If you\u2019re looking to take your game to the next level you might be considering a club tracking\/GPS system for the course. There are a lot of different models to pick from and in this post, I\u2019m going to be comparing the Game Golf Pro system to the Arccos Caddie Smart Sensors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long story short, I would pick the Arccos Caddie Sensors<\/a> over the ones from Game Golf any day of the week. They essentially do the same thing but Arccos Caddie has built a much better and more streamlined device. The problem with Game Golf is that the software just isn\u2019t up to par like the Arccos system. There are a lot more glitches and the sensors don\u2019t seem to last as long. The customer service from Arccos Caddie is also much better if you do have problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are pretty expensive devices and I had higher hopes for the sensors from Game Golf. At the time of writing this, they were actually more expensive than the Arccos sensors and that\u2019s another big reason I wouldn\u2019t recommend them. Continue reading for the full walkthrough of each device and the cheapest place to pick them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Game Golf Pro<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Game Golf Pro system is a sensor that screws into each of your clubs and will track how far you hit<\/strong> each of your clubs. It\u2019ll also act as a GPS<\/strong> and tell you how far you hit each shot and how far away the green and other hazards are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main difference between the Game Golf Live and Pro is that you don\u2019t have to tag<\/strong> your club before each shot. When you use the Live you\u2019ll need to touch the sensor to your belt clip before you hit each shot. It\u2019s a bit of a hassle but it becomes a habit after a couple of rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main reason someone would use a system like this is to track how far<\/strong> they hit each club. It\u2019ll automatically record that data so you can easily see and not have to think about it every time. Knowing this is super helpful on the course because I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve had that shot you thought was great but it actually ended up 20 yards short\/long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next thing this device will do is tell you how far away things on the course are<\/strong>. Before you tee-off you\u2019ll be able to see how far away bunkers or water are so you can pick the right club. It\u2019ll tell you how far the green is and you\u2019ll be able to quickly figure out what club to hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, I wasn\u2019t the biggest fan of the Pro sensors. I thought they were too<\/strong> expensive<\/strong> for how they performed. The software was pretty glitchy and the sensors didn\u2019t have the best battery life. If I\u2019m going to spend that money I\u2019d go with the sensors from Arccos Caddie. If you\u2019re set on getting something from Game Golf then I\u2019d stick with the Game Golf Live system<\/a> which is much cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arccos Caddie Smart Sensors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These sensors do pretty much the same thing but I think they\u2019re much higher<\/strong> quality<\/strong> and are also cheaper. I originally got their older system (Arccos 360<\/a>) but recently upgraded and have no regrets at all. Both systems are awesome, have a clean interface, and great battery life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing this, the Game Golf system is around $200 more<\/strong> than the Arccos sensors. That\u2019s quite a bit in my opinion and I don\u2019t see any improvement at all. They both track how far you hit each club and will tell you how far away things are on the course (hazards, greens, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There really isn\u2019t any difference with the club tracking feature. They both track each club and are very similar in terms of accuracy. Other than that, the difference was pretty noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing I liked about Arccos was the user<\/strong> interface<\/strong>. The software was designed in partnership with Microsoft and I\u2019m pretty sure they know a thing or two about software. It\u2019s much cleaner to use and it doesn\u2019t glitch nearly as much. This is something that can be improved so there\u2019s still that for Game Golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next thing was the battery<\/strong> life<\/strong>. I don\u2019t know if it was a faulty device but some of my Game Golf sensors stopped working after about 4 months (the battery). I\u2019ve had both systems from Arccos Caddie that lasted well over 3 years. That\u2019s a pretty big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final thing was the accuracy of the GPS<\/strong>. There wasn\u2019t a huge difference between them but I found the Arccos sensors to be a bit more accurate. It was only a few yards on average but that could be a big deal for some people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Verdict<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the sensors from Arccos<\/strong> Caddie<\/strong> are of higher quality, perform better, and are cheaper. Those three things are enough for me to recommend the Arccos system over Game Golf any day of the week. I\u2019ve used a few products from Arccos Caddie and really haven\u2019t had any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not saying Game<\/strong> Golf<\/strong> has bad products but I do think they have some work to do. The software can always be improved but I think their product should be a lot better considering the price. If you want something from them then I\u2019d go with the Game Golf Live sensors which are cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to get the Arccos Caddie Smart Sensors, you can see our full review here<\/a> (it\u2019ll show where to pick them up). They also have Smart Grips<\/strong> which are the same product only cheaper. The sensors are built into the grips so you\u2019ll have to take your old ones off and put the new ones on. I don\u2019t like them as much but it\u2019s always an option.<\/p>\n\n\n
