Traditional practice often fails because repeating the same shot creates artificial comfort that vanishes on the course. Dialed breaks this pattern by introducing varied distances and the subtle pressure of recording every shot. This approach mirrors actual play conditions, where you face different shots each time and every stroke counts. Practice becomes more engaging and meaningful when it genuinely reflects the challenges of a real round. FEATURES • Select 9 or 18-hole practice formats for both indoor and outdoor settings • Choose from a variety of pre-designed course layouts • Detailed scoring and statistics tracking • Performance metrics to identify patterns and weaknesses • Round history with complete scorecards INDOOR AND OUTDOOR MODES • Indoor mode: Practice putts from 2.5 to 10 feet on a putting mat • Outdoor mode: Complete chip-to-putt sequences from 10 to 40 yards at a practice green * Coming soon: Build practice routines tailored to your own setup The short game is where strokes are saved. Dialed helps you focus your practice time on the shots that matter most.
