Link to meet growing demand for its automatic shot tracking wearable first introduced two years ago.

Designed to be worn on a player’s belt, waistband or pocket the new Arccos Link (GEN 2) offers golfers the next level tech for the next level of performance, thanks to the capacity to automatically record shots without having to carry a phone on the course.

As well as its sleeker look and improved clip functionality, the new device incorporates advanced microphone enhancements with GORE protective vents to deliver the most reliable, high quality shot tracking performance in golf.

Sal Syed, Arccos CEO and Co-Founder said:

“When we launched Link back in 2020 it gave golfers the freedom to play golf without their phone and still get their powerful data. It was a game-changer and helped us to achieve explosive growth worldwide… Now, with technical improvements the new Link is even better. More golfers will play the game their way, with or without their phone and be able to harness personal on course data, understand strengths and weakness leading to faster improvement and more fun,“ he added.

The powerful weather-resistant device weighs less than an ounce (25 grams) and is smaller in length than a bank card, measuring approximately 2.25” in length, 1.25” in width and 0.75” deep.

The GEN 2 Link boasts a battery life of up to 10 hours—more than 2 rounds of golf—that can be quickly charged via a micro-USB cable. And by using Link, players can extend their phone battery life by up to 25%.

Once paired with the Arccos Caddie app, Smart Sensors seamlessly sync with the lightweight wearable to provide golfers with the ability to track shots in real time. Link then automatically transfers scoring data to the phone app via Bluetooth, either during or after the round depending on player preference.

Arccos members using Link can either keep their phone in a golf bag, cart, trolley or back pocket for quick access to the game’s first A.I. powered rangefinder and Caddie advice. Players can also use their phone to listen to music, take calls or videos during the round.

Additional functionality of Link includes the option for a player to mark the exact hole location on the green with a simple push of main button when standing next to the pin. This provides more accurate putting insights and pinpoints areas for player improvement via the exclusive Strokes Gained Analytics software. Arccos has also expanded the remote programmable features of Link, so it will always provide the most current shot tracking models – something previously unavailable with the original device.

Compatible with iPhone and Android devices, the new Link retails at $150. Gen3+ Smart Sensors are sold separately and comes with the first year membership. Successive years are billed annually for $13 per month.

Both the Arccos system and the Arccos Link wearable are permitted under the Rules of Golf (USGA Decision Numbers 2018-0414 and 2020-0305).
