I got my cobra driver regripped because the shotscope offers way more stats and its free. Shotscope have changed the game with this device. Great review
I tried a buddy’s who has one and it doesn’t feel like premium like a Bushnell or Cobalt. The optics aren’t all that great either. But for the price, it’s not bad and you get the detachable GPS as well. The golf tracking is nice but it does have to be tapped for every shot.
Gabe, I’ve been following you for at least a year, so I can say your videos and your gameplay (especially consistent drives) are really improved! I hope to see years more content!
Thanks so much David. Right now after hitting all these drivers for the battles my driving is an A+ it seems. Need to hone my irons in though. Golf is always a work in progress. Appreciate the kind words!
Yes the fact that you can have either or both makes it very appealing to me. And being able to buy separately should help a lot of folks too. Thanks Mark.
Great review…my second time watching as I’m looking for a GPS/laser unit. Currently testing the Z82 and have the R1 in the mail to test…curious…how do you know your Nikon is spot on? Have you had it actually measured? If so, how do you do that?
I ordered mine on Monday, can't wait to test it out! I assume that I do not have to wear the device (clipped to cart?) and I can still get the feedback that the h4 offers?
Thanks for the amazing video Gabe! I got hooked on golf like 5 months ago and I’ve enjoyed all your videos and now product reviews. I just ordered my first range finder with a nice discount thanks to you. Keep at it!
Thanks so much for this excellent review, Gabe! I ordered mine from Play Better over the weekend and it should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out. I've been using GolfPad, but will not need to re-up my subscription now that I'll have the ShotScope. More later... once I've had an opportunity to try this out on the course. Thanks again Gabe... keep the great reviews and helpful videos!
Thanks for the video, really insightful. For the shot tracking you always need to have the sensor on the clubs or can you manual input which club you are hitting?
Great review/video. shot scope seems to be a better platform compared to Arcoss which I had from 2017 to early last year. I found Arcoss to be too cumbersome and the sensors are too bulky and throw off the swing-weights by up to 2 points. Sold all my sensors and the link on eBay last year and bought a slightly used Bushnell Hybrid Laser/GPS which has been great. I get 2 full rounds off the charge for the GPS portion and the Laser last all year with a replaceable battery If I go ShotScope I’m goin to go V3 with the watch. I can’t see tapping my clubs on every shot, another cumbersome method and I’m sure I’ll forget to tap a few shots per round. And that’s a no bueno!
Glad I found your channel. Just started playing in the Tampa area so perfect relatable information. I'm awash with choices and appreciate your insights. My pro is a big fan of range finders hence my search for current products. I was all set on the Bushnell and then you publish this... the GPS looks very cool. On a side note I was thinking where one can not attach the tag to a particular club one could keep that tag in a pocket. There doesn't seem to be any reason it has to be attached to a club, does there? Well done videos.
So I don’t really think I would like wearing a watch on my wrist or a device on my hip the whole round while I golfed but also want to track my shots. If I was to leave the gps attached to the range finder would you find it annoying whenever you had to clip it back on your every hole when you got close to the greens where you can’t drive a cart?
Great video Gabe. Wish I didn't just buy a new rangefinder. Are you still using the Sacks Parente putter? Which model is it? I have been looking the website over, giving it a lot of thought.
Gabe... Did or would it take longer to go thru all of the hazards? If you hadn't played that course before. You didnt really go thru any lay ups on the course. Or Bunkers. Would you compare the Garmin Z82 and s60, s62 watches.
Gabe another great video, another awesome piece of tech, I still have not gotten to use the one I won earlier last year. It is 65 today but no open courses, still to much ground water. Looking nice there in FL. Hoping one of these days to live there more sooner then later.
Hey Gabe….for the issue with the Cobra grips. I found out that the little Arccos sensor can be removed from the grip. Then, the hole is there to screw in the sensor for your club tracking.
@@LetsPlayThru very useful. I experiment with grips all the time so I like to blow the grips on and off with a compressor. Discovered it while doing that.
Very cool! My Leupold just STB after 12 years…so, looking for a new rangefinder. The club tracking is interesting. I used an old device that required tapping a device, might have been made by the same company…but it was just a club tracker…Not sure I need all the Plus features as I use the Arccos grips and tracking…if I get it without the GPS device, does that mean I don’t get the club tracking, because I don’t need that part…As for your situation with the Cobra driver, with an older system that I was testing, what I did was just had a piece of cardboard attached to my bag with the screw tops screwed into it and labeled, and then just tapped the appropriate screw top with the club I was using instead of attaching them to my clubs…I prefer the Arccos system since I would often forget to tap the sensor on my sensor…
I’m not sure I get it. So you have to tap your club each and every time you hit a club to get data? Seems like a pain in the neck. Would also be good to have seen what the data looks like coming out of the input from each club and how you diagnose weak spots.
Been waiting for this review. Main question is, how is it powered? Battery, USB, is the tile being powered by the range finder? Expected time between recharges/battery life. ,👍👍
Rangefinder itself uses a CR2, which to me is great because I don’t have to worry about charging. The H4 unit does charge via USB. I’ll update on battery life of the H4 as I use it more.
Looks awesome. Would love a comparison between this and the Precision Pro R1. I bought the R1 as it’s a range finder but then their app allows it to be a GPS device and with a toggle on the device you can go back and forth. Also this one takes into account the local weather for distance. Crazy how detailed these devices can get.
For all skill levels, the free Shot Scope app allows the golfer to track their performance over time and analyse areas for improvement. Compare your game against other handicaps to understand your strengths and weaknesses. This can also help you set goals or targets going forward. Free updates and no subscription.
Read video really enjoyed it the one thing I’m concerned about is when the GPS is attached to the rangefinder are you able to get your eye on there perfectly because I’m concerned like if the bridge of your nose will affect on getting a reading through the scope
I think you’re meant to select your puts while you are standing next to the flag so it can give you proximity stats. Also it would have been 2 putts on the first hole as your first putt was off the green.
Did my man just admit to 3-putting and then hit the "2" button? hahaha. I do have a question about "collect pins." It's my understanding that you need to do this at the hole, rather than on next tee box or in cart or something. I think It needs to be "collected" as close to pin as possible to use the data for shot tracking. Is this not correct?
I don't like the clicking of the clubs b4 you hit because you will forget to do so many times. I have the Shot Scope V3 watch and it has never missed a club reading, it does it automatically and also my putting hits,no need to clicking. Also the Shot Scope V3 tracks all your stats and more importantly, it doesn't have the rip- off annual subscriptions like arcos o cobra connect or golf simulators which is the reason I haven't buy any subscription based items. Shot Scope products are awesome and amazing prices. Great review like always 👍
@@LetsPlayThru mine as well in my F9 five wood. Took a prying, it’s in there with a light adhesive but when it comes out you have the typical grip hole to screw into with the tag.

Hi…what is the other model range finder you are using in this review as your baseline?
great review - thanks! if you have to take a penalty can you input that into the gps shot counter?
Have you ever tried lab golf putters? I just ordered the Mezz.1 on a leap of faith but there’s very limited reviews on it. BGT Fire shaft.
I'll look into them, thanks
@lets play Thru, do you just tap your putter for it to track your putting distance like the other clubs?
So I don’t really think I would like wearing a watch on my wrist or a device on my hip the whole round while I golfed but also want to track my shots. If I was to leave the gps attached to the range finder would you find it annoying whenever you had to clip it back on your every hole when you got close to the greens where you can’t drive a cart?
* back on your waist every hole
Thanks for doing this, do you know if the sensor can track bad/chunked/thinned shots? Or is there an app where you can see all the data
Yes, it connects to the Shot Scope app, and you can add or remove shots there
Have to review the app software that goes along with the Lx+.. For example, do you have to tap the H4 for multiple puts?
Great video Gabe. Wish I didn't just buy a new rangefinder. Are you still using the Sacks Parente putter? Which model is it? I have been looking the website over, giving it a lot of thought.
Great review! How would you compare this to using the arrcoscaddy ecosystem?
Gabe... Did or would it take longer to go thru all of the hazards? If you hadn't played that course before. You didnt really go thru any lay ups on the course. Or Bunkers. Would you compare the Garmin Z82 and s60, s62 watches.
I did in the beginning of the video. But you are right I didn’t do it after that. I found it to be just as quick as the Garmin system.
Gabe another great video, another awesome piece of tech, I still have not gotten to use the one I won earlier last year. It is 65 today but no open courses, still to much ground water. Looking nice there in FL. Hoping one of these days to live there more sooner then later.
That’s a shame. Hope it dries up there soon Christopher. Is that snow melt?
Mix of snow melt and spring rain.

Ah that’s good to know Pete, thank you
@@LetsPlayThru very useful. I experiment with grips all the time so I like to blow the grips on and off with a compressor. Discovered it while doing that.
Hi Gabe! How does the speed and lock on capability of the shotscope lx+ range finder compare to something like the Bushnell XE or Tour v5 shift?
Just as fast if not faster I’d say.

Great suggestion, I'll see if I can work that in.
Great price for everything you get, a true bargain in golf equipment. I'll be picking this up , probably around Black Friday if they do a discount 👍
I was only talking with my golf buddies about this yesterday - Definitely a great piece of equipment - I think I'm going to swap from Arccos to this.
Looks like a great device.
HI GABE...question ? does Play Better ship to Canada ? thx
I believe they can buy you will need to contact them directly to arrange.
@@LetsPlayThru does this range finder have a magnet to attach it to the cart ??? must have missed that info
Is there an app attached that tracks your club ranges?

Thanks Gabe from over here in chilly England. If you're going to get a range finder this seems an obvious choice. Cheers
Absolutely, my pleasure. Stay warm over there!

I didn’t have any problem with it to be honest. The eye piece come out far enough where it’s not in the way.
I think you’re meant to select your puts while you are standing next to the flag so it can give you proximity stats. Also it would have been 2 putts on the first hole as your first putt was off the green.
Compared to Nikon which was your gamer?

Arcos sensor pops out and shot scope tag screws right in. Have the watch and not an issue.
My cobra has it built in and I couldn’t find a way to get it out. Tags are easy to swap though.

@@xavierperez9725 ah good to know, thanks 🙏
Does it have a magnet?
It doesn’t have a magnet. But I haven’t found one of these screen enabled models that do. I think it interferes with the electronics.

Yes, sure is

Strictly speaking a two putt as the first putt was from off the green!
You’re right and very gracious. Thats the kind of guy I’d like to play with!
Having a problem with the promo code. It's saying invalid. I've tried a few times.
Please make sure you take the quotation marks out of it, Others have tried and done it successfully. But let me know if you’re still having a problem.
I've taken the quotation marks out, no spaces, and tried both in all caps and all lowercase..
It says isn't valid for items in your cart..
Dang bright a early, see I have been working for 30 mins already lol. Have a great day.
Ah, I see!
What is the purpose of putting your club up to the device? You didn’t Tally explain that well.
The butt end of the club has the sensor, when tapped it registers the club you're hitting.
Shot scope vs arccos? Go.
get a watch...love the guy who plays to a double digit handicap and pulls out this type of device...please...just get a watch...so much easier and FASTER...but oh, I'm so good, gotta know the exact range to the flagstick...then hits it out of bounds...
Hmmmm. I think range finders take something away from the game. Your ability to determine distance by eye is part of the game.
One of the biggest reasons for annoying slow play with amateur golf... This crap.
