Arccos Golf, the leader in connected AI golf products and Official Game Tracker of the PGA TOUR, today launched Arccos Air, a breakthrough in game tracking. This wearable device is small enough to slip into your pocket, yet powerful enough to apply AI to detect and track every shot automatically — no sensors, no phone, no interruption. When the round ends, the Arccos app tells you exactly where you gained or lost strokes, how you compare to benchmarks, and what to practice.

Arccos Air packs gyroscope and accelerometer technology into an AI wearable the size of an AirPods case to analyze golf swing motion, and GPS to identify your exact location on the course. AI models trained on 4 trillion data points from 1.5 billion golf shots distinguish actual shots from practice swings — automatically, with no need for manual input. The result is a complete analysis of every stroke on every round, captured without the golfer having to think about it.

The secret to Arccos Air is the largest performance dataset in golf. Arccos has tracked 25 million rounds and transformed powerful analysis into intuitive insights and clear recommendations that enable its members to improve: lowering their handicaps by 25 percent in their first year on average, hitting approach shots 14.9 feet closer to the pin, and even multiplying their chance of a Hole-in-One. Arccos Air now brings this level of analysis to any golfer, without requiring club sensors, carrying a phone, or interrupting how they play.

"Arccos Air removes the biggest barrier golfers have had to understanding their game," said Sal Syed, CEO and Co-founder of Arccos Golf. "Now, you don't have to manage sensors or think about technology. You just play. And when the round is over, you know exactly where you gained strokes, where you lost them, and what to work on next. That kind of clarity leads to smarter decisions and ultimately lower scores."

“Arccos Air is incredibly accurate and easy to use,” said Matt Fitzpatrick, Major Champion and Arccos Tour Ambassador. “You just put it in your pocket and play, and the insights you get afterward show exactly how your game is performing. That same strategy has been transformational for me and helped me win a major.”

Arccos Air works on its own or alongside Arccos Smart Sensors, giving golfers true flexibility in how they play and track their game while maintaining access to the full Arccos ecosystem — including Strokes Gained Analytics, AI Strategy, and Green Maps for 9,000 courses and counting.

The launch follows the recent introduction of the Arccos Smart Laser Rangefinder, which delivers the most accurate "Plays Like" distance in golf — adjusting not only for slope, but also for real-time weather conditions like wind speed, direction, and gusts, which make a more meaningful difference in club selection.

Together, Arccos Air and the Arccos Smart Laser Rangefinder reflect the company's investment in applied AI and commitment to improving performance for dedicated golfers. They expand Arccos's market, offering personalized, actionable insights through sophisticated yet simple technology for more types of golfers: whether they prefer the freedom of sensorless tracking, the definitive data of club sensors, or the smarts of a connected rangefinder.

Arccos Air is available now at arccosgolf.com and on Amazon, priced at $349.99, which includes a first-year Game Tracking subscription valued at $199.99. The Arccos Smart Laser Rangefinder is priced at $299.99, also including a first-year subscription valued at $199.99.
