Yeah I was following along here and debating on picking the H4 up, but out of stock for me as well.

I was just able to place an order for the H4. I did get an error message that it was out of stock, but it allowed me to check out and place the order. I have a confirmation e-mail.

I'm sure it will be fine, it's just strange. I put it on a credit card, so I can always dispute the charge if worst comes to worst. Not really worried about that though.

Okay, it showed out of stock for me too. But after I selected that I was in the United States it showed it as in stock.

So, I ordered one. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I forgot to charge the H4 last night. We’ll see how many holes it lasts this time.

Ok so it charged 20% in the 30 minutes I was home which probably would have been enough for the round at 46%, but then I realized I could charge it in my car on the way to the course so it worked out fine.

I ended up over 65% so it looks like it charges about 40% per hour.

The Shot Scope tags have a slightly longer screw than the Game Golf ones. I’m hoping they’ll stay in the PURE grips better because of that.

I noticed on a couple of shots from the other day that they do pop up out of the grip and I had to screw them back down. I can’t say for certain if the longer screw on the Shot Scope tag keeps it from popping out completely like my old GG tags or if I’m simply noticing when they first start to pop out with these because I’m tagging the unit to the club. Might be the former because at least one of the times I noticed the tag was loose after I hit my shot.

For those with PURE grips who are concerned about tags popping out, I think silicone might still be the way to go.

Hey all.  So I just removed the first of my GG tags from a club.  Here is the result.  Will this be a problem when I get the Shot Scope?  I guess I'm asking if I have to regrip my clu bs for the tags at this point (grips are otherwise in good condition -- if I were just going from GG to nothing, I'd be fine with the grip the way it is).

I wouldn't guarantee anything but I believe silicone, as @billchao suggested would be your best option.   When I removed my GG tags there was no tearing like yours, just silicone residue.  Then again, I don't have pure grips.

I've found it charges very quickly. I forgot to charge it last week and plugged it in in the pro shop while I warmed up, it easily charged enough to handle 18 holes.

The only complaint I have, and it's a small one, is it takes A LONG time to find the GPS satellites. I missed tagging my opening drive a couple times due to this issue. You can't flip it on as you walk to the tee box. For a comparison today, I set it next to a Bushnell Phantom 2 and a Garmin Approach G80 and they both were able to find the satellites and were ready to go in less than half the time as the H4. And forget about it if you are playing a course you have never played before, it took forever to pull up the two courses I played in Mexico. I turned it on as I drove to the first tee and I missed my drive and my second shot.

Other than that little gripe, I love this thing. So easy to use, so convenient, great data, and very accurate.

You probably play the same course frequently, too. I do it a few minutes before.

Today at Mid-Pines it took about two minutes. But at Mid-South (after we played Talamore in the morning), it took literally 15 seconds.

If you change areas, it has to do more work. But that's why I said the first thing.

I also didn't load anything on my phone when I traveled. Not that you had to with GAME Golf, either. And with GG you only got blinking lights to let you know if you were on the course and GPS locked. This at least tells you on the screen.

    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
    • He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
    • At a basic level, you can take those strokes gained numbers and if you know what the baseline strokes to hole out is from each distance, you can figure out how many strokes on average you will take to hole out from any given spot on the golf course. Then you can take that shot zone thing from shotscope and put it down there and see what the average is for each club and each target you choose. That's not exactly trivial to do though even with a computer, so the strategy guides (like LSW) use rules of thumb to make those decisions easier for you to make on the fly. Most of the time you'll come up with the optimal strategy and on the odd occasion when you don't, the strategy you come up with will be pretty darn close to optimal. If you're anything like me, then you'll probably wind up being a little too conservative with both club choice and target. Fear of penalty strokes can make you play suboptimally. Basically it's a bad idea to base your strategy on a shot that might pop up less than 1 in 20 times. If you happen to hit that shot, then today just isn't your day, but the 19 times you don't, you'll be in that much better of a spot.
