Would love to see a video of you playing Chris using the app and following it like today and see the result and see what Chris has to say about how you played and if any different, would be interesting I think
James I am a new subscriber. I have a game we play sometimes. I would enjoy seeing you and one of your guys trying it. Basicly how you play it is as follows. On the first tee both tee off from the same tee. Whoever wins the hole gets to pick his tee box and the loser plays from the tee behind. Anytime there is a tie both go back to the same begining tee. Anytime there is winner they select their tee.
I received Arccos as a gift and it does all the same things, very well. You don’t have to enter your distances for each club as it tracks where each shot is from and what club was used. So you can’t lie about distances. I’ve enjoyed looking at the stats after a round, fairways hit, greens, etc. because everything is gps tracked it can tell you where your misses are for each club (short, right, left, long).
@James Robinson Golf I was in the same boat as you for the club selection that the app told me to hit. I told myself that I'm going to listen to it for the round. Let me tell you, I was hitting everything pin high.
Would love to see 18 holes. You looked genuinely depressed when the 5i on the last hole was (again) the correct choice - valuable lesson, use yardage help if you can 👍👍
I use the v1 Game app. I like it as it works with the Apple Watch. It detects my swing and prompts me after for the club. Combined with gps, it’s keeping track of my score and my yardages. Without the watch, you can enter each shot at each location. It also has a caddie and coach. Like it a lot, but it’s the Apple Watch app that Sets it apart.
I like the app. I am a 8 handicap. My 7 iron ranges from 168-172. That is depending on the day. I am guessing if you are striking it well and are at the top end of your numbers. You could adjust it as you go threw the round of golf.
I was just waiting for you to post a new video. Really enjoying these videos! I just went from 18 birdies that I have been using for a year to arccos sensors on my clubs. Love both apps but arccos gives me a lot more detail as to where I can grow and learn
Good app, but only works well if you know your distances are consistent. I'm using Titleist 710CBs and my 8 iron (for example) is always between 145 and 149 yards on less windy days. My 4 iron can range between my normal 5 iron and 3 iron distances. So I have no issue in believing the app if it tells me to use my 8, but I still have a choice when it comes to 3-5 iron. Clearly my consistency is the issue.
Not a bad app. Seems to have the right tools if used correctly. I've had one caddy at Whistling Straights, wasn't anything special. Had a caddy in Jamaica and he was good, I made all the putts when he told me the line. I've also caddied for a couple friends in qualifying for some low level tour events. That was both fun and stressful.
New to golf and downloaded this app after watching your last video and I love it!!! What I’m finding hard is people are trying to give me advice ( which is lovely ) but it’s a complete contradiction from what my coach is saying 🙈 I’m right into biomechanics so breaking a swing down is extremely interesting to me, muscle memory is getting there now I’m using the correct techniques for different shots and keeping my sternum central l, hitting down on irons and up and through on driver
James, Yes, I'd love to see how well you shoot over 18 holes trusting the app to tell you the yardages and what club to hit. I often second guess myself about distances then get so confused I hit a bad shot. My problem is more with commitment, but that's a different topic. Can you give a bit of a tutorial on how to add clubs and distances in the app? Great content.
I am trying out ARCCOS at the moment. Need one more round before the virtual caddie finally kicks in and I can truly judge it. Not sure what I think of it so far. It’s a mixed bag so far. I may well try this app instead if I’m not sold on it. Really like the idea of training myself to be my own caddie.
I use the free version of 18 birdies every time I play. I love it. For the overview and yardage and to keep track of scores and stats. I’m waiting to get arccos in and I can’t wait for that to get even more detailed
Ex Caddie at The St. Andrews Links across all 7 courses. Best 2 golfers I ever had; one pro from Texas that was totally honestly about all his yardages and shot shapes and misses, the other was a 13 year old from the states that played off 3, he tried to hit the ball exactly where I told him both finished first 9 from The whites 9 under. Pro finished 5 under at 18 and the young lad finished 1 under (few bad blips on the back 9). Most caddies walk the course 2 - 3 times a day trust there best advice (they do get it wrong at times) but generally they try to adjust to your game and manage the safest and most rewarding routes and lines for you
It’s definitely a great tool,as long as you don’t let ego interfere. Another smartphone app that features virtual caddy and it’s really good is Golfshot. I personally use Arccos,and can’t say enough good things about it. Shot tracking using sensors is amazing,and honest. Also started using Shotscope V3 recently,only few rounds played,and so far I think Arccos has a leg up,simply because of vast data breakdown. If you dig into Arccos data it will help you improve your game by focusing on weaknesses in your golf game.
That is an impressive App, 3 holes and three, two putt pars. I would trust it for sure after watching that. Have to admit, it did pick the perfect club every time. would like to see a couple of 9 hole matches. One with. one without.
i use 18Birdies but only the free version. and it is like the tournament mode kinda. no plays like or club. but i do trust the yardages and have a good sorta idea of my clubs i hit so i can get close. i mostly use it to keep my scores, solid shots, and review my rounds and stats. i agree with others, would love to see you use this up against Chris to see what he says.
I have never had a caddy and I don't deserve one because I suck at golf but I'm still in love with the game been playing 14 years and have only broke 100 4 times great video love this channel keep up the great work you have helped me tons
Great app, I'm using it just now and it has 100% helped me 👍 I do second guess it from time to time though and one thing I don't like is when assigning yardages to your clubs it jumps up in 5 yard increments, would rather it be more precise as I have about a 12 yard gap between most irons on a full swing
Love the free app. The paid caddy version seems really helpful and accurate! Only thing I don’t like is being on my phone all the time during the round to use and input scores.
Defo should it was a game changer for me . Plus more you use it more helpful and accurate it becomes . Also little feature is where it breaks down the individual part of your game and you can see what thing in particular is hurting your handicap be It driver approach putting whatever give you and idea of an area to really practice and focus on
Michael Whitehouse just played with my Cobra One Length’s today for the first time and like the Arccos. It did give me a par on a hole I got a bogey on but had to correct it. Maybe I didn’t address the put long enough on the tap in
@@Athon08 You need to check the putt score. I find Arccos Caddie sometimes misses tap ins or adds on some times! I like that AC keeps score automatically. Perhaps I should start using the caddie function more often.
Kym Stock I think if you are standing next to someone putting, you need to hold your club in the “sleep” position like it’s in a bag so Arccos doesn’t give you a false hit
@@Athon08 for sure keep tabs on the putting, arccos consistently misses the tap in puts. I make a habit of checking every hole as I walk to the next box to be sure its accurate.
Nice playing. Tried different phone apps. Phone died or had to keep it on battery backup. Looks to be a decent usable product to make the stresses of club selection easier and help with course management. Even has stokes gained.
Got the caddie mode on my Arccos app. It tells me to hit 6 iron on most par 4s tee shots round my course. Either Something is wrong with it or its had one look at my driving and thought better of it!
I use this app. Very handy, especially if you're in the next fairway and have no easy way to find your distance to the green. I also like to use it off the course on my tablet to plot strategies for playing troublesome holes. Downside is that it's not very accurate. Maybe +/- 10 yards. Sometimes way off. Plus it has no idea where the pin is, so you could be off by another 10 yards if it looks front and turns out to be back. I'll probably buy a laser rangefinder to get an accurate distance.
Hi James, great video. Could you show us a couple of holes with the non subscription basic version as I assume that's what 50% of us would be looking at.
James, can you please give me some advice. I use a GPS app on my phone. You’ve added your shot distances to your app to use the caddy option. Did you use carry or total distances?
Great video James now I know i could use it in medals makes it more appealing, you certainly seem to be playing well using the app.P.S. hit my 7 iron 150 in fairness went to local pro for yardages on New clubs using trackman
Great vid as always James and 18 holes would be good , just don't know if any app is worth £100 a year , same thing put me off the arrcos when I bought the F9 irons
Had a caddie at Carnoustie when I played there several years ago. On one hole a bern ran across the fairway. I asked him how far it was and he told me to not worry because I could not reach it. Well guess what? Hit a great drive and right into the bern it went. Cost me a couple of strokes. So a caddie is not always a good thing. LOL
Curious to know what you think is a more proper 7iron distance? I finally found out my carry distance is about 186 with my 7iron (provided launch monitor data is accurate)
Hey James, before I take the jam out of your doughnut, just want to say I really appreciate your daily golf related vlogs, they keep me going through my troubles, and motivate me to get out there... thankyou! Ok so I hate to be the bearer of bad news... but that lovely pitching wedge of yours @ 48°... is actually 46° I went with the t20 wedge set in 50°/54°/60°.. that way the gap wedge is slap bang in middle of the gap between pitch and sand wedge.. and the 6° increment is then on the lob wedge, as the extreme.. suppose I could of gone 58° but it's a lob wedge after all.. please let me know your thoughts on your wedge selection Mr Robinson, did I miss something? You had me on the mizuno website.. I thought I'd made a terrible error and looked at hmb lofts and chose a gap wedge only 2° more than the pitching wedge.. but they are the same.. 46° it's only in longer irons they differ
Would be good to see you using the strokes gained feature and seeing how that gives you any feedback that you’d expect or not after a full round. You’d need to track every shot on the app to do it and that’s when the battery life comment comes into its own in my experience. Good vid again 👍🏼
I am having issues logging on and when I tried it my club, Wetherby GC, hasn’t been up-dated for the new course layout which opened over 2 years ago!! I have tried to contact them but no reply as yet. Shame, as it looks pretty cool
I’m a year late to the party but, I played a few rounds in Tunisia a few years back and had a caddie. I was playing of 24 at the time and because of his knowledge he knocked 8 shots of my score on the first day so I used him the next two rounds. Bloody awesome 😎 I now use 18 birdies and it definitely helps me because I still think I hit my 7 iron 160 but 18Birdies knows it’s more like 140 🙄🤣
Hi James, I've used a SkyCaddie for about 10 years now and can't fault it. I currently have the SX500 and love the fact that every time I stand over the shot, I KNOW the yardage is correct. Trust your decision and hit the shot. I pride myself on distance control - I'm not the longest (7i = 145 carry) but hit MP20 blades for the feel and shapability. I have a mate who is an ex European tour caddy who has worked with Jimenez, Broadhurst and others and his biggest tip to me was to be honest with myself!! Hit the right club not the one that you hope to hit 1 out of 10 that distance. Keep up the good work.
I use this app every time I play. Tried a couple others but have kept coming back to 18Birdies. I don’t have the Caddie enabled as I’m not a Premium subscriber but have found that the distances it offers are pretty close to perfect. I have some friends that use their laser range finders and when comparing numbers it’s always give or take 5 yards of difference and most of the time that comes down to flag placement. I mostly use the app to keep track of my stats on course and to give me the “general idea” for what club I should pick for each shot. Im not quite at a point where I can accurately attack pins, I just need to know how far to hit to get it on the green in the general area of the flag.
Interesting... Any idea if the app takes in account height location? The course I play is at 2000m above sea level. The other at 800m. Every time I play either it takes me a while to adjust club selection
Hi James. I once had a local caddy when I played in Morrocco, which I paid for in the Pro Shop before going out. It was well worth the money, particulary in the heat and the help in reading undulating greens..... imagine my surprise when he asked for the bonus payments for the two birdies I made. I happily paid up but asked about the lost ball and two trebles I also made. He left and told me he can't hit the shots for me as well 🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I can relate to playing badly after having ( in my case) great. Round of 88. The next round was horrific losing five balls and scoring a 107. The temperature was in the 80’s for the good round and high 90’s Fahrenheit with oppressive humidity. I must say the weather really effects my play. Exhausted, dehydrated and disgusted, oh well that’s golf. I will continue my quest but at this age who knows what will happen!!;) ;) ;) ;)
"First things first" are you planning on returning your carry bag to the store seeing as you have kept the tag on...? :) Second things second, please pay 18 holes with the 18 birdies app. "To be fair" I think it would give great insight into the the usefulness of tech on the course. Shot.
I'm still trying to find the right app that'll work for me. I tried 18 birdies but it doesn't save my shots for some reason.. I liked the taylormade app but the courses locally here are very wrong in it.
Jesus, I haven't heard a "FORE LEFT" in one of your videos in ages. Must be playing well. Any chance of a more detailed video on the aim point process you are using for your putting? Would be interesting to see
How far, that’s a tricky question and varies round-to-round. I used my sc300 (over 2 months of range practice) to try to figure this out, but range ball distances are so much shorter than my standard ball (TP5 pix), and tension, feel, etc affect the outcome considerably. My knockdown and punch draw & fade distances are pretty reliable, but full swing can vary as much as 30y (7i) round-to-round. So why make the full swing, eh! Well, because when it’s working it feels and plays awesome. If I mention my 7i avg with range balls you’d probably thinking I’m delusional, but doesn’t matter, the variance and my lack of discipline (not just hitting an easy knockdown all the time) are the challenge...and why I’m a mid-handicapper

Just listen to your coach.
FitwiseTV I do but you know what it’s like, out for a round with people and they know you’re new to it and they try and give you advice!!
Ross Cowan yeah I totally get it.

I may well try this app instead if I’m not sold on it.

Enjoyed the Video James. I use the Tag Heuer golf app which appears to do the same thing. I noticed that I scored better and more consistently.
I use the free version of 18 birdies every time I play. I love it. For the overview and yardage and to keep track of scores and stats. I’m waiting to get arccos in and I can’t wait for that to get even more detailed
The golf pad app gives you club suggestions and also allows you to track your swings for future suggestions
Had a caddy when I played the old course would love to have one all the time was an immense help

Also, greatly appreciate the mic! It's great to always be able to hear you clearly.
Started using 18Birdies after seeing your initial review and it really helped me in recent rounds.
That is an impressive App, 3 holes and three, two putt pars. I would trust it for sure after watching that. Have to admit, it did pick the perfect club every time. would like to see a couple of 9 hole matches. One with. one without.
Using the Arcoss app as the sensors are in my new irons and I got adaptors for my other clubs, won my first comp.
i use 18Birdies but only the free version. and it is like the tournament mode kinda. no plays like or club. but i do trust the yardages and have a good sorta idea of my clubs i hit so i can get close. i mostly use it to keep my scores, solid shots, and review my rounds and stats. i agree with others, would love to see you use this up against Chris to see what he says.
What does it do if you're playing from the rough vs fairway. ...extra club?
I have never had a caddy and I don't deserve one because I suck at golf but I'm still in love with the game been playing 14 years and have only broke 100 4 times great video love this channel keep up the great work you have helped me tons

I use an Android iGolf app and yes it help improve my game because a human caddy can sometimes makes mistakes in the yardage of the course
Love the free app. The paid caddy version seems really helpful and accurate!
Only thing I don’t like is being on my phone all the time during the round to use and input scores.
Arccos offers similar recommendations on club selection and course management. Never followed it.. maybe I should
Defo should it was a game changer for me . Plus more you use it more helpful and accurate it becomes . Also little feature is where it breaks down the individual part of your game and you can see what thing in particular is hurting your handicap be It driver approach putting whatever give you and idea of an area to really practice and focus on

I've had plenty of half drunk buddies turn into tour caddies on every one of my shots.
The worst kind!!
C'mon James, you know we want the full 18 holes...stop teasin'! Thx for sharing with us James, looking forward to see what comes next!
Absolutely would love to see you play 18 with the caddie mode.
Got the caddie mode on my Arccos app. It tells me to hit 6 iron on most par 4s tee shots round my course. Either Something is wrong with it or its had one look at my driving and thought better of it!
James, you have to use the app every time you go out! That was brilliant!
Thanks Kevin!!!
pretty neat app, not to sure if I'd stop using the grint tho. cheers mate
I use this app. Very handy, especially if you're in the next fairway and have no easy way to find your distance to the green. I also like to use it off the course on my tablet to plot strategies for playing troublesome holes.

I'll probably buy a laser rangefinder to get an accurate distance.
I phone tour.. has a thine top line and no offset. And a feel any seasoned pro would want
Hi James, great video. Could you show us a couple of holes with the non subscription basic version as I assume that's what 50% of us would be looking at.
Need to see 18 holes using the app james... i use shotscope V2 so would have to see how your phone battery copes using this as well
I think trying 9 holes with it and 9 without on the same day and compare the scores would be really interesting. Amother good video though James 👍🏼
James do one playing 18 holes. Great video
Well played James !! That app looks really nice !!
Love the video mate. Good stuff
James, can you please give me some advice. I use a GPS app on my phone. You’ve added your shot distances to your app to use the caddy option. Did you use carry or total distances?
Hi James what's your opinion on ping g 410 irons would you buy them or buy titliest t300 irons
Great video James now I know i could use it in medals makes it more appealing, you certainly seem to be playing well using the app.P.S. hit my 7 iron 150 in fairness went to local pro for yardages on New clubs using trackman
Nice video but wow, it was like watching PGA tour golf with the number of ads.
Very impressive app that James ,looks like it definitely improved your club selection would be very interested to see what you would shoot over 18
Great vid as always James and 18 holes would be good , just don't know if any app is worth £100 a year , same thing put me off the arrcos when I bought the F9 irons
Had a caddie at Carnoustie when I played there several years ago. On one hole a bern ran across the fairway. I asked him how far it was and he told me to not worry because I could not reach it. Well guess what? Hit a great drive and right into the bern it went. Cost me a couple of strokes. So a caddie is not always a good thing. LOL
You shouldn't accept answers like that if you ask for information/advice that you're paying for.
Never had a caddie, but would love to give it a go one day
Yes, a nine hole review would be good. Especially a round with nine using the app, nine not. Could be a highlight of the round with an overall review.
Curious to know what you think is a more proper 7iron distance? I finally found out my carry distance is about 186 with my 7iron (provided launch monitor data is accurate)
Going on that performance you've got to give it a go on 2x9 holes looks a good app best golf you've played for a bit mate
Thanks for this review..I've been curious about this app and concerned it was a gimmick. I'll give it a try.
Hey James, before I take the jam out of your doughnut, just want to say I really appreciate your daily golf related vlogs, they keep me going through my troubles, and motivate me to get out there... thankyou! Ok so I hate to be the bearer of bad news... but that lovely pitching wedge of yours @ 48°... is actually 46°
I went with the t20 wedge set in 50°/54°/60°.. that way the gap wedge is slap bang in middle of the gap between pitch and sand wedge.. and the 6° increment is then on the lob wedge, as the extreme.. suppose I could of gone 58° but it's a lob wedge after all.. please let me know your thoughts on your wedge selection Mr Robinson, did I miss something? You had me on the mizuno website.. I thought I'd made a terrible error and looked at hmb lofts and chose a gap wedge only 2° more than the pitching wedge.. but they are the same.. 46° it's only in longer irons they differ
Did you have your pitching wedge knocked down couple degree on the custom fit?
Just downloaded that app haven’t played it yet. I would like to see you play a full round with it.
Would be good to see you using the strokes gained feature and seeing how that gives you any feedback that you’d expect or not after a full round. You’d need to track every shot on the app to do it and that’s when the battery life comment comes into its own in my experience. Good vid again 👍🏼
I am having issues logging on and when I tried it my club, Wetherby GC, hasn’t been up-dated for the new course layout which opened over 2 years ago!! I have tried to contact them but no reply as yet. Shame, as it looks pretty cool
For test or laugh do you think a top name tour pro would give it a go to see if it’s really good or not
Does it work out wind or are you able to tell it the wind direction/speed ?
Yes would love to see 18 holes with the app
I’m a year late to the party but, I played a few rounds in Tunisia a few years back and had a caddie. I was playing of 24 at the time and because of his knowledge he knocked 8 shots of my score on the first day so I used him the next two rounds. Bloody awesome 😎
I now use 18 birdies and it definitely helps me because I still think I hit my 7 iron 160 but 18Birdies knows it’s more like 140 🙄🤣
Great 3 holes, would like to see you do a whole round with that app.
Hi James,
I've used a SkyCaddie for about 10 years now and can't fault it. I currently have the SX500 and love the fact that every time I stand over the shot, I KNOW the yardage is correct. Trust your decision and hit the shot. I pride myself on distance control - I'm not the longest (7i = 145 carry) but hit MP20 blades for the feel and shapability.
I have a mate who is an ex European tour caddy who has worked with Jimenez, Broadhurst and others and his biggest tip to me was to be honest with myself!! Hit the right club not the one that you hope to hit 1 out of 10 that distance.
Keep up the good work.
I use this app every time I play. Tried a couple others but have kept coming back to 18Birdies. I don’t have the Caddie enabled as I’m not a Premium subscriber but have found that the distances it offers are pretty close to perfect. I have some friends that use their laser range finders and when comparing numbers it’s always give or take 5 yards of difference and most of the time that comes down to flag placement. I mostly use the app to keep track of my stats on course and to give me the “general idea” for what club I should pick for each shot. Im not quite at a point where I can accurately attack pins, I just need to know how far to hit to get it on the green in the general area of the flag.
Interesting... Any idea if the app takes in account height location? The course I play is at 2000m above sea level. The other at 800m. Every time I play either it takes me a while to adjust club selection
Hi James. I once had a local caddy when I played in Morrocco, which I paid for in the Pro Shop before going out. It was well worth the money, particulary in the heat and the help in reading undulating greens..... imagine my surprise when he asked for the bonus payments for the two birdies I made. I happily paid up but asked about the lost ball and two trebles I also made. He left and told me he can't hit the shots for me as well 🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
18 holes would be great! I'd like to see Chris caddy 18 holes for comparison.
I can relate to playing badly after having ( in my case) great. Round of 88. The next round was horrific losing five balls and scoring a 107. The temperature was in the 80’s for the good round and high 90’s Fahrenheit with oppressive humidity. I must say the weather really effects my play. Exhausted, dehydrated and disgusted, oh well that’s golf. I will continue my quest but at this age who knows what will happen!!;) ;) ;) ;)
Also check out the new and improved V3 from Shot Scope
Definitely want to see the full round !
"First things first" are you planning on returning your carry bag to the store seeing as you have kept the tag on...? :)
Second things second, please pay 18 holes with the 18 birdies app.
"To be fair" I think it would give great insight into the the usefulness of tech on the course. Shot.
Awesome video and swing is looking 👌, this app looks amazing, looks like I might have to give it a go
Does the app adjust your distances over time based on your actual on course shots?
app is great for checking out local golf courses aswell
Be good to see you do a round with golf logix and get your opinion
Hi James, 2 x 9 holes with Virtual Caddy
Thanks Peter 🤘🏼
agree please
+1，Great caddy, but only if I can play like you did.
Would love to see you play compare the app caddy + with you playing with a real caddy and compare...
Would love to see an 18 hole vlog using 18Birdies.
Yeah love to see a 18 hole version, that app looks decent
Yes 18 holes with 18 birdies app 💪💪💪👍👍👍
How does it compare to Arccos Caddie?
I'm still trying to find the right app that'll work for me. I tried 18 birdies but it doesn't save my shots for some reason.. I liked the taylormade app but the courses locally here are very wrong in it.
280 y driver. I think you've sneaked a few yards there James from the numbers I've seen on the sim in the past.
I use game golf on my Apple Watch all the time
It's been 12 years since my last round lol ... Looking to get back into it
Jesus, I haven't heard a "FORE LEFT" in one of your videos in ages. Must be playing well. Any chance of a more detailed video on the aim point process you are using for your putting? Would be interesting to see
I use 18Birdies every time I play. It’s a great way to help lower your scores for FREE. no more guessing on what club to use. Great app
Any chance of a video on aim point? See you have been doing it more recently
What app reads your putts? Thank you for your video
do the 18. i use GolfPad, but now you have me thinking i need to change.
How far, that’s a tricky question and varies round-to-round. I used my sc300 (over 2 months of range practice) to try to figure this out, but range ball distances are so much shorter than my standard ball (TP5 pix), and tension, feel, etc affect the outcome considerably. My knockdown and punch draw & fade distances are pretty reliable, but full swing can vary as much as 30y (7i) round-to-round. So why make the full swing, eh! Well, because when it’s working it feels and plays awesome. If I mention my 7i avg with range balls you’d probably thinking I’m delusional, but doesn’t matter, the variance and my lack of discipline (not just hitting an easy knockdown all the time) are the challenge...and why I’m a mid-handicapper
Appreciate the response buddy!
PS, I’m interested in seeing 18h with the AI caddie
