BEFORE YOU PLAY FOR THE FIRST TIME

Step 1: Charging your Shot Scope V2

How to charge

Your Shot Scope V2 can be charged from any USB port or USB compliant wall charger. Please use the micro-USB cable provided. The charging port can be found on the back of the watch. The watch screen will show that the device is charging and the percentage of battery it currently holds - changing to “100%” upon completion. When you first receive your Shot Scope, we recommend charging it fully before your first round. Please allow up to five hours for the watch to fully charge. We do recommend fully charging your Shot Scope between uses to ensure optimum performance.

Top Tip: To preserve battery life, we recommend you power down the watch when not in use. To power down the device, press the top-left button and then press yes (bottom left button).

Step 2: Left or right handed

The hand on which you wear the watch depends on whether you are a left or right-handed golfer. If you play as a right-handed golfer, it must be worn on your left hand, and if you play left-handed, it must be worn on your right hand. The watch must be within 10 cm of the tag when swinging the club, therefore it is essential that you do not wear the watch high on your wrist. By default, the watch is configured for right-handed players. This can be changed in ‘Settings’ on either the desktop or mobile apps. Your watch must be connected via USB or Bluetooth to change this setting.

Note: Wearing ION bands or other devices can affect Shot Scope’s performance.

TO CHANGE SETTINGS

Connect your watch using the USB cable provided. Once connected, navigate to settings where you can update this using the toggle.
Connect your watch to your smartphone. To do this, open your Shot Scope app and tap connect at the top of the rounds page. Once connected, navigate to the settings page and select profile. Within ‘profile’ you can update this using the toggle.

Step 3: Installing tags

Your Shot Scope comes with 20 tags, each labeled with an initial to identify the club. It is best practice to match the appropriate tags with the corresponding club.
For example, the D tag would screw into your driver. Tags must be inserted securely into the grip of the club you wish to track. Do this by rotating the tag clockwise while applying a slight downward force. There are 4 ‘spare’ tags marked X1, X2, X3, and X4, these should be used for clubs such as a 7 wood or an extra driver. Only the P tag can be used with a putter.

Step 4: Setting up My Bag

My Bag can be found in the dashboard by clicking your name (top right) which will display a dropdown. Once you have screwed your tags into their respective clubs, you should then enter the make and model of each of your clubs using the ‘My Bag’ feature. My Bag allows you to collect data for all of your clubs and compare each individual club accurately, gaining performance insights for as many clubs as you wish. To find out more, please go to: www.support.shotscope.com/mybag This feature will soon be added to the mobile apps.

AT THE COURSE

Step 1: Getting ready to play

To start your round, turn on your watch and press the ‘Pin’ icon located on the top right. You can then select which mode you would like to use. Your watch will then search for a GPS fix which should take around 30 seconds. (The first time you search for a GPS fix it may take around 2-5 minutes). We suggest that you turn your watch on at the start of your round on the 1st tee. This stops the watch from recording any swings or shots from your warm-up routine.

Note: You need to be within 400/500m of a golf course to get a GPS signal.

Step 2: Modes

The modes are interchangeable and allow you to get the most out of your V2 by offering flexibility between events. Before you start your round, select which mode you would like to use. Choose between: GPS, PRO, or GPS+Track.

GPS: Provides F/M/B yardages on the screen of your V2 throughout your round. This mode does not gather any performance tracking information.
PRO: Automatically gathers performance tracking data for retrospective game analysis. This mode does not provide any on-course information and no GPS distances will be displayed on your watch while you play.
GPS+Track: Combines the two modes above, providing both GPS distances and collecting performance tracking data to analyze your game post-round.

Step 3: During Play

PinCollect

PinCollect is a simple feature that allows you to get the most out of your statistics by collecting the position of the pin. When you reach a green, your watch will automatically change to the PinCollect screen. This screen shows the numbers 1-4, which represent the number of putts taken on the hole. Once you have holed out, simply press the number which correlates the number of putts taken, over the hole, and the pin location will be saved.

Top Tip: PinCollect is the only way that we can determine where the pin is on any given day. So if you don’t use PinCollect, we have no way of knowing whether your approach/chip was 30ft or 10ft away.

What if I forget to PinCollect?

Don’t worry if you forget to PinCollect occasionally. Although the watch will remind you to do so on every green, forgetting is still easily done! If you do forget, you can add the pin position in editing and move your putts as required.

Scrolling between holes

When you go to a new hole, the watch should automatically move on to the next hole. You can scroll between holes by using the bottom left and right buttons.

Lost GPS signal

If the watch loses GPS signal during the round, you will be notified on the screen. The watch will automatically start to search for GPS and, if this happens, you can simply wait and the screen will return to yardages. If you want to end the round at this point, press the bottom right button. This will return the watch to the home screen.

Ending a Round

To complete your round, press the menu button three times. You will be asked to confirm that you wish to end your round. Do this by pressing the bottom-left button which will then advance you to a summary of your round. If you have pressed this in error and do not wish to end your round, press the menu button to return to the yardages.

The end of your round confirmation displays your round summary with playing time. Press the bottom-left button to return to the home screen, or the bottom right button to proceed to the sync screen.

POST-ROUND

Step 1: Uploading your data

Once you have played a round you must then upload it in order to view your performance data.
To upload your data on desktop, connect your Shot Scope watch to your computer using the USB cable provided. You will then get a message asking if you wish to “Sync” your watch. Click “Sync” and all rounds stored in the watch will be downloaded and then made available to view on your Shot Scope dashboard.
To upload your data on mobile, navigate to Rounds. At the top of the page, there will be a message saying “Band not connected. Tap here to connect.” Press this button and instructions on how to connect your Shot Scope will appear. Follow these instructions to connect your mobile device with your watch. Remember Bluetooth and location services (Android) must be enabled on your mobile device.
Once the watch has connected, the message at the top of the Rounds page will change to “Band Connected. Tap here to sync”. Simply tap this message and your round data will begin to sync. If there is no data on the watch the tab will only say “Band connected”.
Once your round has successfully synced, it will appear on your Rounds page.

Step 2: Editing data

Editing is one of the most useful features on your performance dashboard and should be part of every user's Shot Scope routine.

GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR SHOT SCOPE

Practice strokes for optimum data

To maximize data collection, it is vital that practice strokes are taken beside the ball. This allows for the refinement of the algorithm which detects shots. We recommend taking multiple practice strokes beside the ball for each shot to give the system maximum data to pull from. If you find that your V2 is not picking up shots, we recommend increasing your practice strokes and playing again. Practice strokes are vital when putting and will ensure that your shots are recorded accurately, please take practice strokes beside the ball only.

Metal and GPS

As with any GPS device, there is the potential for interference caused by metal. If the golfer has any metal in their body, such as pins or plates, this can disrupt the signal. Metal worn on the wrists can also cause data distortion, including copper bracelets. We recommend that nothing else is worn on the wrists whilst using Shot Scope. This includes another watch, smartwatch or negative ION bracelets.

Where to wear

In order to provide automatic shot detection, Shot Scope uses both the watch and the tags. The two must be within a 10cm range of each other at all times when a shot is being played. If you grip down or wear the watch high on your wrist and the watch becomes more than 10cm away from your tag, then the shot will not be recorded.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any issues with your Shot Scope GPS Golf V2 Watch, try these troubleshooting steps:

Check that the watch is charged and paired with your mobile device.
Ensure that the correct course and hole are selected in the mobile app.
Restart the watch by holding down the power button for 10 seconds.
If the watch still doesn't work, contact Shot Scope customer support for further assistance.
