Arccos Link: Track Your Golf Game Without Your Phone, Compatible with Arccos Smart Sensors & Arccos Smart Grips

What can I say about this item. This is one of the best or the best item that has assusted in improving my game. It showed my faults and I started working on them snd the improvements were there. I will recommend it. It is value for money.

It is not perfect. Sometimes it will disconnect it often does not get every hole accurately for the amount of clubs or what distance you were hitting a Club. I really bought them to help me understand how far I hit each club I'm a new golfer, so for that purpose they're working, but if I had to use the system to score every round, you really have to check it after every hole because you'll be missing shots or have too many shots. It is a little picky that way.

The sensors for each club are great, having a phone in your pocket the entire time isn't. This device allows me to play the game I want using the Arrcos system, the link is on my left hip (righty golfer) and it gets the GPS data and impact. My games have been spot on and having this means I can just play and go back later to deal with the data. This is a must have IMO if you have the sensors - I wouldn't do it otherwise.

I suspect that I'm not alone as both units I received (one was a replacement for the first unit) had the security seal on the packaging opened so I suspect both had been previously returned. That said, I've been using my watch for the previous 7 months. It is about 90% accurate, so typically a little tweaking post round to get it correct. The primary issue is how taxing Arccos is on the battery. If I don't begin the round with a full charge, it typically dies before the final few holes. I picked up the Link with high hopes. Tried the first unit and it was off over a dozen shots. Given it was previously opened and significantly off, I exchanged the unit. The second unit was off even more. Actually posted over 20 shots fewer than actually scored. Interestingly, there was no consistency to the errors. It was just missing putts or chips, which might make sense if it wasn't catching a softer hit/noise ball strike. I had holes that had 3 extra chips (no I wasn't dropping clubs to the ground, or violating any of the best practices). Other holes where Arccos thinks I drove the par 5 green and one putted. I checked around hole 4 and saw it was significantly off, so I left it alone for the entire round. It was so far off that it was unsalvageable and impossible to accurately fix. So what this has done is now skew all my distances, etc., because it has recorded many shots that are simply inaccurate. So with garbage in/garbage out, I know that any "insights" or distances, etc., are not correct. Note that many media outlets publish or refer to Arccos data as "the average xx yr old male hits his drive xxx yards" and many other statistics, which you can take with many grains of salt. My initial subscription ends in October and won't be renewed. Maybe the tech will catch up, but frankly, the Link is NOT ready for prime time and the Arccos system itself provides less value than it costs, so I'll be tossing the tags in the trash in October (fortunately, those were free through PING). If you purchase LINK and receive a previously opened unit, chances are it's one of the two I returned. Good luck . . .

I find that for me this works better clipped to the outside of my pocket. Doesn’t come off during my swing as so far it hasn’t missed a shot.

Not perfect but you can get insight on yardages for each club if you accumulate at least 10 rounds. After the first free year they require you to pay about $150 a year to continue learning about your clubs. They do let you continue to use your initial information just can't get new information with our the yearly payment. Good for the rich professional.

Had to replace the damaged one from being washed. It works great.

I had previously had issues. I reached out to Arccos. After a couple of days they returned my email with some trouble shooting steps that resolved my problems. Very appreciative.

Great trade

Make sure you do not cover with clothing. It works great so far. Played 72 holes with minor adjustments.

Very easy to install and more information than I’ll ever need. The accompanying app does burn through battery life. I added the Link interface which was reduced in price. That was the tipping point leading me to buy.

Appalling service in getting a refund for this hopeless Link product, which is NOT fit for purpose... don't waste your time and money. Arccos received my return over 2 weeks ago and still no sign of a refund. I've chased them and Amazon twice now, but still nothing. My worst Amazon experience in 10 years.
