New Arccos Smart Distances, now available after just one round.
At Arccos, we're driven by a simple mission: to help golfers of all levels play smarter, enjoy the game, and shoot lower scores. To further reach and fulfil our mission, we're thrilled to unveil the latest evolution of one of our most beloved features—Smart Distances - a tool that provides personalised insights into how far you truly hit each club in your bag. This update is a reinvention powered by the insights we've gathered from tracking over 1 billion shots.
This monumental milestone in our data has allowed us to add more value to our existing Smart Distance. By leveraging this vast pool of information, we've reengineered our machine-learning models to deliver precise, personalised distance predictions after just one round of golf. Now, you can understand exactly how far you hit each club with unparalleled accuracy, right from the start.
Why Smart Distances Matter
Understanding your true distances is crucial for making informed decisions on the course. It eliminates guesswork, boosts confidence, and helps lead to better scores. In fact, our recent user survey confirmed that knowing exact club distances is consistently among the top reasons golfers love using Arccos.
But we knew we could make this feature even better. We saw an opportunity to enhance the value of our Smart Distances by making them more immediate, intelligent, and personalised. The goal? To help you enjoy golf more and encourage you to play even more rounds with Arccos by your side.
What's New with Smart Distances?
We've implemented several key improvements to ensure that Smart Distances deliver unparalleled value from the moment you start using Arccos. Here's what's new:
Instant Insights After Just One Round
Waiting for multiple rounds to gather enough data for accurate distance measurements is now a thing of the past. With our updated Smart Distances:
- Immediate Feedback: After completing just one round, you'll receive comprehensive distance data for every club in your bag—even those you didn't use during the round.
- AI-Powered Predictions: Leveraging our vast database of over a billion shots, our advanced AI models can predict your club distances with remarkable accuracy right from the start.
Dave LeDonne, our VP of Product, puts it best:
"Our Smart Distances have always been a well-loved feature because they help golfers hit more greens and play better. They used to require many shots with each club to really dial them in, but by drawing on a BILLION shots, we're jump-starting smart distances right after the first round. We're still preserving Smart Distances for 'mature' clubs with more than 30 shots—but now we'll be better, quicker."
Smarter and More Adaptive Over Time
While the initial predictions are impressively accurate, Smart Distances continue to refine and adapt as you play more:
- Continuous Improvement: As you log more rounds and shots, the system fine-tunes your distances, ensuring they reflect your current performance and conditions.
- Dynamic Adjustments: Whether you're improving your swing, trying new techniques, or adjusting to different courses, Smart Distances evolve with you, providing the most relevant data at all times.
The Impact: Play Smarter and Enjoy
We believe these enhancements will significantly elevate your golfing experience:
- Increased Confidence: With accurate distance data available immediately, you'll make smarter club selections and strategic decisions from your very next round.
