Arccos unveils upgrades to Caddie app

The updated Caddie app has enhanced putting data capture features

Arccos Golf has announced new features to its Caddie platform, highlighted by a Smart Club Distances algorithm and enhanced putt data tracking, plus a new weather and location tool.

The latest Smart Club Distances machine learning algorithm takes accuracy to a new level by providing a precise estimation of how far a player hits a well-struck shot with each club in their bag. Mishits, exceptionally long, and recovery shots are now automatically identified and eliminated from the calculations, which helps to fuel Arccos’ A.I. caddie club recommendations. Plus, 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 select from a wide range of weather conditions (ex: wind speed, wind direction and temperature variations) and altitudes. It then uses machine learning to assess the impact of these adjustments across the Smart Distance of every club in that player’s bag.

Significant enhancements to Arccos functionality on the greens are being added at the same time. These include the addition of second and third putt distance tracking for even more accurate putting Stroke Gained analytics, a green grid view toggle and the ability to enable walking path tracking for better post-round identification of pin and putt locations.
