Arccos continues to lead in the stat tracking category with its innovative club sensors and multi-platform compatibility, making it easy for golfers to personalize their experience. The new Arccos Link Pro has recently been released, offering improved battery life, better app connectivity, and a more user-friendly experience. I tested the Link Pro on a recent golf trip to see how it performed.
The set-up and ease of use for the Arccos Link Pro were straightforward, requiring only a quick charge and app update. Unlike its predecessor, the Link Pro sits in your pocket during rounds, eliminating the need for a belt clip. While this simplifies the user experience, it makes accessing the Pin button for marking pin locations slightly more challenging.
The Arccos Link Pro boasts several positive changes, including significantly better battery life that lasted through multiple rounds without needing a charge. The wireless charging case also allows for on-the-go charging, providing the convenience of playing several rounds without connecting to a power outlet. The Link Pro demonstrated improved connection speed to the app and maintained a strong GPS signal throughout the round.
Despite its improvements, the Arccos Link Pro does have some drawbacks. The removal of the belt clip may inconvenience users who prefer easy access to the Pin button. Additionally, the Pin button lacks feedback when pressed, which can be frustrating for users who want confirmation that the pin location has been marked accurately.
Priced at $225, the value of the Arccos Link Pro depends on the user’s current experience with Arccos products. Existing Link owners may not find the upgrade necessary unless they require extended battery life and wireless charging. However, new Arccos users may benefit from the Link Pro’s enhanced features, such as increased freedom from the phone and improved pin location marking for precise stats.
In conclusion, the Arccos Link Pro is a minor upgrade from previous versions, offering improved battery life and a simpler user experience. While it may not be a significant advancement, the Link Pro is a solid option for golfers looking to enhance their stat tracking capabilities.
