Ordered new Callaway Apex on May 19th, they’re still not here! Brexit, COVID, the boats stuck in the canal, supply issues with shafts and grips. These delays must have cost the golf industry havoc financially. Would love you to do an investigative piece Mark.
Great way to explain STOKES GAINED..... i do not play enough to use but see the need for people that play a lot... I am working on knowing my patterns.
I use Arccos, and it has been eye opening for me, as I’m sure all other systems are to those you use them. My tendency was to be short and to the right on my approach shots, so I worked on taking more club and practicing a draw with my irons. Can’t say enough good things about Arccos. The data is invaluable.
I have been using Arccos too. The data is useful in pointing out where I need to practice. I like the feature that allow your game to be compared to others on the same handicap. My weakness is distance off the tee, but at my age ( 67) I think maybe Arccos is comparing me to much younger golfers at the same handicap.
Short game and putting, specifically lag putting from outside 20 feet. Huge improvements in lag putting since watching the video where you gave Rory some ideas to help his long putting. Huge gains! Thanks Mark!
Yeah been using strokes gained for about 2 years now, confirmed to me that I was a far better putter than what I thought and in fact my short game and approach wasn’t as good as I thought, been trying to use it to improve my short game this season and been tracking how my practice is affecting my last few rounds.
This is really good stuff, Mark. I suspect mode than a few ppl still need a tutorial on what the actual strokes gained calculation is. Mark Brodies example in his book, using a Jason Day stinky par is really helpful. We had our club champ this weekend (I set a PR while still finishing last in the Championship Flight) and I used strokes gain language to discuss strategy w other players after the rounds. It was 50/50 at best, with the older members being the least likely to understand me.
I used it for a few months. I learned that my short game was much better then I thought and my putting was terrible. Very useful to decide on what to practice
I have used strokes gained for about a year inbetween lockdowns . I like the way you can keep track of each element of the game and it is always interesting where to see where the improvements are mainly ie if your tee shot is around 250yds total big premium on fairway and then track you success with iron ranges or not ……It definitly easier with gadgets on the club grips for registering the shots and then seeing the game graphically on off the course
I haven’t used strokes gained yet. Similar to you Mark, I worked on short game a lot during lockdowns and the winter months. I am now finding that my game is totally reliant on getting up and down. I am now trying to work on approach shots into greens. Strikes gained will help me with which distances I need to work on.
I understand it, first used it in gamegolf, then golf metrics, now just signed up to decade. Big picture it showed me what I knew but it allows me to drill down into the nuances and work towards a better game. Eg. I knew my short putts were quite good and longer ones OK. In reality my short putts are very good my mid putts are terrible and my long putts are poor. So I will focus on mid putts first then if long putts are still poor, look at them. The more focused I can see my game the more focused I can be and the more meaningful my practice can be.
Yes, heard it explained by Mark Brodie as how many strokes you are to the hole, that helped. It's showed me that my approach play is the major thing holding me back, the rest of my game is pretty much where it needs to be. Without it I'd probably still be practicing all areas evenly.
Similar to others. Use a Shotscope V3 and strokes gained has really helped me focus what I practice on. Have come down from 23 handicap to 16 since I started using it and still more to go
I worked hard on hitting fairways with my woods for a couple of years. Stats improved significantly, but scores hardly moved, but consistency improved . Next I tackled chipping and putting and that took me down 2 shots on my handicap from 12 to 10. Now I’m looking at greens in regulation, the difference between a good score and an average one seems to be 44% vs 33%. I feel I have a way to go on this. New irons are already having a positive impact, with my last round 66% GIR, but a few good birdie chances missed and a couple of poor tee shots giving me a score of +9.
I'm practice absolute basics. Been hitting really weak short shots lately, realised I'm just not turning through the ball properly anymore. Today's practice was waaaay better
Yes, started using them and after the initial harsh reality of the stats it’s been a game changer. Similar to yourself my chipping has gone from a weakness to a real strength
Yes aware, I need to measure more closely for it to be effective, though I tend to go back over a round not just for fairways / greens hit but also whether I put myself in a decent place or not. Next practice split equally in 3 - long game / chipping / putting - long game focus being grip & set-up, along with not rushing from the top. Great vid Mark👍
Thanks Mark, great video! One idea for the future sequel of the strokes gained, it also helps to analyse for example putting in more detail. What distances are the problematic ones for my game, should I practice more on distance control or controlling the stroke for shorter putts.
i love strokes gained aspect on shot scope really eye opening - really need to work on approach play from 100-200 yards losing little over 2 shots to scratch golfer, and especially from shots out of the rough
Great now it is on shot scope, some surprising results, putting always an issue but lockdown practice in the kitchen and a ten finger grip has sorted me out, top content as ever bruh
I do understand and use myroundpro strokes gained. I will be practicing trying to hit my drive further cause I am losing 1.5 and in turn should help my approach play which I am also losing 1.5 strokes
Not using it but I might start. Currently working on driver because being further up towards the hole seems to be bringing my scores down regardless of if I hit the fairway or first cut of rough
Not something I previously understood and not sure I still do fully but definitely think it’d help me. That said, without a Shot Scope or equivalent, is it possible to track?
Yes I do and I find it really intersting, Both my Garmin and Arccos cover it, however when bombing a drive I still question that a handicap golfer that's 30 yards close but in thick rough won't be better off cause of their ability to play from tough lies.
I have the shotscope v3 watch, this is my first experience of shots gained. I think ?! that it shows the areas of my game where I am not as successful, I can compare myself with a tour pro but thats fun but not really realistic, I prefer to compare with the 20hc or 15hc levels as I'm an 18hc and can see where I'm succeeding or failing in my game. But I could be completely mistaken.
I got a shotscope v3 and your positive review was part of my decision. It has highlighted approaches for me. Interesting I gain sg approaches vs 5 hcp and lose vs 0 hcp with a pretty big swing. I would like some help from shotscope going through all the data on the website more thoroughly. Like u and lockey’s game to the middle I need to focus on that a lot more
Budget conscious golfer here. Is there a free app or spreadsheet that would allow me to calculate strokes gains or do I have to lay out for something like Archos ?
Awesome content as always bruh! Would be great if you did a video on the systems you use for this...tools for capturing and then programs for seeing and interpreting the data.
ShotScope shows I need to improve my approach shots and reduce my 3-putts... Surprisingly, my driver play shows improvement--an area I view is way weaker than it is. Cheers 🍻
I have a basic understanding of strokes gained. I have considered getting shot scope, but I don’t know that I would practice more with the knowledge. I rarely practice, I spend most of my golf time playing golf.
I'm confused with strokes gaine with regards to putting! I have 60% single putts with 33% 2 putts and 7% 3 putts but loose 3.2 strokes gained. Can you help please?
On your choice between a soft 6 or hard 7, have you ever thought about choking down on the 6 and hitting a normal shot? And yes, I use Game Golf and the strokes gained has verified what I already knew.
I hear it all the time when watching a tournament, but never really understood it. Gotta check, but I think my 18 Birdies app has some comparison stats. I think it tracks pars, birdies, putts, fairways, and GIR. I don’t think it tracks shot percentages...gotta go check.
I use Arccos and it has been confirmed what I already knew. I love it and it’s a good overview of your game strengths and weaknesses But questions how they calculate with some data…. Give you an example .. They talk about an average driving distance ( par 4 & 5 for a x HCP for a y number of rounds . I can only relate to this if they also talked about the same courses played as it could be that you are using on tights courses more a 5W as it bring you less into problems ….
Have never used strokes gained, very interesting. Working on driving at the moment. Trying to get to single figures, would be great to use strokes gained v single figure handicap
What are you practicing next? I'm practicing SG off the tee. Trying to find the right combo of distance and accuracy to limit being in the trees and losing strokes before I even get to the fairway
Using Arccos SG is in my face, sometimes against my feeling but based on the numbers it guides you where to practice. Difficult thing to avoid is over thinking everything.
So I tried the Golf metrics app for the first time a few days ago... Very interesting results. Always thougth I was evenly good/bad on each part of the game with my hcp 8. But the numbers told me something else. OK from tee, approach BAD, putting BAD, and finaly a pro-like short game. I'm not losing strokes against a pro from 20-60 exept from the bunker! So what to do now, make the bad a little less bad or make the good parts awesome 😏 I will continue with the app and maybe it all levels out eventually. But I am going to brag about my pro like short game 😁
I will say no, and the reason why is that it’s getting in the way of my course management. It sometimes are very helpful but I find that when I plan to miss a specific area through course management obviously the stats are showing it. That doesn’t mean I did not play like I planned to play and a lot of the times I played there for a reason. Strokes gained is cold hard stats that does not take the bigger picture in mind. It’s great to know how you are doing against benchmarks and which areas are needing some help but it can be messy. In my example if I am laying up missing specifically my approach gained will look bad but putting might be better as I am closer to the hole
I know what it is because of golf betting but not sure how to calculate it exactly for my own game.. I do know where I lose strokes from though and working on improving that now
I have been using things like game golf etc for my rounds for a number of years...I let that worry about my stats I just try to hit the ball ....I know which are the "more valuable" skills if you want to put it that way. I know it's drive for show drive for dough (no I didn't miss quote it strokes gained has demonstrated distance from the tee is probably the most valuable golf skill at the minute ) hence the number of power players at the top of the game right now
I understand the concept, I don't understand it in its entirety not that it's overly complicated but I am not a serious enough golfer to care to go too deep. Basically I am just trying to not 3 putt anything and hit straight shots.
I'm practicing my iron striking to confirm my yardages so I can be confident in hitting second and a Preach shots closer to the pin - it's starting to pay off - majority of shots in yesterday's round were pin high even if slightly off the green!
I understand it very well... Actually wish I was the one coming up with it (I'm almost a younger version of Mark Broadie, so I really could have... but I'm late to the party!)
There are better stats than strokes gained. I use Mark Brodie's GolfMetrics app. Yes, the strokes gained stats are useful, but it also provides several stats that I think are more directly useful for improvement: 1. Make % from 3-6 feet. This has got to be high. 2. Make % from 7-9,10-12,13-17. You have to make some of these. 3. 3-putts from 30-40,40+. Needs to be low. 4. Distance from the hole for 0-20yrd chips. 5ft for scratch. 5. Distance from the hole for 100-150yrd approaches. 29ft for scratch. It also shows you strokes gained for every shot. So if you birdie a par three, you might have saved half a stroke on the tee shot and half a stroke on the put.
Don’t agree either fairways hit stat. I count if I have a shot at the green just like your first hole. Fairway doesn’t mean better position al the time. Going to start strokes gained from the next round. Reckon I’ll need to improve approach play
I sort of understand strokes gained, however, I am happy just to be playing, would strokes gained actually help me reduce my handicap, I’m not convinced it would. I have my Garmin which I download and have a look at distances hit with each club etc, then try to eliminate the bad shots next time out by remembering what I did the round before. Of course, that’s great on home track, when at a different course then just use it for distances and hazard identification etc etc.
What irons are in your golf bag right now golfers?
Miz MP20's, S18 wedges
Ordered brand new Mizuno JPX 921 Hot metals 8 weeks ago, they arrived just over a week ago. Absolutely love them.
TM Rac LT from maybe 2005. I do feel I'm lacking a punch from 175+so might look at blending in a couple of meatier clubs from 6 up.
Im very much enjoying my new Apex TCB´s. Like them alot!
Ordered new Callaway Apex on May 19th, they’re still not here! Brexit, COVID, the boats stuck in the canal, supply issues with shafts and grips.
These delays must have cost the golf industry havoc financially.
Would love you to do an investigative piece Mark.
One of the your best videos Mark! Using DECADE now as well.
Great way to explain STOKES GAINED..... i do not play enough to use but see the need for people that play a lot... I am working on knowing my patterns.
Thanks, Mark purchased the Shotscope but been struggling to gain the benefit, thanks for the explaination
Yes. It has emphasized to me what I knew, but it helped me focus on specific phase of my game.
I understand. It has highlighted the areas I need to improve on, approach shots and short game.
I use Arccos, and it has been eye opening for me, as I’m sure all other systems are to those you use them. My tendency was to be short and to the right on my approach shots, so I worked on taking more club and practicing a draw with my irons. Can’t say enough good things about Arccos.

Never really thought about it before but this video has been quite insightful Mark.
Going to start now 👍
I bought Arccoss Caddie this year, full Strokes Gained data from 15 rounds and now I know where I need to improve. Wish I had done it years ago!
I think so. Been a massive help for me as taken the emotional responses out and actual allowed me to understand what a good and bad shot is etc
Short game and putting, specifically lag putting from outside 20 feet. Huge improvements in lag putting since watching the video where you gave Rory some ideas to help his long putting. Huge gains! Thanks Mark!

Yes, recently, reinforced what I knew and showed me where I need to focus.
Been using it for a few months now. Absolutely get it and has been so useful. Really helped get a handle on my weaknesses
Yes, I understand Strokes Gained, mostly thanks to this guy. I'm missing too many approaches short, so that's where I'm focusing.
I used it for a few months. I learned that my short game was much better then I thought and my putting was terrible. Very useful to decide on what to practice

Yes, I’ve really been using it a lot this year and it’s showing where I’m weak in reality to where I thought I was “alright”
I’ve been using shotscope for a few months and love the strokes gain feature. It’s been very beneficial for focusing my practice routine
Yes. Been trying to use it but need better capture tool.
I think I understand strokes gained on a basic level and it’s helped confirm the areas of my game that need the most work.
Practicing chips and bunkers. I've seen much improvement on strokes gained because I've been taking time to work on these areas.
100% need to work on putting. Just ordered my Shot Scope also. Looking forward to collecting those stats.
I understand it, first used it in gamegolf, then golf metrics, now just signed up to decade.

How can you track shots gained without shotscope though?
Great video. What I missed was ho to sign up for Shots Gained and how to enter the data.
You need to buy a shotscope V3 watch to get this data. It's brilliant.
I hear it all the time when watching a tournament, but never really understood it. Gotta check, but I think my 18 Birdies app has some comparison stats. I think it tracks pars, birdies, putts, fairways, and GIR. I don’t think it tracks shot percentages...gotta go check.
Is that shot scope v3 watch and are you tracking your shots ?? I'm thinking of getting that
Yes it's the V3. It does it all for you
Recently bought my first fairway a Speedzone 5W so practicing that
I use Arccos and it has been confirmed what I already knew. I love it and it’s a good overview of your game strengths and weaknesses
But questions how they calculate with some data…. Give you an example ..
They talk about an average driving distance ( par 4 & 5 for a x HCP for a y number of rounds .
I can only relate to this if they also talked about the same courses played as it could be that you are using on tights courses more a 5W as it bring you less into problems ….
Looks like a great tool. Never heard of it before.
What app can u use for strokes gained on iPhone. ….????
Have never used strokes gained, very interesting. Working on driving at the moment. Trying to get to single figures, would be great to use strokes gained v single figure handicap
What are you practicing next? I'm practicing SG off the tee. Trying to find the right combo of distance and accuracy to limit being in the trees and losing strokes before I even get to the fairway
Using Arccos SG is in my face, sometimes against my feeling but based on the numbers it guides you where to practice. Difficult thing to avoid is over thinking everything.
How would go about quantifying strokes gained on courses you only get to play once though ? Or only a couple of times.
So I tried the Golf metrics app for the first time a few days ago... Very interesting results. Always thougth I was evenly good/bad on each part of the game with my hcp 8. But the numbers told me something else. OK from tee, approach BAD, putting BAD, and finaly a pro-like short game. I'm not losing strokes against a pro from 20-60 exept from the bunker!

I will continue with the app and maybe it all levels out eventually. But I am going to brag about my pro like short game 😁
I use gain/loss vs my handicap group. I really focus on loss, so I know where to improve my game.
I will say no, and the reason why is that it’s getting in the way of my course management. It sometimes are very helpful but I find that when I plan to miss a specific area through course management obviously the stats are showing it. That doesn’t mean I did not play like I planned to play and a lot of the times I played there for a reason. Strokes gained is cold hard stats that does not take the bigger picture in mind. It’s great to know how you are doing against benchmarks and which areas are needing some help but it can be messy. In my example if I am laying up missing specifically my approach gained will look bad but putting might be better as I am closer to the hole
How do you record data and assign values?
I use shot scope
Yes I understand strokes gained
using my Garmin wrist device and analysis
I think I know what strokes gained are about that allows you to see how you perform against different handicaps for specific areas of your game.
I don't fully understand strokes gained but I do understand the concept
Yes I understand
I know what it is because of golf betting but not sure how to calculate it exactly for my own game.. I do know where I lose strokes from though and working on improving that now
I have been using things like game golf etc for my rounds for a number of years...I let that worry about my stats I just try to hit the ball ....I know which are the "more valuable" skills if you want to put it that way. I know it's drive for show drive for dough (no I didn't miss quote it strokes gained has demonstrated distance from the tee is probably the most valuable golf skill at the minute ) hence the number of power players at the top of the game right now
Yes understand. Made me realise my irons are good for handicap. Driver abs putter are not! Semi knew already but made me properly know
There's a smudge on your camera, that's been on the last couple of vids, that I just can't unsee! Haha. Excellent content as always!! Fums up bruv!
Short to mid range putts. For my handicap I should hole so many more. I use Arccos
I understand the concept, I don't understand it in its entirety not that it's overly complicated but I am not a serious enough golfer to care to go too deep. Basically I am just trying to not 3 putt anything and hit straight shots.

I’m a word, No. But ordered V3 today so keen to learn how to use it.
What are you practicing next
Strokes gained has changed how I view the game of golf. I play much more aggressively now
There are better stats than strokes gained.
I use Mark Brodie's GolfMetrics app. Yes, the strokes gained stats are useful, but it also provides several stats that I think are more directly useful for improvement:
1. Make % from 3-6 feet. This has got to be high.
2. Make % from 7-9,10-12,13-17. You have to make some of these.
3. 3-putts from 30-40,40+. Needs to be low.
4. Distance from the hole for 0-20yrd chips. 5ft for scratch.
5. Distance from the hole for 100-150yrd approaches. 29ft for scratch.
It also shows you strokes gained for every shot. So if you birdie a par three, you might have saved half a stroke on the tee shot and half a stroke on the put.
Yes.
Don’t agree either fairways hit stat. I count if I have a shot at the green just like your first hole. Fairway doesn’t mean better position al the time. Going to start strokes gained from the next round. Reckon I’ll need to improve approach play
Between arccos data and the decade system I’ve learned a lot.
I sort of understand strokes gained, however, I am happy just to be playing, would strokes gained actually help me reduce my handicap, I’m not convinced it would. I have my Garmin which I download and have a look at distances hit with each club etc, then try to eliminate the bad shots next time out by remembering what I did the round before. Of course, that’s great on home track, when at a different course then just use it for distances and hazard identification etc etc.
Going to be practicing hitting different flights with my irons. Been playing a lot less and found I lost the ability to control trajectory
Yes
Can you do a strokes gained putting video
Why are shots from the fairway are not counted toward overall strokes gained?
