I don't really see how this would work because how would the app/system know whether I'm at a tee box waiting to tee off because of a slow group in front of me vs at the tee box with myself and my playing partners hitting our tee shots?

Knowing that the price of my round is continually increasing due to a slow group in front of me that doesn't care about the price of their round would make me enjoy the round significantly less.

it would have to be done as a % of time you fall behind the group in front of you.   for example, you only get dinged when the group behind you is waiting on you AND you are not waiting on the group in front of you AND you are playing slower that whatever the standard pace of play is.

 We’re getting off topic here, but that wouldn’t provide any reward for those who can play faster than the people playing ahead of them. He would not only want to penalize those who are slow, but to reward those who are particularly fast.

Not sure if this is at the PGA show or not, but assuming it is based on time of release...

Not that it was something that ever really bothered me, but it did use a lot of batter and also made my bluetooth speaker cut out when I drifted a bit too far from the cart. 

appears you can clip this to your belt or keep it in your from pocket.  based on dimensions, looks like its about a quarter the size of an iphone in length and about half as thick.

Looks like it was timed to coincide with the show.

This existed well before the show, right? Maybe there's a new upgrade. By the way, is it me, or does the swing capture on the 4DMotion not look like the actual swing of the person in the video.

Yeah, the only difference I can think of is you don't need to tap, which if I am honest I would forget to do from time to time. The downside is the Arccos unit I used changed the swingweight of my club.

The Pill - ball chopped on the sides for short game practice. This has been around for awhile, and I've never heard of it till now. So many products.

The pro you don't tap, either.

He knows. It also changes the swingweight. 😞

I wonder if this is actually any good for putting? I've seen them in the clearance bin at my local GolfGalaxy and almost picked some up one time..

I can't tell if this is in the app, but my friends idea is to use a technology like this to change the pricing that you get as a golfer like the new car insurance apps they have. So if you are a slow golfer you pay more, and if you are a fast golfer you pay slightly less than the going rate. The car insurance apps track your speed, braking, etc and then give you a discount based on how safe a driver you are, this would do a similar thing for golfer based on preshot routines, wondering around for lost balls, and general quickness.

I think his idea is pretty good.

This would get someone killed...haha. I mean, you see how mad people get about pace of play now. Imagine if the group in front of them was causing their rates to go up!

Doesnt arccos also? 

Yes, but I also think their second version reduced the weight a good bit. I believe they're about half the weight of the GG Pro tags.

 Unfortunately it only works if the course first establishes an appropriate pace of play.

Sadly, too many think 4:15 is appropriate…

Ok. So now 4:15 is slow. Why don't people like you just quit the game if its so agonizing for you to be out playing such a wonderful sport if you cant finish in 3 hrs. or less.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
