Your numbers are trying to tell you something. Caddio connects the dots. Practice intelligence for indoor and simulator golfers. Smash factor, launch angle, spin rate, carry, dispersion. Caddio reads your launch monitor data across sessions and tells you what's working, what's slipping, and what's actually worth practicing next. GET YOUR DATA IN THREE WAYS Snap a photo of your launch monitor, upload a screenshot, or import a CSV. Caddio reads it instantly. Works with Trackman, Foresight, GSPro, Uneekor, SkyTrak, Mevo, Garmin, and more. WHAT CADDIO DOES - READS THE SESSION, NOT JUST THE SHOTS: Caddio reads the whole session so you're not decoding a spreadsheet at midnight. - SEES THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN YOUR METRICS: Your driver carry drops and it's usually attack angle, not swing speed. Caddio finds the relationships that explain why your numbers move, not just that they moved. - CHECKS YOUR FEEL AGAINST THE NUMBERS: You thought you flushed it. The numbers say you were eight yards short off the toe. Tag how a shot felt and Caddio shows you where your gut and the data agree, and where they don't. - REMEMBERS, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO: Every session builds on the last one. Caddio keeps your history by club and pattern, so you walk into the bay knowing where you left off. - SORTS OUT YOUR BAG: See where your distances overlap, where you have gaps, and what your real carry numbers say about the clubs you trust. WHO IT'S FOR Golfers who are serious about getting better and want more from their practice. If you've ever finished a session wondering what it all added up to, that's the gap Caddio fills.
