Question for ShotScope users (X5/V5)

horgo99 · April 16

Can I ask a question to those that have used either/both of the ShotScope X5 and V5 watches? I’m tossing up getting one (probably V5 at this point) and as I understand it the difference between the X5 and V5 can be summed up as such:

- touchscreen vs buttons

- personalised distances overlaid on hole map from the tee for 3 longest clubs on X5 vs just distances overlaid on hole map on V5

- anecdotally, potentially better battery on V5 (likely due to not having to power touch screen)

- metal bezel vs plastic (frankly, who cares)

My question regards the 2nd point - I get the X5 shows your average distance say with driver overlaid on a hole map and the V5 doesn’t, but can you get this information with the ShotScope “University” or whatever they call their online stats/app that you get access to when you have a ShotScope product? As I understood it, that app/program is designed to show you overlays of both dispersion and distance for every club in your bag on Google map type overviews of each hole to help you plan your rounds and aiming points, is that correct?

essentially - can I use the shotscope platform to get overlays of my clubs on hole maps with the V5 as long as I do it on my computer afterwards? Difference being it’s on me to have a look at their platform rather then just having it automatically show on my wrist (or of course, knowing my numbers and judging vs the map itself)? And did I miss any other differences?

thanks guys

I believe the part on their app that I am referring to above is called “MyStrategy”. Shotscope University is for coaches to look at students data I think. Sorry for the confusion!

This video does a good job comparing the two watches and shows how the full map feature is different: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ptT9L8A7rc
