Hi I’m Matt Lockey, welcome to my Coach Lockey YouTube Channel. This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, and to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf course vlogs, golf challenges, golf tips, golf lessons, golf club reviews and the odd golf club unboxing. So pretty much everything golf!
I want to help you play better golf by providing coaching videos on all topics about golf. How to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
As well as helping you produce the best long game you can have, I will help you lower your scores by chipping better, stopping duff and thin chips, pitching the ball closer and creating backspin like the tour pros. Finally, I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts too!
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.

Possibly the best slide of my life in this introduction 😂
Let me know you’re thoughts in the comments people. Are you a GPS or Laser Rangefinder golfer??
I use the V3; if I could afford to I would upgrade, it looks superb.
i got a v3 shot scope watch and thinking very hard of getting the new x5 thanks for the review
Got the v3 and happy with that. Will await the next model in 18 months to 2 years time. I like the square look of the V3. Are the new tags more accurate? Are they compatible with the v3? No doubt they’ll be an option to buy them separately.
Nice video, 2 questions:
1. So to get the correct tracking you need to pick the club out from the bag where your ball is. Or does it somehow pick up on the swing?
2. Can you use both yards & meters?
Ordered yesterday but have too wait as Shotscope will not ship before mid April 😢. This will be my first data collecting tool. Wanted Arccos, but I didn’t like the subscription fee.
You totally had me, then you lost all your credibility when you turned your cap around. LOL
Not really. Great video and thanks for showing us all the cool features on the new watch version. I was about to order the V3 as I see that they come out with the brand new one.
Wife got me the v3 for Christmas, no chance I'm upgrading. There not daft are they at shotscope, instead of realising the new before Christmas they go and do it after knowing fully well that alot of people would of bought the last model and as people tend to like the latest and greatest models they know alot of people will buy the new one even though they have just got the last version, so they get even more of your money.
A sales pitch😮
Have last year's model which is great but jealous of this one cause much nicer watch – better looking and better shape
I hope they update the non-watch version. I currently use their h4 and would love the new features of this.
I have the V3 version and very happy with it too. I love the ShotScope products and the app to analyse my stats. I’d be lost without it 👍🏻🏌🏽🏌🏼♀️🏌🏻♂️⛳️
Hi Coach, I have the V3 and found the tags a bit hit and miss on recording shots. Are the new tags any more reliable?
I would like to know if that new strap will fit on the other watch Like maybe the new tags with it As am happy with the old watch Thinking the new watch looks too big
Nice review but I'm not entirely convinced to upgrade from my v3, which I'm very happy with. Looks like it lags a bit with the touch screen and it doesn't at all with the v3, where I like that everything is managed via the buttons. Also like v3 design better. X5 looks big? I know that I will not use the function of placing the flag on Green at all. I have rangefinder to get accurate distance. The only thing I miss in v3 is live scoring. The bracelet has always worked well and the tags work almost 100%. So for me there needs to be a better update for me to buy. But it will be fun to see other reviews during the year, maybe I Will change my mind?
I am a happy V3 user but I couldn’t pass up the $100 discount. I currently use an iPhone app for hole layouts and to track score that I refer to while editing. Once hole view is released I don’t think I will need the phone app anymore. The last thing missing is being able to connect shotscope to USGA GHIN to post HC.
would you say this is better than the GARMIN APPROACH S12 or S42 or S62 ? looking for a good golf watch…cheers from Canada
Just upgraded from the V3. Love shotscope products, prefer the old dashboard layout tbh but the kit itself is always spot on.
Love using the V3 but also use a separate golf app on the phone for hole overview and keeping score, it'll be great to have it all in one device (when the hole overview upgrade is released). Ordered the V5 so I'm looking forward to using it.
I've got the V3 and those improvements sound so good. I had those same issues with the watch strap and the tracking tags so it's great to hear that ShotScope have improved there. Must admit it looks so much better as well. Just a shame I've only had my v3 a year otherwise I would be gearing up for the V5. Is the watch strap still very rubbery? I find it quite uncomfortable.
How many takes did need to nail that intro slide, bruh?
Range finder review please
Thanks 4 your demo. I’ve using my Garmin VIVOACTIVE 3 full activity watch to track shots off the tee and yardage on the course. However, the Vivoactive 3 is an older Garmin technology product….So, I have to download each course prior to playing. Therefore, I’ve been considering an upgrade. This shot scope product seems like a good option. However, I like the idea of having one watch 4 all my activities. Thanks again.
How many takes did your entrance take😂
got it on order, upgrading from the V3, like the way the tags now sit flush on rounded grips, the old ones can snap off, particularly if you lob the club across the fairway. Don't ask me how I know that…
Couldn’t live without my V3….but placed an order for the stealth black x5👌
Ordered mine. SS make great products albeit I think the stats platform could do with an upgrade. It’s unnecessarily complex in places. Helpful review.
I was a previous V2 and V3 user. I changed last year to a Garmin S62. In my opinion the Garmin is a far superior product overall. When it comes down to it, I only want to have one watch for on and off course. The X5 is trying to address some of those issues, but it's still not a full smart watch and in the modern world, that feels like a bit of a miss on their part. I'll admit the stats available for free with Garmin are nowhere near what ShotScope offers for free, but at the moment that's secondary to convenience for me. The Garmin does have a slope option as well, so Coach saying GPS watches don't come with them isn't correct. Also the battery life on the Garmin is exceptional. Here the X5 is offering "up to 2 rounds of golf"…with respect, "up to…." means absolute maximum under optimal conditions. I'll get at least 3 rounds from a fully charged Garmin, plus at least another day, often 2 of general usage before it needs charging. The changes to the strap and tags is a massive plus, but until ShotScope come to the table with the full smart watch plus all the golf features, I'll be sticking to the Garmin.
How are the tags on mallet putters?? I had an issue with them screwing into my mallet putter with the last generation.
Just ordered mine – agree that the strap upgrade looks really good as my V3 comes undone quite a bit when I’m using my small carry bag. Taken to wearing it on my right wrist to combat this, so happy about this feature on X5. Also like the fact that you can correct the score on the watch and that they are offering the free whole hole view upgrade. As a V3 user I was very pleased to be offered a discount for the upgrade – makes me feel like a valued customer. Always enjoy your content and reviews – thanks 🙏🏻
I bought a generic Garmin sports watch as I generally speaking only use the distance function. I do also have a rangefinder to shoot the flag if I don't see the green. In Finland, it's pretty common for the courses to have a map of the hole at the tee box, so I'll refer those for hazard reachable from the box. Not that it helps too much… 😀
My experience with the current version is that it is hopeless at tracking where you hit your putts from and where the pin is on the green – it often positions it off the green! Shots from bunkers also often appear outside the bunkers. I have had lengthy correspondence with Shotscope about this and they admitted it wasn’t that accurate on greens. Have you tried tracking putt positions on the new watch?
It would have been better if you had taken your shot scope and compared the accuracy.
V3 user and just treat myself to the X5 for me old Birthday 🎉 (cheeky £100 off why not!). Great review Coach and thanks!
I have an Garmin s60 Love it!
I have the V3 and have the X5 on order.
I’m pleased to see the strap issue on the V3 has been addressed. I’ve been using an elastic band to keep mine on which it not a good look.
Having the scoring option as you finish a hole is a plus – apart from anything else it is an extra reminder to enter the putts.
The new tags look like a big upgrade as well.
One of my existing tags sheared off leaving the threaded piece in the club. Their appears to be no easy way to get it out.
If anyone has found a solution to this problem please let me know.
Anyway happy to stick with a company that rewards its existing customers and is always looking to improve its products.
