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.
By connecting one shot to another using the GPS in your smartphone, Arccos can determine how far each of your shots goes, whether it lands in the fairway, sand or on the green, then compile detailed stats and analytics that reveal your strengths, weaknesses and areas you should practice.
The batteries in the Smoke Smart Sensors should last about two years with normal use.
The Smoke edition of the Arccos Smart Sensors Gen3+ costs $224.99 and comes with a one-year subscription to the Arccos Caddie app.
