Kennie! I liked this video. I have been using the app Golfpad for the last year or so now. I upgraded from the free version around September to get the strokes gained part of the app. It was an eye-opener as it showed me that my putting was not bad which is what I thought I needed to improve the most. Really my short game needed improvement. It gave me more confidence on the green and the last couple of months playing I had less then 33 putts per round. But then my chipping has been better because the pressure to get it so close to make it is off and such. My big thing now is to get more girs this year to help improve my scoring average into the mid 80s this year from 90. Thanks for the information and I actually picked up Mark Brodie's book recently and have been reading it. Loving the content Kennie
Love that! I hear good things about golfpad. It’s crazy because we think that we should be so much better at things when I’m reality we’re pretty good at some areas. Thanks for sharing Eric, glad to hear you are getting closer to your goals!
Strokes gained is an important metric to use and understand. Arccos helps quite a bit and makes it easier to use. I love strokes gained because it allows me to be more relaxed when I play knowing that the best players in the world strokes gained stats are nowhere near as great as we think. Especially their short game and putting. It gives me a lot of confidence when I play and takes a lot of pressure of me.
100%. Golf attracts A type personalities that want perfection and getting it through my thick skull that this game is extremely random and the best humans on the planet at it aren’t gods really helps me keep my cool. Thanks for sharing!
Well done. Strokes gained help adjust expectations, which shapes decision-making (course management) and practice focus. Lie and distance are significant elements that are not included in shot tracking systems. I prefer the pencil, paper, and spread sheet tracking for more details.
Agreed. I’ve seen some really good tracking systems for some of the more granular data points like lie, slope, shot shape etc... anything specific that you track?
Very interesting. I think there are a few areas it can help. So as an example, if your a 6 handicap and you want to get to a 2, you measure 📐yourself against a 2 to see what you need to improve the most and in all aspects 👍🏻 . Lastly, I played for years in the high 70’s and I remember taking to a guy that was a 3 and I asked him how do you get to the low 70’s? He said “irons”. The difference is irons shots. Simply closer to the hole.
Haha... you're stealing my next video, Jeff! 😂 100%. You just have to be a solid ball striker with irons in order to control the ball consistently enough to get it close enough to the hole to avoid making bogeys. Thanks for the insight. Greatly appreciated!
You should do a review of 18Birdies stat data page. A few persons like me do track their stats using a golf app like 18Birdies. It's worth it for me and it works pretty well for the local course I play. I would gladly look forward to hear your opinion on these apps.
how does this video not have 100k views? best piece of media I have encountered on the subject.
You’re the first of the 100k 😀

Great video! Definitely going to look at my golf game differently now and play the shot according to the odds
It helps me take the pressure off. Glad you liked the concept. Thanks for watching and sharing!

Great breakdown. Thanks for this 👌🏿
No problem!
I really got smarter today! TY
😂 you’re welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great explanation! I think knowing the odds on a putt is freeing as once you are more than a few feet away even the pro miss more than they make.
It helps me, but I’m always curious if it helps other people. Thanks for sharing.

I'd love to know my stats when making the stroke. it would give me much more confidence.
I agree. Takes a lot of the pressure off.
Hurt me as hell :) What tool do you use to keep stats?
Arccos Caddie
@@KennieKatGolf Downloaded it but do you need the sensors for using the app? Do you use the sensors and whats you thoughts about them?
Yes you need sensors. I did a review on the product on my channel you should check out.
Best gear to improve your putting?
Putting gates. They give Immediate feedback.
@@KennieKatGolf Thx buddy - love your content :)
Got a better explanation from you than i did from the guy that created the system.
You should do a review of 18Birdies stat data page.

If it works well for you, keep using it! Any tool that helps you track stats is great! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿.
@@KennieKatGolf I am very curious though. How many cats do you have?
Mmmmmmnmm oh daddddddddyyyy
