With Unbeatable $99.99 SRP, and NO monthly subscription fees, CONNEX Joins Shot Scope’s Line-Up of Products that Offer Golf’s Most Affordable and Accurate Game Tracking Technology, Backed by Over 100 Statistics;
Ultra Lightweight “Plug and Play” Tags are Powered by the Shot Scope App and Work “Contactless” Through A Mobile Phone
Edinburgh, UK – Shot Scope, the golf industry-leader in advanced GPS and shot tracking technology, today introduced CONNEX Performance Tags, an innovation that provides amateur golfers with the same on course game analysis data as professional tour players.
Offered at an unbeatable $99.99 price point with no subscription fees, the ultra-lightweight (2 grams) CONNEX “plug and play” tags easily screw into the end of each club grip. Powered by the FREE Shot Scope app (iOS/Android) golfers can record their shots via “contactless technology” on their mobile phone, establishing another method of game tracking using golf’s most affordable and accurate platform backed by over 100 performance statistics.
“The debut of CONNEX Performance Tracking Tags greatly enhances our Shot Scope portfolio of products, from GPS Watches to Laser Rangefinders, offering unprecedented technology features that provide golfers with the on-course distance information and performance data needed to play smarter, understand their game better, improve on-course strategy and shoot lower scores,” said David Hunter, CEO, Shot Scope.
CONNEX performance tracking tags with RFID technology captures every shot hit on the golf course from tee to green, allowing golfers to record their score and collect personalized data as they play. Golfers simply tap their club against the phone prior to a shot and the shot tracking takes over. After the round, golfers can easily log into their Shot Scope App and analyze performance statistics, reviewing data on club distances, approaches, short game, putting, shot dispersion and much more. Additionally, golfers can learn their strengths and weaknesses with Shot Scope’s Strokes Gained and Handicap Benchmarking, so they can determine key areas for practice and improvement.
CONNEX tags, which DO NOT require a Smart Watch or GPS Device, offer so much more than performance tracking. On the 1st tee, golfers quickly open the app, select a course, and get access to full course aerial maps that give a bird’s eye view of every hole, including distance measurements to the front, middle, and back of the green, plus any point on the hole such as a hazard or distance to a dogleg. Golfers can also review each green layout and move the pin position for more accurate yardages. With over 36,000 courses accurately mapped by Shot Scope, golfers will have all the distances they need to perform at their best.
Once golfers begin capturing their performance data on the course, Shot Scope allows them to build a game improvement strategy based on the golf courses they regularly play, including shots plotted and course analysis. Detailed putting data that is captured during a round also enables in-depth analysis, while statistics aggregated off the tee and on the fairway, can be broken down by lie type, distance, club used, proximity, round and season.

While golfers can analyze their own performance after every round, one of the greatest game improvement benefits of the CONNEX tracking tags is the connectivity with Shot Scope Academy, a first-of-its-kind game tracking system — designed specifically for PGA Professionals, golf coaches, and teachers — that establishes a tether between instructors and golfers to track and analyze their performance on the course. Post round, and once all data captured from tee to green is seamlessly uploaded to the Shot Scope App, golfers can instantly connect with their instructor who can view and analyze the round and, in-turn, send game improvement recommendations or lesson plans.
Adds Hunter, “With hundreds of thousands of golfers around the world using Shot Scope products every day our technology is proven to lower scores and improve performance for golfers of all playing levels. However, through Shot Scope Academy our ability to connect golfers with instructors for post-round game analysis is truly revolutionary, as an instructor can see first-hand how the golfer is performing from tee-to-green, and immediately provide expert insight.”
Shot Scope’s CONNEX Performance Tracking Tags, which have an SRP of $99.99 and conform to the Rules of Golf, can be purchased at Dick’s Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, PGA Superstores, golf specialty stores, or online at www.shotscope.com/products/shot-tracking/connex/.
