Game Golf Live Purchase

wrspoon · June 30, 2016

I've decided that my next golf purchase will be a digital tracking system. I'm leaning toward the Game Golf system as opposed to Arccos because the sensors are smaller, don't require batteries and are inexpensive to replace. Is there any reason I might regret this decision in favor of Arccos?

I have not tried one yet, but am I picking one up on the weekend and will be testing it out. Will let you know how I like it once I do.

I have an Arccos on the way. The biggest thing in favor of Arccos on the surface is the lack of having to tag your clubs before each shot. Tagging was going to be a deal breaker for me. Can't speak to the actual differences between software, etc

I'm a GG user, love it. Tagging is part of the routine now. In fact, the other day I forget my GG, and found myself trying to "tag" the shot without wearing the unit... it was very unsettling.

My buddy has the Arrcos, and he screws around with it all the time. He says you cannot edit your shots on the website. If that's true, that would be a major bummer in my book (he might be wrong). He lost one of the sensors, and they were not cheap to replace. They're big too.

From what I've seen the Arrcos website is better than the GG site.

I got the GG Live from my wife for Christmas and I am a big fan of the tech, seeing true yardages is a game changer. I have not used the Arrcos system, but I have been extremely happy with my GG unit. I broke the belt clip the other day and asked them on twitter if they had any suggestions for repairs and they sent me a note to email them. I shot them an email and they had me a replacement clip in 3 days.

Thanks for all the feedback. Looks like most are happy with either choice.

I'll probably pull the trigger this weekend also. The price I see is $199. Have you found any deals for the 4th?

I love Gama Golf ! I upgraded to the Live. The other system I avoided because several others have had trouble right from the first round with battery issues. Tapping was supper easy to make part of pre-shot routine. Another thing I wasn't to keen on Trying the Arccos for driver for $100 if you like it you got no discount on the rest of the unit. Good luck !! Go GG and you will have rounds of happiness. Oh did I mention that GG is great tool for finding your weaknesses ;-)

I have the Game Golf Live system. I did upgrade from the original product.

I really like the Game Golf system and the LIVE part makes is better since i can review and edit my round (or actually confirm my shots) real-time without editing after the fact.

The key to Game Golf is learning to integrate tagging the shot as part of your routine. I continue to hear about people who struggle with that, but it hasn't been an issue to me.

In fact, I think the very act of tagging my shot has improved my game. As I get ready for a shot, I pull my club, tag it, and walk into my stance. The act of tagging formalizes my club selection. I am not over the ball thinking about if I have the right club, since I have already decided what and how to hit it.

I can't compare the stats to the other system since I have never used it, but Game Golf gives me enough information to decide what I need to focus my practice time on.

For example, I have always felt my putting was very good and Game Golf confirmed that. I also always thought I missed the majority of my greens to the left (I tend to draw the ball, so my miss is left)...this wasn't the case. Game Golf showed me that my miss is short.

I have since started to club myself up on the irons I was short with and I am hitting more greens then ever (moved fro about 40% GIR to 60% GIR).

I haven't played a ton with the "strokes gained" stats, but the insight to my game has helped reduce my handicap from a 7 to a 5.

Great feedback. Thanks

I've been using the game golf app run from my pebble watch. I already had the watch so it's a free setup. I need to manually select clubs when I make my shot but it's quick and easy.

My stats have helped my game a ton. I've dropped from a 20 to a 16 since I started checking my stats and using those to improve my game.
