Mishits, exceptionally long shots, and recovery efforts are now automatically identified and eliminated from the calculations, which helps to fuel Arccos’ A.I. caddie club recommendations.

Golfers can now filter the total number of shots included by the algorithms at any given time to facilitate analysis of any recent changes in their swing, equipment or other game aspects.

Further extending the value of Smart Club Distances is the weather and location scenarios tool.

This graphically intuitive feature allows Arccos members to easily select from a wide range of weather conditions and altitudes,  then using machine learning to assess the impact of these adjustments across the Smart Distance of every club in that player’s bag.
