Shotscope recently announced their newest GPS/Shot Tracking watch, the V5.

The biggest difference between this and the X5 is the V5 now has 4 buttons to handle all of the menu navigation and no touchscreen while the X5 had 2 buttons and a touchscreen. Plus full hole mapping/overview instead of partial overview. And a few more color theme options on the screen.

The V5 is also $50 cheaper than the X5.


Shop the Shot Scope V5 and gain access to full hole maps and free non-subscription app. Buy online direct today.

I will likely be purchasing the V5 soon, a primary complaint regarding the X5 was how non-responsive/laggy the touchscreen was so I think the 4 buttons will probably be better than a slowly responding touch screen.

@iacas Just an FYI, "THESANDTRAP" does not work with the V5 as of now. (At least not for me)

I tried it as well, not applicable to selected product. I'll wait and see if Erik and get the discount extended, if not it's still a good price.

If you have a smart watch, 15th club gps app is free and it's the best I've seen. I just can't justify paying that much when there is a free app that does pretty much everything this one does. Am I wrong?

Yes. I use a ShotScope H4 primarily for the stats tracking, which the V5 also has, and which your suggestion does not.

Except the one thing I want the most, stat tracking/Strokes gained analysis.

@klineka Got an email from ShotScope for a deal on the V5 for 179.00 limited time offer for current Shot Scope account holders. I would assume you got it as well but just incase I thought I'd get the word out.

And this

I guess that's fair, I just use it to track shots so I get club recommendations and wind/elevation distances. I haven't found another one I trust as much as 15th Club

Interested. I will wait for the response from @iacas as well. I have wanted something to track stats and give the strokes gained for a while but have never pulled the trigger on anything.

I still prefer the H4 because I already wear a watch. The code works for that. 😀

I may have a response. I haven’t looked at email in a day and a half.

Previously with H4 and X5, I was able to stack the "loyal customer" sale price with "THESANDTRAP" discount code for an even better price.

Here you all go!

I have created a bespoke $50 off code for V5 for your community: sandtrapv5.

The code offers you $50 off the V5, making it $199.99. As you know, the V5 includes shot tracking, 16 tags and no subscription.

The code is valid until the end of April then the discount will be 15%.

I'm going to see if I can get the same THESANDTRAP code to apply for everything (the 15%), but for now, use "sandtrapv5" if you're interested in the V5!

I was able to get it for $129 as well, that's a hell of a deal! 

It will be my first experience with Shotscope, looking forward to it.

I use my Apple phone and Apple watch with free golf apps.  I don't particularly look for stats from it, but my understanding is you can get all the needed data for free.  Shots taken, whether you missed left or right, bunker, penalty strokes, putts etc.  Am not sure how a dedicated golf watch is any better than that.  Admittedly I don't know whether these apps offer strokes gained as a data metric

@pganapathy, the briefest amount of research would answer that question for you. For many what the free apps offer is not enough.

Statistics are about more than traditional stats like fairways hit and penalties and number of putts.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
    • I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
