Upcoming 2021 Arccos Releases

“We achieved a series of remarkable breakthroughs in 2020 that supported a dramatic surge in Arccos members and further proved the value players, coaches, fitters and OEMs are realizing from our on-course data set,” said Sal Syed, Arccos CEO and Co-Founder. “Input from each of these groups has helped us become more focused than ever. We know these upcoming releases for the first half of 2021 will further accelerate our business as we strive to realize the vision of connecting every golf club.”

Arccos members have recorded an astonishing 6 million rounds and 400 million shots with the system, while playing courses in 194 countries. This fed the world’s largest on-course dataset, which now includes 31 billion separate data points that are analyzed to help golfers perform their best. In 2020, the average new Arccos user improved their handicap by 5.02 strokes. 

In conjunction with OEM partnerships that now include PING, TaylorMade and Cobra, Arccos’ achievements last year included:

  • A.I. Rangefinder — The world’s first A.I. powered GPS rangefinder that adjusts yardages in real-time for slope, wind speed/direction, temperature, humidity and altitude
  • Arccos Caddie Link — A small, ultra-light wearable that automatically captures shot data, allowed Arccos members to untether themselves from their smartphone while playing
  • Strokes Gained Analytics (SGA) — Harnesses an A.I. Neural Net to provide players with the most advanced personalized insights in the game, SGA is the first platform to allow a player to select any target handicap – from Tour player to 20 – and measure their performance versus that goal across every game facet.

Golf’s first Artificial Intelligence platform, the Arccos Caddie app syncs with Arccos Caddie sensors to automatically track your shots while delivering smart distance club averages and strokes gained analytics. The system includes an A.I. powered rangefinder and caddie advice for any hole on earth to help golfers of all skill levels make smarter decisions, improve faster and shoot lower scores.
