![]() ![]() Included in the negotiation between Solheim and Arccos co-founder and CEO Sal Syed is a 90-day free trial (for consumers who outfit their entire set of clubs) of the Arccos Caddie app, the company’s artificial intelligence platform capable of game-tracking all of a player’s shots in a round of golf.Īs a matter of disclosure, Cobra Golf’s alignment with Arccos remains unchanged. The popular Golf Pride 360 Tour Velvet white (standard) and undersized Aqua (-1/64 inch) will be the stock offering.
