James, I followed your lead and trusted the recommendations, and it had me clubbing up more than I would have otherwise...and it was on so long as I made a decent swing. The only additional adjustment I had to factor in was taking more club as fatigue starts to settle in the last 4-5 holes, so if it recommended 8i, I’d hit 7 and get good results versus coming up short. I walked 18 so fatigued was a factor, and the wind was 10-15 mph, so this app was extremely helpful. Thanks so much for your review. Oh yeah...this helped me shoot my first sub 80 round since before the lockdowns started...6 over 77. Been shooting inconsistent low 80’s to as high as low 90’s for a couple of rounds.
Been using Swing U (formerly Swing by Swing) for about 5 years now, fantastic GPS app, factors in slope & wind to give a "plays like" yardage, you can measure shots & keep them (paid version) which then gives you the club advice, and their support is fantastic, I've emailed them about a few things & they come back within 24 hours. Tried a few others, including 18 birdies, but always come back to Swing U. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Oz.
Golf is one of those sports you can love or hate and it’s thanks to you that so many people love getting outside and playing. You are making people happy and helping them stay fit and healthy. I’ve enjoyed watching your TH-cam journey and looking forwards to seeing you reach a million subscribers in a year ☺️
Great video and really good to see you taking a round of golf seriously. Never taken my stats but maybe I will start after watching this video Looking forward to watching future content on this
I am going on using the app for a year and a half and really enjoy it. Knowing the yardage to the front back and middle is great but knowing the yardage to hazards has helped me the most.
Solid video mate! I started using GolfLogix this year for recording stats and rounds. I def find using an app like that or 18Birdies is very helpful for obviously distance, but also keeping track of scores, handicap and specific stats. I’m telling friends to start using one as well. Also, Iike you said, since many courses aren’t handing out scorecards, having an app helps tremendously. Only downside I’ve noticed, some courses I’ve been to aren’t yet on the app I use. So, it’s a give and take
I have been using Garmin watch for GPS and score keeping. I also use the Garmin apps which does keep some stats. I love how the Garmin watch and apps shows you where you hit and what the distance are after the round.
I’ve been using Golf Shot Pro for a long time now and I found it helped me understand the weaknesses in my game. Recently, I switched to ARCCOS which in many ways is similar to 18 Birdies. I can already tell ARCCOS is going to transform my game. 2 rounds in I’ve already learned a lot. As soon as I unlock all its features (after 5 rounds) I’m going to begin making some much needed adjustments to my game. I few trends have already shown up.... Currently off 3.9. Looking to get down to the 2s this year.
Greate video James!! Using the 18birdies app has assisted me alot. Your channel coaching content has helped me with my short game, and believe me i was running out of ideas!! Keep it up love your channel!!!
yes I have started this year. I'm using the grint like your boy on one of your last angry golfer video. it's really helped me feel pressure but it in a good way. keeps you focused on scoring your best bc other ppl get to see my handicap/ score
Been using VPAR golf for years. Find it very good keeps stats has a good GPS and makes scoring quick and easy. Definitely good for someone like me who plays practice holes on your own 👍🏌️♂️. Good stuff pal keep um coming
Used 18 Birdies for 2 years now. Tracked all sorts of shots and stats. It's helped me get from 15 down to 5 knowing which holes (usually par 3s) to focus on making par. Awesome product. 100% recommend it.
I stuck around to the end nice work. Been using Golfshot for 7 years. Very similar. I’m wondering how 18 Birdies track shots? Do you have to tell it when you want to track or does it “know”? I have to hit track buttons on Golfshot to track and can be cumbersome at times. Like the chips stat, don’t have that in Golfshot.
I just got my Arccos system this weekend and I love it I did something wrong though I put to much pressure on my self to preform in stead of just play golf and enjoy them that’s what I’ll do from now on I can definitely see the huge benefits I will have from the system
What are the procedures to track clubs distance....1st hole driver. What do I need to do from start to finish. Then what do you do to go on to the 2nd shot
I’ve been using 18 Birdies for a year now and it’s the best golf app by far. It’s really accurate and the Caddie plus has lowered my handicap from 9 to 6 with one under par 9 hole round. I love 18 Birdies
Hey there James! I use a Garmin S20 watch paired with the CT10 club sensors, tracks everything and automatically updates my stats when I plug it into my PC to charge the battery. Not a bad setup, and about $600 US for the combo. Paige Spiranac speaks highly of the 18 Birdies App also, maybe now that you've shown us even more I'll check it out, the Caddie+ is definitely a nice feature to use...
I never used to keep stats but I've just got a shot scope v3 and really enjoying it its a great bit of kit also I am having lessons at the moment which is also helping hoping to get down to a single figure handicap this year
I really like this idea, I have been using Golf Live with the club tags for the last 6ish months. Its great bar the tagging is slightly frustrating at times. It has really helped with understanding my game more, I have improved my handicap by 2 shots just by knowing the key areas to work on. And it has also allowed my to push my ego to one side as at one point I was coming up 42% short on approaches.
Great video James..love using my phone it help improve your score..I use brushnell..off the tee it will calculate bombs!..i save every game to see what I need to work on..thanks keep them coming!
Love the video James, been using the app on IPhone and Apple Watch, love the distance read outs for front middle and back and being able to be able to track shots on phone and keeps stats round to round
So how does it differ from something like Mobitee? Use it to keep stats but don’t normally use the club selection. Also find phone GPS apps are are usually anything between 3 and 15m out depending on the tree cover
Been using this app for a couple of rounds so building up stats. Already giving me guidance on where I need to focus to lower my handicap. Still using my garmin watch for club selection as I don’t quite have the confidence in the app for that, just yet. All in all I find it very good.
I used 18 birdie's for using it as a swing coach and it helps you with any issues you have mine was I was hunched over too much over the ball now after using it for a week or so and standing up a little more up right my posture and swing is 8/10 so I'm happy as Larry ! Just need to use the app on the course now
18 Birdies has revolutionized my game! I love that I can set smaller goals outside of keeping score, and I can feel those little victories throughout the course. Also allows me to drive the green when my friends don't think it's possible to cut the corner.
I used Golfshot which I thought I’d never leave but having a look at 18 birdies I think I’ve had my head turned. Swing analysis is a brilliant idea and the caddy is great.
Good video 👍🏻 I’m using the garmin ct10 system to keep track of my stats. Really helps to see where i need to improve my game. And fun to see your shots on the hole afterwards (to see that i’m mostly all over the place 😱)
Well we're using Golf Gamebook to keep our scores here in Finland (or ebirdie, but I prefer Gamebook as it has that GPS measuring in it). I do put my fairway hits and putts there, but if I bought the "Gold" version there would also be those bunker shots etc. available. I don't play much (10 rounds at this point I think, with a couple of 9 holes in it) so I can quite easily remember what happened on each round just by looking at the scorecard.
Just bought the Shot Scope V3 watch. Played my 1st 9 holes with it yesterday. Not much of a sample size but I enjoyed seeing how I did shot to shot. Surprised how little I noticed wearing a watch while playing. Looking forward to seeing how I did for the whole year after the season is over
Been using 18 Birdies for about a year now and love it. It’s great to see how even rounds with a similar score have vastly different stats. It would be good if there was a way to define fairways hit rather than just miss left/right. If you could say straight/ draw /hook left you could tell if your aim was off, or you hit a poor shot when you’re looking back at the stats.
Hi James. Did you think it slowed you down in terms of pace of play. Also do you think it would work with mates, I.e would you be looking at your phone the whole time
i've been using the app for a couple years. i'm just good enough to use the yardages. i do like being able to review rounds and see if i'm improving. tried Golf Pad app but didn't like as much and went back to 18Birdies. i have even introduced other to the app who like it as well. i also like that every once in a while they turn on some of the premium features for a week or two to entice you to look at upgrading. i've not had issues with the app running down my battery. i do try to keep it updated monthly or so.
Old school here...track drives, greens, putts on my own scorecard. Great video James. Would love to see a full 18 hole round, shot by shot. Three 6 hole videos? Cheers!
John Pratt I have the old system that does require a user fee, or at least not that I’ve had to pay for. I believe the newer systems require payment. But I’d gladly pay for it. Great info and data.
I have been using the free version of the App since June 2017 and I have to say that it really helps you out, even more so if playing at a course that you have never played before. The GPS mapping has been pretty much bang on for all courses that I have used it at. The Premium version is really good too but I just don't play enough golf to warrant purchasing it at the moment. I would say it is one of the best Apps out there though at this moment in time.
I have used the free version of VPAR for 3 years or so and keep score every round. Initially it was very good and the VPAR handicap and my official one were pretty close (VPAR also included bounce games). More recently, however, there has been a huge departure and I not been able to work out why. This app does have stats options which I have never really bothered with. Your video has “inspired” me to do so and maybe start afresh with a new app!!
I used an app like this before but I did notice that it drained battery loads and it also lost GPS and stuff a few times (actually at Woolley) which means I had to shut the app down and reload it up. Is this app reliable for not doing that?
Love the app ... use it with my Apple Watch and iPhone. Haven’t tried the upgrade. It may be my phone, but I can barely complete the round before depleting my battery
I use the Taylormade MyRoundPro app to record my rounds and review my stats. Now that I have a significant log of rounds I can look back round over round or look at my performance at different clubs I play, it’s interesting that at some clubs I hit 80% of fairways and there’s one club that I struggle to hit 50% of fairways. It uses strokes gained against various handicaps and you can see what you need to work on. I really like it
I do like the 18 birdies app but i use Arccos for shot tracking and the Grint to track scores and keep my handicap. Integration with apple watch allowing for easy GPS and score tracking much easier than dealing with phone all the time!
I use arccos as it came with the irons that i got custom fitted too. I like the stats i use full features in practice rounds and competition mode the rest. Its really highlight how bad i am off the tee but also highlighted that im quite good for my handicap around the green
I’m looking at the Shot Scope V3. It has sensors in each club and combined with the gps automatically works out how far you hit it. Then after a few rounds it knows your correct average distances and will suggest the correct club. It also works out putting distance stats.
I always keep my stats using Garmin golf and my round Pro. Not a fan of messing around with my phone on the course. My Garmin watch pretty much takes care of itself so I just enter score and check yardages
Big fan of 18Birdies - hadn’t tried it until this season but as a sporadic player (1-2 times a month) it’s super helpful to just apply a bit of focus/fun to the game.
I used to keep my stats. I wrote a piece of software a few years back that would not only record the stats but then also compare them to USA Tour stats - Best, 30th and worst on tour in each stat. I was keeping Fairways Hit, GIR's, Total Putts, Putts per GIR, Sand Saves, Up & Down. I also kept the stats for a couple of touring pro's playing on the South African Winter Tour series. I stopped keeping the stats after a while because I felt that I was becoming more obsessed with the actual recording of stats than I was with just playing golf. Every once in a while, I will pull the software out and input the stats from a round. This was all done way before the availability of apps and GPS's on mobile phones so it required me to track it manually on my scorecard and then capture the details into my software. It was useful in identifying areas of weakness in my game.
My main issue right now is shot selection and being aggressive the whole time. Over inflated view of my abilities meaning something like this may well be the reality check i need to help choose the right clubs!
I’ve been using 18 birdies for a year, it’s great but I’ve just gone to ShotScope as it’s quicker to record shot data (does it automatically) but I’ll probably use both when playing new courses as the hole display is awesome on 18.
Still trying to learn the fundamentals and use off brand clubs. Can’t really afford lessons. So I don’t take stats for the most part. I do however use easy score golf scorecard to keep track of my score for the round.
I just bought a shot scope v3 and used it for three rounds, great piece of kit!! Give your club yardages and stats about fairways it and where you miss and much more! Would highly recommend it to anyone 🏌🏻♂️⛳️
I have been using this app for about a year and it’s worked great. Makes it nice to track some stats and keep a record of scores to post to my online handicap system
I hand map every competitive round when I get home, then figure out fairways hit, gir, putts, up & down, sand saves. Tried to do it as I went but found it way too distracting.
Been using Golfshot on course and use Golfshake for handicap , happy with both, used 18 birdies but struggled with reading it on my phone, to much info on screen need specs for reading and too much of a faff putting specs somewhere 🏌️♀️🏌️♂️
I've been using 18 Birdies for a couple of weeks now. I used Golflogix for the last few years but they just raised the price to $49.95 per year so I dropped it. So far I like the app and am getting used to how it works.
Good video again James looks like a good app the only snag is I don't think you would be able to use it in a medal because of the weather and wind feature on it
Seems a bit of a faff compared to using ShotScope. Despite never wearing a watch anywhere but on the course, I choose a watch as I don't want to use my phone whilst playing or have to remember entering stuff as I go. Would be good to see a few 18 hole course blogs (maybe split into 2 or 3 videos) now and again on the channel and see you plot your way around a course.
My girlfriend played today in a tournament at Vistabella Golf in Spain and everything was on her phone. Registration, paying, scorecard and prizes. Way Forward?
Tried 18 birdies, an ok app but it absolutely gobbles up battery power.! Plus, in bright sunshine, very difficult to see the content. Sticking to my GPS watch. I do annotate GIR, putts etc, unfortunately I have a bag full of scorecards I never look at again.
I use swing u really help me when I see my coach he's able to look and see what I'm doing good (very little) and what I'm doing not so good (most things) but the GPS is really great
I love the 18 birdies app been using it a while but just got a cheap arccos and loving having all my distances. Keeping track of putting and driver stats
James, I followed your lead and trusted the recommendations, and it had me clubbing up more than I would have otherwise...and it was on so long as I made a decent swing. The only additional adjustment I had to factor in was taking more club as fatigue starts to settle in the last 4-5 holes, so if it recommended 8i, I’d hit 7 and get good results versus coming up short.

Swing U is great especially for free!
I use golfshot, how do you think it compares?
I have been using SwingU for 5 years, I really enjoy it

Love stats.....shows me how crap I am lol.......loving the content at the minute and the insta fallouts 😂
Haha cheers Reece 🤘🏼⛳️
Great video and really good to see you taking a round of golf seriously. Never taken my stats but maybe I will start after watching this video
Looking forward to watching future content on this
19:07 those of us who had watched the whole video cared very much where your last 8 iron ended up.
Hahahaha appreciate that Marc!
I am going on using the app for a year and a half and really enjoy it. Knowing the yardage to the front back and middle is great but knowing the yardage to hazards has helped me the most.
Just joined 18Birdies on Mr Robinson's recommendation. Trying it out this afternoon. James, keep the great vids coming! You're great for the game.

Love your videos. Just ordered shot scope with gps 🤔 beginner and 42 handicap with hope it lowering over the year.
Enjoy!!
yes I have started this year. I'm using the grint like your boy on one of your last angry golfer video. it's really helped me feel pressure but it in a good way. keeps you focused on scoring your best bc other ppl get to see my handicap/ score

Where did you get that Harbour Town golf links head cover?
Harbour town golf links buddy lol
Lol 😂 next time I’m down there have to get one or go online and get one my favorite course
What are the procedures to track clubs distance....1st hole driver. What do I need to do from start to finish. Then what do you do to go on to the 2nd shot
I’ve been using 18 Birdies for a year now and it’s the best golf app by far. It’s really accurate and the Caddie plus has lowered my handicap from 9 to 6 with one under par 9 hole round. I love 18 Birdies
I love 18 birdies. Helps me remember what to work on. Also you can notice trends in your game from round to round.
Did you leave your putter cover on the 18th?
Bloody hell I better go get it!

James, to get club recommendations you need to put your clubs and distances into the settings on the app
Can you explain me the green and regulation? Kinda new to the golf game and jotting down stats
Great video James..love using my phone it help improve your score..I use brushnell..off the tee it will calculate bombs!..i save every game to see what I need to work on..thanks keep them coming!
another great video fav youtuber
Love the video James, been using the app on IPhone and Apple Watch, love the distance read outs for front middle and back and being able to be able to track shots on phone and keeps stats round to round
So how does it differ from something like Mobitee? Use it to keep stats but don’t normally use the club selection. Also find phone GPS apps are are usually anything between 3 and 15m out depending on the tree cover
Golfers have 5 emotions after golf. Anger, anger, anger, anger, and anger.

So could this be used as a direct replacement of other devices to find your yardage or would you still say buying a device would be a advantage ?
Old school here...track drives, greens, putts on my own scorecard. Great video James. Would love to see a full 18 hole round, shot by shot. Three 6 hole videos? Cheers!
Glad to see you are human like the rest of us! We all can have a bad hole or two, but mine is usually the other way around one or two good holes.
Been using arccos for a couple years now and it’s a big part of my game and what I focus on during lessons and on the range.
Agree. Best golf app ever!!!
John Pratt I think you have to ask if you’d pay $4 every time you use it if your playing 25 times a year.
John Pratt I have the old system that does require a user fee, or at least not that I’ve had to pay for. I believe the newer systems require payment. But I’d gladly pay for it. Great info and data.

Hi James hope you and everyone is safe and well I use shot scope v2 I love it what’s your thoughts on shot scope
Love the app ... use it with my Apple Watch and iPhone. Haven’t tried the upgrade. It may be my phone, but I can barely complete the round before depleting my battery
Screen brightness was my problem in the app.
Great video, i have just been using it for the last round i played and i really liked it.
I use the Taylormade MyRoundPro app to record my rounds and review my stats. Now that I have a significant log of rounds I can look back round over round or look at my performance at different clubs I play, it’s interesting that at some clubs I hit 80% of fairways and there’s one club that I struggle to hit 50% of fairways. It uses strokes gained against various handicaps and you can see what you need to work on. I really like it
Is the app called something different on Google apps for Android phone mate also am having lessons feel like it's paying off slowly
What ball you using James?
Sounds a bit clicky off the Scotty
Somebody explain me the green and regulation on the app? I'm new to the game
I do like the 18 birdies app but i use Arccos for shot tracking and the Grint to track scores and keep my handicap. Integration with apple watch allowing for easy GPS and score tracking much easier than dealing with phone all the time!
I use arccos as it came with the irons that i got custom fitted too. I like the stats i use full features in practice rounds and competition mode the rest. Its really highlight how bad i am off the tee but also highlighted that im quite good for my handicap around the green
I have only now just keeping stats. Not got enough yet for it to shape my practice, but looking forward to it and lowering my scores
I’m looking at the Shot Scope V3. It has sensors in each club and combined with the gps automatically works out how far you hit it. Then after a few rounds it knows your correct average distances and will suggest the correct club. It also works out putting distance stats.
Club recommendations are nonconforming when playing in comps are they not ?
A 18 hole video would be nice. Mixing in the longer videos with the usual 10 min ones is great. Thanks for being the James Brown of TH-cam ⛳️.
Only stats I keep are # of putts. But I’m really interested in this app vs shot scope V3. Maybe a comparison video?
I always keep my stats using Garmin golf and my round Pro. Not a fan of messing around with my phone on the course. My Garmin watch pretty much takes care of itself so I just enter score and check yardages
Keep stats on golf shake 👍 and use GPS phantom thing brilliant bit of kit ... Good for courses you know bit tricky when you play a new track
Keep going not a bad round that, stats definitely help you improve. Would be good to see you do 18 holes with Chris as your caddy!
Big fan of 18Birdies - hadn’t tried it until this season but as a sporadic player (1-2 times a month) it’s super helpful to just apply a bit of focus/fun to the game.
I used to keep my stats. I wrote a piece of software a few years back that would not only record the stats but then also compare them to USA Tour stats - Best, 30th and worst on tour in each stat. I was keeping Fairways Hit, GIR's, Total Putts, Putts per GIR, Sand Saves, Up & Down. I also kept the stats for a couple of touring pro's playing on the South African Winter Tour series.
I stopped keeping the stats after a while because I felt that I was becoming more obsessed with the actual recording of stats than I was with just playing golf. Every once in a while, I will pull the software out and input the stats from a round. This was all done way before the availability of apps and GPS's on mobile phones so it required me to track it manually on my scorecard and then capture the details into my software. It was useful in identifying areas of weakness in my game.
My main issue right now is shot selection and being aggressive the whole time. Over inflated view of my abilities meaning something like this may well be the reality check i need to help choose the right clubs!
@13:00 - Where is this wind coming from? Let me explain how convection works... hahahahaha
I’ve been using 18 birdies for a year, it’s great but I’ve just gone to ShotScope as it’s quicker to record shot data (does it automatically) but I’ll probably use both when playing new courses as the hole display is awesome on 18.
Still trying to learn the fundamentals and use off brand clubs. Can’t really afford lessons. So I don’t take stats for the most part. I do however use easy score golf scorecard to keep track of my score for the round.
I just bought a shot scope v3 and used it for three rounds, great piece of kit!! Give your club yardages and stats about fairways it and where you miss and much more! Would highly recommend it to anyone 🏌🏻♂️⛳️
I have been using this app for about a year and it’s worked great. Makes it nice to track some stats and keep a record of scores to post to my online handicap system
Been using the grint app. It's been a good little addition to help me with yardage and club selection
I hand map every competitive round when I get home, then figure out fairways hit, gir, putts, up & down, sand saves. Tried to do it as I went but found it way too distracting.
Been using Golfshot on course and use Golfshake for handicap , happy with both, used 18 birdies but struggled with reading it on my phone, to much info on screen need specs for reading and too much of a faff putting specs somewhere 🏌️♀️🏌️♂️
I've been using 18 Birdies for a couple of weeks now. I used Golflogix for the last few years but they just raised the price to $49.95 per year so I dropped it. So far I like the app and am getting used to how it works.
I started using shot scope its great watch on wrist and after tells you how far you are hitting you clubs
Super 1/2 hour, I will watch this again, many thanks.
I'd love to try the app, but i dont play golf so will it work for fishing? 😆 great vid as always mate 👍🏼
James what happened to your tp5x pix ball????
Just testing the left dash a little more buddy
Haha nice. I started using the tp5x after I saw you using it. Fantastic ball. But firm but looks cool
andrew thompson yeah the left dash is even firmer, and I don’t know how I feel about that lol
Good video again James looks like a good app the only snag is I don't think you would be able to use it in a medal because of the weather and wind feature on it
Does the app severely drain battery life? I’ve used a similar app and it just chewed through battery.
Never mind, you answered my question 😂 forgive the impatience 😂
Keep it up james! You and a few other TH-cam channels are what keep me going through my shitty life, thank you so much!!
Me too haha
Thanks lads.
Seems a bit of a faff compared to using ShotScope. Despite never wearing a watch anywhere but on the course, I choose a watch as I don't want to use my phone whilst playing or have to remember entering stuff as I go. Would be good to see a few 18 hole course blogs (maybe split into 2 or 3 videos) now and again on the channel and see you plot your way around a course.
My girlfriend played today in a tournament at Vistabella Golf in Spain and everything was on her phone. Registration, paying, scorecard and prizes. Way Forward?
I’ve been using Golfshot Plus for a few years. Same sort of thing excellent...
I always watch to the end.
Tried 18 birdies, an ok app but it absolutely gobbles up battery power.! Plus, in bright sunshine, very difficult to see the content. Sticking to my GPS watch. I do annotate GIR, putts etc, unfortunately I have a bag full of scorecards I never look at again.
I use the Garmin S62 paired with the Garmin CT10 sensors, expensive but they give great data/stats
I use swing u really help me when I see my coach he's able to look and see what I'm doing good (very little) and what I'm doing not so good (most things) but the GPS is really great
Where are you, bro? Great course. Love the content
Woolley Park GC buddy in Yorkshire Uk
I’ve been using it for a few years, 333 rounds with stats. I set targets before I play like 1 birdie, 11 fairways, pars, and GIR. Great app to use.
I love the 18 birdies app been using it a while but just got a cheap arccos and loving having all my distances. Keeping track of putting and driver stats
