Read greens like a tour caddie. ProSide uses your iPhone Pro's LiDAR scanner to map any green, calculate the break, and show you exactly where to aim. Stop guessing. Start making putts. HOW IT WORKS Scan the green. Point your iPhone Pro at the green around your ball and the hole. LiDAR captures slope and elevation in seconds. See the break. ProSide turns the scan into a smooth elevation model and works out how the ball will roll. You get the predicted path, the slope direction, and a clear aim point. Pick your view. Read the green in live AR right where you're standing, or switch to a 2D contour map or a full 3D surface model. Same accurate read, three ways to look at it. Practice and improve. Make your own read first, then compare it to what ProSide calculated. Over time you'll see whether you struggle with downhill putts, sidehill putts, or longer distances — and you can practice exactly where you need to. WHY PROSIDE Built around LiDAR. ProSide was designed from day one for the LiDAR scanner in iPhone Pro and Pro Max. The result is precise, repeatable reads — scan the same putt twice and you get the same answer. No extra hardware. No ball markers, no sensors, nothing to charge or lose. Just your phone. A practice tool, not a tournament aid. ProSide is built for the practice green and training sessions. Always check the rules for your course, league, or tournament before using any electronic aid during a competitive round. REFERRAL PROGRAM Share your unique code from the in-app partner dashboard.

GreenReader allows visually impaired golfers to place their phone on the green, press a button, and get a read of the terrain for their putt. This will inform you if the putt is uphill or downhill as well as if it is breaking left or breaking right. Given the distance of the putt, our app can also provide a predicated aim point left or right of the hole; for example, 2 cups left of the hole.
