Mine's putting. Arccos shows it, and apparently I lose basically all my strokes on the greens. I'm a 14 handicap and tee to green, I'm fine. But once the putter's in my hand, some how I lose 12 strokes a round... I burn makeable birdies all day, and 3-putts show up like clockwork.

What's your 'if I just fixed this, I'd be scratch' flaw? Also, if you have any tips/ coaches let me know. More cold ones at the turn?

4 rods and 16 plates in my neck!

Before the surgery probably just consistency with the driver. If I played somewhere short enough I could play irons off the tee I always played my best, if I had to pull the 975 out all bets were off.

In addition to LOFT (obvious), I have lost all distance in the past five years or so. I was never long but now am decidedly short. Plenty straight. But really short.

Yeah if I had to say 1 single thing, it's this.

Other wise, my approach game. Basically anything 150+ out from the green and who knows where it's going lol.

EDIT: This is what Arccos tells me anyways. Also I don't trust the "short game" part because I don't mark the pin on the course every time, so there are plenty of times I chip to 3' but it thinks I am 6 yards from the pin and I don't want to sit there and jack with my watch to mark the pin location.

Chipping. I'm a wreck unless it's a fluffy lie or strange enough sand. I switch between things and chunks on most chip shots

Short game and approach shots. My driver is the best part of my game - I'm sure tomorrow I won't hit one fairway after typing that!

Do y'all like what arccos provides? I'm interested but don't know how much I'd actually use it

My handicap is an 8.3. According to the Grint my driving accuracy is equivalent to a scratch golfer but my weaknesses are approach accuracy and scrambling.

I personally love it. All the metrics aren't perfectly accurate but it does give you general ideas of what to work on. I play 2-3x a week so for the $12.99 a month or whatever it is worthwhile. I got the sensors for free with a Cleveland wedge I bought so $169 wedge got me $249 worth of sensors. Don't know if Cleveland or ping still offers that but if you are eyeing a wedge or something it may be worth it.

Give ShotScope a try first. Same stat tracking as Arccos with no subscription fees.

Approach accuracy at all distances, but especially irons. Puts too much pressure on my short game between 25 and 50 yards, which cascades into lots of 3 putts. I'm not fixing driving distance at my age either.

Taking my range game to the course. I'm pretty dang good on the range (not that that means anything) but when I get to the course I don't do anything I've worked hours on doing. I just seem to revert back to my issues.

My biggest improvement in my putting game came after listening to an audio book from a coach who specializes in putting. my biggest takeaway was "don't overthink it. Look at the green, make a decision, and just hit the ball." Second guessing myself was causing me to miss A LOT of putts. I still miss putts, but I'm putting long ones closer to the hole, and setting myself up for more makeable second putts.

My biggest flaw is opening my club face, especially when I try to crank it. I constantly have to tell myself "don't try to kill it. Just swing nice and easy. At 6'5", a smooth swing has plenty of distance, and consistency is better than distance anyways.

a somewhat hard, but also easy question to answer. I played my best golf during Covid when I was able to get to the course a ton. Got down to around a high 6, low 7.

So with that being said my biggest flaw in not getting better is not playing enough.

Technical wise it would be hitting more GIR, which also stems from the fact from not playing enough.

Harvey Penick in his Little Red Book made the point that when you throw a baseball to someone, you don't measure off distance and all kinds of other math - you throw it. Same with putting. Just putt it. Works for me.

There is a Tiger Woods clip that I saw where he says he looks at the putt three ways and takes a mental picture & he putts to the picture. I took that into my game and it helped a lot.

My biggest issue is consistency. I don't play enough or hit enough balls. Love the game but don't have the time for it.

My driver - its not debatable


I play 5500-6000 with my kids and only use irons with no tee...i am a plus handicap

I play 500-6000 with my kids and i use a driver. I am a -10 or so handicap.


I play 6600+ and I am 5-7 handicap.


In short - I am a moron when the ball is not sitting on the ground.

Distance control on approaches > 100 yards.

How do you like Arcos?

EDIT....i guess if I read the entire thread

username checks out.

iron play. It's either on or off. If it's on, usually means my driver is **** on the day. If it's off, I'm painting fairways. Just waiting for the day when both are finally in sync on the same day

Lately its my driver and hybrids/woods. I can tee it low and find the fairway safely but then I am giving up some distance if I am not getting a lot of roll. I can stick most everything from 100/120 in and hands are great around the greens, but need to put myself in a better position off the tee.

Although, as soon as I fix my driver I am sure some new hiccup will come along

Mental approach, when I have no business hitting the driver off the tee I still pull driver. Some of my best rounds have been when I leave the driver at home. I hit the ball far enough where I could just hit a 4i off every tee and be just fine. Going OB or deep into trouble always seems to derail a great round. Other than that I would say my putting.

The CONNEX tags ($120) work with a free ShotScope app on your phone. You just buy the tags and you're done. I use the H4 belt clip device instead of the app, which was $150 and came with its own tags. Stats collected are the same either way.
