![]() I’ve always found it easy enough to do this whilst the device is on my belt but it’s also equally as easy to quickly remove the H4 from the clip and tap it onto the tag. In order to do this, the club tag screwed into each of your club grips works in tandem with the RFID technology built into the device and GPS satellites in the sky to record your position and club used for each and every shot.ĭue to the nature of the H4 being a handheld device, it will not track your shots automatically like the Shot Scope V3 does, so this needs to be done manually by tapping the club tag onto the screen of the H4. ![]() One of the best things about the Shot Scope H4 is the fact that can be used to track your performance on the golf course and provide you with access to so many statistics to help you improve your golf game. It’s essentially a case of turning the device on, choosing your game mode, selecting your course and heading to the first tee. In general, it really is straightforward to initiate a round on the H4. However, just to be on the safe side, I usually turn the device on and start my round as I make my way down to the golf course so that it has time to obtain a GPS fix and is ready for me to make my way to the first tee. Personally, I’ve not noticed any issues or delays in obtaining a GPS fix for any courses I have played with the H4 like I have occasionally with the V3 – granted I have used it a lot less than my V3. Provided you have subscribed to the course you are playing and have synchronised it with your device before you play, there shouldn’t be any issues locating the course and obtaining a GPS connection. Personally, I pretty much only ever use GPS and Track mode as I like to record all of my rounds and I find the GPS distance information incredibly helpful. Like the Shot Scope V3, the H4 has three main modes GPS and Track, Tracking only and GPS only. The magnet is really quite strong but it’s not to say that the device can’t become detached. The main issue I have with this design is that whilst the belt clip secures nicely to your waistband or belt, the device itself is only attached to the clip via a magnet, meaning it could potentially fall out of the holder and become lost on the golf course. The device is a neat and lightweight little unit that is designed to be worn on your belt when placed inside the small magnetic belt clip provided. As mentioned in my review of the Shot Scope V3, the device does look a little basic and less flashy than many of the other golf GPS watches and devices on the market, however, this really doesn’t bother me, especially given that the H4 is worn on your belt or in your pocket, and I actually quite like its simplicity, if I’m honest. ![]() The H4 Handheld essentially looks the same as the Shot Scope V3 golf watch, only without a strap, and it’s a little thicker due to the RFID technology being built into the device rather than into the strap like on the V3 watch. Sadly there is no green/hole overview on the display or ability to move the pin to specific locations to give you specific distances to the pin which is a shame however, the Shot Scope H4 is a reliable and useful GPS golf device and is the perfect option for golfers looking to improve their game without spending a great deal of money doing so. The device does look a little basic compared to other GPS devices and watches on the market but it is incredibly well-priced at under £130. Post-round editing is required due to GPS accuracy limitations, but the level of performance tracking is unmatched by other devices on the market. The GPS distances are generally accurate, and the hazard/layup features are useful. It’s easy to set up straight out of the box (although a mobile device is required) and even easier to use out on the golf course. It comes pre-loaded with over 36,000 golf courses worldwide, has a 15-hour battery life, conforms to the rules of golf, and has no on-going subscription fees. ![]() The Shot Scope H4 Handheld is a small golf GPS device worn on your belt or kept in your pocket which offers access to over 100 tour-level statistics about your golf game thanks to its performance tracking capabilities.
