Arccos introduces Strokes Gained by Club to help inform better equipment buying decisions

Published

on

Arccos Golf has today unveiled Strokes Gained by Club.

This new feature allows players to see which clubs in their bag are gaining or costing them strokes on the course, in design to help them make more informed purchasing and set-up decisions via head-to-head product comparisons.

Set to premiere in April for all users of the Arccos Caddie app, Strokes Gained by Club represents the first time that personalized advanced analytics has been applied to on-course equipment performance.

Strokes Gained by Club was built by Arccos’ in-house data and engineering teams, which leveraged the company’s dataset that now includes more than 500 million shots and billions of related data points recorded during over 10 million rounds played by Arccos members.

Speaking on the new Strokes Gained by Club, Sal Syed, Arccos CEO and Co-Founder said

“The insights gained from Strokes Gained by Club are way beyond what’s available on the PGA Tour and will have a dramatic impact on equipment choices by players, their coaches and clubfitters. It’s just the latest step in our ongoing innovation cycle that’s leveraging a massive and unrivalled dataset to help golfers make smarter decisions before, during and after their rounds.”

The new feature is designed for golfers of all skill levels, with Strokes Gained by Club assessing equipment performance versus the target handicap a player selects, thereby offering a precise view of which clubs are contributing to better scoring and those that are holding them back.

Among the key applications of this tool is the ability for a player to easily compare their performance with a current club to a prospective purchase (i.e. Driver A vs Driver B) or determine the impact of a set-up adjustment (i.e. loft, face angle, shaft, grip).

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs

Published

on

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.

From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored.  One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs.  They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done.  This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did.  But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest.  They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world.  I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.

Full set $1,600, or…

…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…

Driver: $70

Fairway: $250

Irons: $1,100

Wedges: $100

Putter: $350″
