18Birdies subscription is not any cheaper and you can’t just play, but rather you have to select and verify the club each time. Irritation with 18Birdies is why I switched to Arccos. I do wish Arccos had the greens maps like 18 Birdies, but I guess us “rich” people with just have to use our eyes to read greens.

In reply to Kyle Glanville.

Kyle,

This is a bit misleading. Arccos sensors are free with almost any new golf club purchase and even if not, can be had for less than $50 on the second hand market. A $100 per year Arccos subscription is for the full suite of stats like strokes gained. To get similar features in the 18 birdies app, you would have to upgrade to the premium subscription which is $100 per year.

The shot tracker (as seen in this review) that can range in price is separate from a phone and app and will always track your shots on the course hands free so even if the Arccos app doesn’t work or your phone dies, this still keeps your stats. I know a common complaint for 18 birdies (& other similar apps) is that it resets or intermittently won’t connect.

Hope this helps!

Zack

you can get the same thing from arccos for free from 18birdie. Plus 18birdie doesnt drain your battery to damn near 10 percent from playing one round like arccos does. arccos is nothing special and is just there to make rich people feel better about shooting 90.

Sorry, Zach, but I completely disagree with your take on losing the belt clip. I had 3 of the flimsy clips break on the old model and actually lost a Link because of that. I just don’t keep anything else in my left pocket and it works flawlessly. Misses far fewer shots in my experience as well. I think it is a very positive upgrade.
