About

Play FORE

Read full description

Hold your iPhone like a club and swing it. FORE reads your real swing 100 times a second. Swing harder and the ball flies further. Leave the face open and it drifts right, close it and it pulls left. Then the wind has its say. A shot tracer follows every ball through the sky, and every landing tells you your carry, your power and your face angle to the degree. New to it? A short range of five drills teaches you to swing soft, swing hard and shape it left and right. Or skip it and go straight to the tee. One island par 3, 153 yards over the water. Practice drills ask you to land it within 4 yards short, long, left or right, and tell you exactly how far you missed. Your closest shot stays on the tee, so the next swing always has something to beat. No aim stick, no power bar. Just your swing.
