TaylorMade is doing the Arccos thing. 

They are doing it a little differently. Instead of including it in the grip, they are allowing you to get tags by mail.

Personally, I like Arccos. Having said that, I would not get Arccos Smart Caddie. 

It's been several years since I've used Arccos, but back when I did you could use Arccos. Get some great data. Keep all the stats you wanted. Have a history of your rounds, etc... All without paying for the Smart Caddie feature. I felt the Smart Caddie was at best a waste of money as I never wanted it's recommendations anyway. It is possible, however, that there are new features with Smart Caddie that may make it worthwhile now.

No different than how PING did it a few years ago.

I thought PING did it with the grips, not the screw in tags? 
I could be mistaken. I'm very old now... I get forgetful .... what were we talking about?

With Ping and ordering clubs with Arccos, shaft length is affected.  One should look into it before ordering a new net of Ping irons with the sensors in the grips

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
