Elite athletes have always known that the mind is the last frontier of performance. What they have lacked is a precise, scalable tool to train it. MindRange is that tool. MindRange doesn't replace the practice green. It supercharges it. Turn your living room into the ultimate mental practice facility, transforming the peer-reviewed science of motor imagery into a personalized, on-demand training session delivered straight to your earphones. BUILT ON REAL SCIENCE Studies (like Smith and Holmes, 2004) demonstrate that combining structured mental rehearsal with physical practice improves golf putting performance by 29% compared to physical practice alone. MindRange is not a replacement for your physical reps; it is the ultimate complement to them. The PETTLEP model codified exactly why this works: effective motor imagery must be Physical, Environmental, Task-specific, Timing-accurate, Learning-adaptive, Emotional, and Perspective-correct. MindRange solves the execution problem. The engine underneath is purpose-built against the PETTLEP framework to give you pure mental reps, grounded in research, built entirely around you. HOW IT WORKS 1. Answer a few quick questions: your skill focus, the course you play, your grip, your miss pattern, and your core swing thought. 2. Grab your putter and stand in your living room. 3. Complete a full session of guided mental rehearsal. Highly personalized, scientifically structured, and built around your game. CURRENT FOCUS: MASTERING THE FLATSTICK MindRange Version 1.0 is meticulously and exclusively optimized for putting performance. By narrowing our focus entirely to the green, we deliver the highest fidelity PETTLEP-compliant scripts possible to help you cure the yips, build confidence, and sink more putts. Full swing and driving modules are currently in development. FEATURES • Personalized Audio Coaching: Every session is uniquely generated based on your specific grip, miss pattern, and mental focus cue. • Train Anywhere: No drive to the range. No expensive coach on retainer. Get your mental reps in during the off-season, or in your hotel room the night before a round. • Science-Backed Architecture: Every script is dynamically built around your game — your grip, your miss, your course, your mindset. Stop grinding through the winter with nowhere to practice. Train your brain, lower your handicap, and get the exact same mental preparation tools that professionals take for granted.

Read full descriptionHide full description
Swing with a tempo you can repeat. Golf Rhythm Coach is a golf metronome that shows your swing as a moving light and counts it out loud: address, takeaway, transition. Free to practise, one purchase to remember your settings. Pick a club, press START and swing with the light. The light slows into the top, pauses, then accelerates through impact, the way a good swing does. Every count is a sound, a flash and a tap, so you can follow the tempo with your eyes, your ears or your hands. ■ TEMPO FOR EVERY CLUB - Nine presets from driver to putter, with men's and women's standards - 3:1 timing for full swings, 2:1 for the short game and putting - Five short-game paces for approach and bunker shots - Fine-tune any tempo in 0.1 BPM steps ■ SEE IT, HEAR IT, FEEL IT - A light that moves like your swing, with a trail that shows the rhythm - Twelve count sounds: click, soft, bell, wood, dog, engine, cha-shu-men, piano, retro, clap, taiko, water - Haptics on every count, so it works with the sound off (iPhone) - Keeps counting while the screen is locked or another app is in front - Start and stop with Siri, Shortcuts or the Action button; Control Center and Lock Screen on iOS 18 or later - Dark or light theme. The light theme stays readable in bright sunlight ■ YOUR OWN IMPACT POINT The address marker starts where the ball usually sits for each club, from the driver off your lead heel to a chip played back in your stance. Drag the meter to move it to where your impact really is, club by club. ■ PRACTICE STAND MODE A full-screen meter with a large tempo readout, maximum brightness and auto-lock off. Put the device down and read it from your address position. ■ FREE Every club, every sound, the light meter, haptics and background playback.
