Hey there - thanks for watching and for the kind words. I suggest trying the following if you’re having this issue: 1) log out of the shot scope app (don’t just close it down) 2) fully close the app on your phone 3) switch the watch off and back on again 4) launch the app and log back in 5) try to sync the course again Try these steps and if they don’t work, let me know and I’ll give you further steps that should hopefully help you out! Cheers

Brilliant! How have you been getting on with it so far?

Hey there. This is just because I was creating this tutorial from my garden, not at the golf course. I live across the road from my course, so I'm able to obtain a connection and create these videos from my garden. The slightly wonky numbers are simply due to my location relative to some of the holes. for example, my house is located behind the 1st and 2nd holes, so things like yardages to front/back or hazards would be back to front. The tutorial is more about just showing how the watch works and how users can navigate the menus. Absolutely no issues with the G5 numbers when used on the course - as explained in my separate full review video (also on my channel). Hope that explains things! :)

Hey Jonathan. Thanks for getting in touch. This is the pack (of 6) I bought and have used: amzn.to/45NWvDn Cheers, Andy

@@AndysGolfBlog thanks

No, just want to make it clear it’s a tutorial and not a review. Also, just didn’t think your comment was very kind but hey, cheers for stopping by.

It’s not a review - It’s a tutorial (as per the title. This video was designed to explain how to set up and use the watch. Thankfully, the vast majority of the comments positive and kind, but there’s always one!

You'll probably struggle to get $3-4 unless they're a decent ball and in great condition but you could try. I think most people have job selling bundles of mixed balls. In truth, I don't personally see doing this as a business unless you live near a course where thousands of balls are being lost, and even then, it's probably more hassle than it's worth. But, as a way of topping up your ball supply for the range of winter golf, it's worth considering...and it's good for exercise!

@@AndysGolfBlog I'm in Australia so everything is crazy inflated, fuel is over $8 for a gallon lol. Yeah 2 of them were decent balls, oh and also found a cricket ball haha. Yeah it was just on a walk, not as a business, but just had me thinking what if and it was kind of fun. Been through a lot of sht so it was good to take my mind off! haha

@@AndysGolfBlog pack of 12 golf balls, not sure on the brand is $85 in Aus at golf shop

Good work. It’s always good to get out for a walk, clear your head and grab some fresh golf balls! Good for you!

Thanks so much for the kind comment - really appreciate that! :)

Hi Tony. Essentially, the X5 should only be used on the golf course and not on the range, especially when warming up or hitting balls. If I hit balls before I play then I don’t initiate my round until I’m on the first tee. If you do start a round early then do some warming up on the driving range or practise area, make sure you pause the watch from the menu before hitting balls, then unpause when on the first tee before you hit your tee shot. That way, no shots made before you play your round will be captured. For your round that hasn’t been captured correctly, specifically the first hole, you’ll be able to edit it to match how you actually played the hole using the desktop or mobile editing tools. I have two video tutorials explaining how to use both of those tools in case you want to check them out. Hope that makes sense! Cheers, Andy

Andy Thanks for your swift response. My original question was can you use the watch to show distances on the range? People commented on the Facebook page that you couldn't. But as I stated it did show the shot from the range onto the green. I know it was by accident, me not pausing the watch. But why can this not be part of the shotscope system, allowing practice distance shots?

People on the forum would have answered 'no' because they'd likely be thinking of using the device on a standard driving range (which people sometimes ask). Due to the way the device works, if you can't collect your ball at the range then the device can't work out how far you've hit it. That said, I've used my X5 a few times at my home course's driving range by entering GPS only mode (this works because the driving range is within 1KM of my course), hitting my balls and activating the 'Last Shot' option. I'd then walk to where the rough average distance would be for those balls and write down the distance displayed on the watch. In truth, the watch is designed to tell you how far you hit your clubs over a period of time, so it's actually a lot easier just to play a good few rounds and then see what your performance average is across your bag. It's worth noting that these yardages are always going to full shot yardages with rollout and not carry, and rely on GPS accuracy which is around 6-10 ft. If you're looking to be really anal about club distances, booking a club gapping session on a simulator or getting a device like a FlightScope Mevo will provide more accurate distances, and will give you carry numbers and full shot. Hope this helps!

Nice one! Thanks for checking the video out and for the kind comment. Be sure to check out my mobile editor tutorial too if you're keen to learn how to use that! Cheers, Andy

Shot Scope's MyStrategy tool. Available for all Shot Scope customers (owners of their GPS/Laser products). It's a really, really cool addition to their app. I often use it for planning rounds on courses I'm not familiar with. Find out more here: bit.ly/3fQrIAo. Use code 'ANDYSGOLF' to save 15% on all Shot Scope products.

@@AndysGolfBlog I meant I didn't know it was on the mobile app. Looks like it on your video.

Yeah, on mobile app. Loaded from the + button on the ‘Rounds’ screen

@@AndysGolfBlog that button is so well hidden! Thanks.

Yeah, that’s why I mention In this video that is suggest sticking to one make/model for consistency sake. That said, I really think it depends on what level you’re at and how much money you want to spend. I used to play with a decent 3HC player and he played with a different ball every round. Hard, soft, 2-piece, 3-piece, yellow, orange, black, white - it didn’t matter to him and he still went round close to level par most weeks!

To be honest, I don't worry about the order as long as the clubs are in the right slots for me. Once I'm out and playing, each club just gets popped back into the slot, not necessarily in the correct position. I basically just worked back from bottom to top (highest loft to lowest) in the video. Definitely not too anal on the course!

Yup. Down to 4 now though as I've just popped a new hybrid in to bridge the gap between my 5 iron and 3 hybrid. Having the extra wedge (54) was just a stop gap as I thought I might as well have all 15 clubs in there until the new one arrived. Also, having the 54 provided another option on the course and worked well for me.

Yeah, potentially, but have you seen the areas around the greens on that course. Missing those greens is asking for trouble on pretty much every hole. Such a good venue for the U.S. Open!

@@AndysGolfBlog agreed!

Haha I’ve been amazed at the number of comments on this video on here and TikTok. The vast majority have been about using 5 wedges rather than the club set up. Never know having 5 wedges would cause so much offence! Haha

I use the Shot Scope MyStrategy tool for this. Owners of any Shot Scope product get access to this tool for over 35,000 courses worldwide.

Haha love that. Why play safe like me? People only ever remember the wonder shots!!

@@AndysGolfBlog exactly!

Hahaha no judging here. I wish my handicap was in that bracket. Enjoy it!’

Haha class. My cart bag has an individual slots but I might make a video showing that set up. The reason I pop the woods in the top is because it feels easier to me to get the clubs out from beneath them. I almost feel like if the woods at the bottom it might be harder to get to the irons and wedges. One thing that is for certain is that there isn’t one size fits all when it comes to club placement within the golf bag! Haha

This dude plays golf.

Not disrespectful just kinda odd

Haha I did used to have it in there with them but moved it to a) make it easier to get to and b) the irons above keep the putter cover secure in place. Works for me! Haha

I did used to keep the putter in with the woods but then started getting annoyed trying to get it out from under the wood head covers. Nice to hear your setup, though.

Yeah, I suspected that would come from shot scope. They do have to be bought separately but I suspect they’ll let you choose at point of sale soon. The good news is that my code ‘ANDYSGOLF’ also provides 15% off those too.

Hit the link in the description for the video or head over to my Instagram (@andysgolfblog) and enter via the latest post there.

Thanks mark! Hopefully they help. Not going to guarantee success but definitely worth considering in my opinion. Play well, and thanks to checking out the video!

Yeah, biggest regret when getting these golf shoes was not getting trees, so great tip there. Won’t be making that mistake with my next pair, that’s for sure!!

Absolutely agree, Jack. To be honest, even when you’re no longer a beginner, I still think they’re a great option, especially if cost is a concern.

Generally not as big an issue. Although my data for 2023 suggests almost 30 yards difference, that’s not really the case. I think the PW data may be off slightly depending on how often I used it or what courses I’ve used it on. Generally speaking, I only get about 120 out of my PW and around 100 with my GW. If I’m looking at 110, I’ll favour a soft PW which will also take some spin off. If I need spin, I’ll go hard with the GW. Generally speaking, I think it’s easier to bridge the gap with wedges than longer irons. Taking a bit off of a PW doesn’t usually have as detrimental effect on flight or direction as a long iron for me. If I try to take something off a long iron, I usually end up pulling it well left. If I try to go hard, I usually end up pushing it! I’m going to produce a new video soon with my carry distances using my flight scope mevo, which will hopefully be a little more up-to-date.

Appreciate the comment, Andy, and glad it helped! There’s also a mobile editor tutorial on my channel if you want to take a look at that one too. Cheers

Hi Scotty, No, no need to have the app open during your round. The watch stores the data then the GPS information/shot tracking is all compiled when uploaded to the app. If yours is getting to 99% then stopping, I'd suggest doing the following: 1. Uninstall the app from your phone. 2. Go to bluetooth settings on your phone, tap on the V5 from the list and use the 'forget this device' option (IOS) or Android equivalent. 3. Re-install the app and log back into your account. 4. Choose More (bottom right) > Add a New Device > V5. 5. Re-pair your V5 with your phone. 6. Try to sync rounds from your watch to the app once again. If the above steps don't work, drop Shot Scope an email at support@shotscope.com. Let me know how you get on. Hopefully the above steps will work for you, though!

@@AndysGolfBlog Thanks Andy, I will try this out tomorrow. Fingers crossed 🤣

Nice one. Let me know how you get on!

@@AndysGolfBlog Nice one Andy. That top you have me worked. I can now sync rounds no problem. Next thing is to try and understand all these stats 🤣. Aldo it’s taking my handicap off scores and it looks like I am under par playing like Schauffle 🤣. Thanks again pal.

Awesome - glad it helped! Enjoy the golf and play well!

Strange. I haven't experienced this issue myself to be honest. Do you think the clasp that holds the charger onto the watch isn't tight enough to create a solid contact? If so, might be able to pop a rubber band/hair bobble around it to hold it tighter in place...?

Haha really? I was actually a bit surprised they packaged it with that in place to be honest! 😂😂

Thanks Bill. Appreciate the kind comment. If you’re interested in the full review for the G5, there’s one my my channel. Cheers!

Hey Claire, With the G5, it shouldn't really make a difference which tees you select as long as your course has been mapped. If you do want Shot Scope to add a red tee set, email support@shotscope.com and provide them with the name of your course and further information. Cheers

Thanks so much for the nice comment, Stuart. I really appreciate you not only taking the time to view the video but to also leave such kind words. Shot Scope do usually share some of my videos via their mailing list, which is great, but as long as users manage to use the tools to edit, then I'm happy. If you want to learn how to edit using the desktop tool, check out this video here: ruclips.net/video/H9-AzPTVCDA/видео.html Cheers, Andy

Hey Kevin. Thank you - glad it helped. Sure, rounds can be re-edited at any point. If using the mobile app, just open the round up again by tapping on it within the 'Rounds' tab, click on the pencil (top-right) and choose Edit. You can then make changes and save. You might find it easier editing using the desktop version of the app. If you've not already view it, I also have a tutorial for that which can be found here: ruclips.net/video/H9-AzPTVCDA/видео.html Give me a shout if you have any other questions. Always more than happy to help folks out!

@@AndysGolfBlog Thank you I will give that a go tonight

Here in Scotland, most courses enforce the use of small artificial grass mats during the winter months to help preserve the fairways due to the wet conditions. You can find out more here: www.andysgolfblog.co.uk/blog/2022/top-5-amazon-winter-golf-mats/

Sorry to hear that, Ray. I’d suggest uninstalling the app then reinstalling, if you haven’t already tried. Failing that, I think shot scope will be able to advise if you contact them directly: support@shotscope.com

What course is it?

Green valley country club Lafayette Hill Pennsylvania

​@AndysGolfBlog it's on the watch just not the application

If it’s on that watch then that’s all you should have to worry about. However, you should also be able to subscribe to the course and roll out updates to your device. If you’ve checked within the app and it’s not there (in neither courses or subscribed) then best to contact shot scope to ask if they can look into it.

Hi Brian, The tag that will be supplied will need to be modified to work with the SS putter. I've previously owned one and I cut the screw off and glued it to the top, on top of the weight. Instead of gluing, you could try a little bit of silicone sealant or 3M tape. Shot scope also sell a set of 3 putter tags, 2 pre cut and one normal for £19.99: bit.ly/4arTCtg. You can save 15% using my code 'ANDYSGOLF' if you are ordering them. The two pre-cut tags come with 3M tape I believe, so can just be stuck on. The only other solution is to go tagless, but put the watch into manual tagging mode. You can then press the button on the watch when at the location of each putt. Not quite as handy as auto putting but saves you altering or buying new tags. Personally, I'd recommend trying to modify or buying the tags though as I think automatic tracking is far more appealing than needing to manually tag putts - but at least you now know of both options. Let me know if you have any other questions at all. Cheers, Andy

Thanks for the comment. I can't say this is the same experience I've had using the G5, having tested it over a period of several months. Sometimes, the bluetooth connection between Shot Scope watches and the app can be a bit troublesome, but it's usually easily resolved. If you or anyone else is struggling getting their Shot Scope watch to connect to the app, try this: 1. Log out of the Shot Scope app and close it down. 2. From your mobile device's Bluetooth settings, select the watch and use the 'Forget this device' option (that's for IOS but Android users will have a similar option). 3. Launch and log into the Shot Scope app. 4. Choose More > Add New Device > Watches and select your device. 5. Press 'Continue' and proceed with the onboarding process. 6. Return to 'Rounds' and choose Connect Device. If your watch did only last one round and had an issue, I'm sure Shot Scope were or would be more than happy to assist or refund. I don't think it's fair to call it a crap watch as the watch itself is actually a really solid and affordable option, packed with a lot of useful features, especially at that price. Anyway, you're only going by your own experience but hope that the above steps help you or anyone else experiencing issues out. Cheers, Andy

@@AndysGolfBlog to be fair and reasonable to them since posting this comment they are sending me a new watch and have been fairly accommodating in their customer service.
