For the past few years, Arccos has concentrated on improving the software and the algorithms it uses to give golfers deeper analytics and more information about how they can improve their games. And in 2022 the Stamford, Connecticut-based company has rolled out new hardware.
Last month Arccos introduced the Gen3+ sensors, which help the system do a better job of detecting shots, ignoring practice swings and locating you on the course. Two weeks later it released the second edition of the Arccos Link, a small device that clips to your belt or a pocket and allows players to use Arccos without keeping their smartphone in a pocket. Now comes the limited-edition Gen3+ Smoke sensors, a black version of the newest screw-in sensors that help power the shot-tracking system.
Like the standard black and green Gen3+ sensors, 13 Smoke tags come in the box alongside a smaller 14th sensor designed for your putter. After installing them and going through a one-time pairing process that takes about two minutes, the Arccos smartphone app recognizes which clubs you use on every shot and can overlay that information on over 40,000 courses around the world.
