FS Skills vs Better Golf Practice

FlightScope Skills allows golfers to test their skills on Apple mobile devices using a FlightScope radar unit. It works by presenting a sequence of virtual targets in a session where golfers can hit shots to each target. Each shot is scored, based on its proximity to the target, and cumulated to give an overall score/performance for the session. The app is fully customizable. Golfers can create their own targets, based on shape, distance and size depending on their goal. Golfers can also create extra pressure during the session by adding a time limit and can have targets pop up randomly to mimic a real golf round. FlightScope Skills users will be able to upload and review their scores and data on MyFlightScope.com. This app can be used both indoors and outdoors. FlightScope Skills is the latest teaching aid from FlightScope to enable golfers to: - Track real-time measured data - Create and play custom skills challenges - Practice and benchmark with FlightScope Combines - Analyze scores/statistics - View FocusBand (mental training) integration data as they play - Compete, compare & share with friends on MyFlightScope.com - Play global competitions and earn a spot on one of the MyFlightScope.com leader boards This product is patented.

THE PROBLEM You practice and feel good, but you get to the course and the progress doesn't show up. Hitting the same shot over and over builds confidence in the moment, but it doesn’t prepare you for the course where every shot is different. THE SOLUTION Better Golf Practice structures your sessions into block and random practice based on motor learning research.  Block practice means repeating the same shot. It works well for warming up or reinforcing desired feelings. But skills learned exclusively this way don't transfer well. Random practice means varying the target each time. It feels harder, and your performance during practice appears worse, but it forces your brain to solve a new problem with each shot—exactly what the course demands. The research calls this the "contextual interference effect": variability during practice leads to better retention and performance. The app combines both. Block practice to calibrate, random practice to train and test yourself. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a module: full swing, wedges, putting, or green reading. 2. Select the time you have available. 3. Receive a guided practice routine with a handicap appropriate split between block and random practice. During random practice, you'll record your final set of shots (the "test" phase). The app measures execution errors (mishits) separately from decision errors (wrong club, misread break or speed), so you know what to work on. Track your patterns over time in the stats section to see the improvement. Four (4) free sessions per month. Unlimited with a subscription.
