Arccos Caddie Smart Sensors Gen 3+ Hardware Update
As far as hardware goes, the new Arccos Gen3+ system includes 13 Smart Sensors with a sleek new design and a new P3 Putter sensor that is 40% smaller and 20% lighter.
While the 13 smart sensors have a sleeker look, they are the same size as the old Gen3. They are relatively unnoticeable on your clubs.
The major difference you'll find in the hardware of the Arccos Gen3+ sensors is that the putter sensor is smaller.
The previous Arccos putter sensor had a tendency to hang over the edge of some putter grips—thus, the reduction in size in the Gen3+ putter sensor.
Additionally, the new Arccos Caddie Smart Sensors have improved battery life.
