![]() ![]() Shot Scope has mapped over 36,000 courses and can update their database within 48 hours to reflect course changes. Since not everyone is familiar with Shot Scope, I’m going to cover the Shot Scope X5 from a fresh perspective, but I will give particular attention to the new features.Īt its most basic, the Shot Scope X5 is a GPS watch. This will improve your short game and putting data. You don’t need to do anything to track your shots, but you do have the option of using PinCollect to mark the exact location of the hole. There are 36,000 courses pre-loaded on the Shot Scope X5, and the closest ones will automatically show on the screen when you select “Play Golf.” In Golf Mode, you can use the X5 for GPS + Tracking or GPS only. The 1.2″ color screen is bright and easy to read. You can choose whether you scroll through menus with the touchscreen or the spinning button. The buttons generally operate as forward/select and back. The Shot Scope X5 works with two buttons – one of which spins – and a touchscreen. You might notice this extra weight on your clubs if you were Tiger Woods, but you’re not Tiger Woods. Also, despite the size difference, they weigh just 3 grams, the same as the old tags. While the new tags do stand a little “taller” on the grip, they don’t interfere in any way with your swing. The old and new tags are interchangeable, so you can use new tags with old devices or vice versa. As you can see above, the new tags are slightly larger and thicker than the old tags. The Shot Scope X5 comes with tags that are different from previous versions. Once your X5 is charged, pair it with your app and go through the simple set-up process. ![]() Each tag is labeled, so there’s no need to pair them to your phone or the watch. While you’re waiting, screw the tags into your clubs. After unboxing the components, plug the X5 in to get a full charge. Setting up the Shot Scope X5 takes only a few minutes. After having it on the course, I can tell you that they found numerous ways to raise the bar again. As a huge fan of V3, I was curious what Shot Scope would change to make the new X5 meaningfully better. With each new iteration, V2 and V3, they’ve made substantial improvements that genuinely impact the golfer’s experience. ![]() I’ve been using Shot Scope since the original – a “watch” with no screen at all. Useful new features and an intuitive interface. The Shot Scope X5 watch gives the game’s best shot tracking system the premium look and feel it deserves. ![]()
