Taylormade is slowly working the bugs out of the band app. My last couple of rounds transferred just fine to myroundpro. I'm having some trouble with editing the information though; for example, on one hole I removed and added some shots but two shots are recorded but not showing up on the graphic and because they can't be seen, there appears to be no way to delete them and start over. Any suggestions?

Are you editing on the myroundpro website? The strokes will show below the image in a list
1 tee
2 fairway
3 green
and so forth. Are you seeing all of the strokes there?
Sometimes on the map it may have several strokes in the same place, you may not be able to see them all. If that's the case reorder them below and then delete on the map once it shows up.

here's what's weird about it--the strokes are noted below, but do not appear the graphic of the hole/green and there doesn't appear to be anyway to edit/delete and replace those strokes. The two strokes are noted below the graphic of the hole/green. I'm thinking I might be partially responsible for this in that I may have inadvertently moved the markers for these two strikes outside of the graphic area and that may be why I can't "see" them. I thought there must be someway to delete all data on a particular hole, allowing me to start over entering data on that hole, but apparently not. (Like many app developers, Taylormade apparently thinks we can learn how to use their app by osmosis or divine intervention, thus eliminating the need for a musty old manual. I'd like a manual, musty or otherwise, please).

this isn't a big deal, but what I'm trying to get a handle on is how easy, or difficult, is it to edit a round on myroundpro. The advanced statistics are only as useful as the data is accurate, and one concern is that you essentially have to keep a paper copy of your scorecard in order to properly edit myroundpro later, which sort of defeats the purpose of using the band (or at least I do; my brother can recall what baseball/softball game from twenty years ago featured which play at the plate and what the count is. I think remembering what you had for breakfast is an accomplishment). You could simply collect more data via paper and transfer it later and skip the band approach.

It seems to me to be truly competitive with gamegolf and arccos, two more expensive data collection golf programs, there would need to be some way to auto collect data that shows, for example, what club you're using. I can do this now, using my aging golfshot windows program, but golfshot has abandoned the windows platform.

In many respects the taylormade app works well--if you pay attention to wearing it on the leading wrist, give it a good practice swing to start, you will likely get several, and perhaps many, holes properly recorded. Greens are still occasionally problematic and the problem discussed above of having to record all data, because you don't what data you're missing without, at a minimum, checking the app regularly, still remains.

Strictly as an app for measuring distance, and keeping score of the round (skipping the alleged analytics which are affected by the data collection problems discussed earlier), the taylormade app for the Band is a winner. Whether it will be able to go a step or two beyond that is less clear.

Can you zoom out on the graphic? Seems like there was a zoom on the website.

 

[gbafam]

I've tried that. The circle markers with the stroke number don't show up, so it isn't possible to edit those two strokes. They appear below, in narrative block form, and you can switch the order, but cannot delete/edit/move them. Very odd.

 

[golfingasu]

I thought the same thing. You would think you could delete it from the list below. Kind of weird that you can just move them.

 

[golfingasu]

One thing to try. I pulled it up on my iPhone under the website myroundpro.com. I was able to move the graphic around and see lots more of the area. Try and see if you can do it on a mobile device. Was able to touch hold and drag the image in all directions.

Has anyone had issues with the 'STATS' data??? I've logged my first 9 holes, and after some editing got the data all ok. The problem is though, when i looked at the STATS data it showed my driver misses to the LEFT and they were to the RIGHT??? WTF... this software seems flaky as hell!

 

[Rolyo]

My stats seem to be OK. Although surprised a few of my drives down the middle are showing in the rough. Maybe I have marked those like that accidentally. Have only entered 3 rounds so far but it is beginning to build up a useful picture. Only just realised you can move the flag position for putts so that should help too.

My only complaint so far is that if I miss the fairway badly I cannot see the shot when I edit the round, shots only seem to show up on the highlighted part of the course. I have to delete them and add a new one that I can see.
