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.

Know your green before you putt. Putt Break uses the LiDAR sensor on iPhone Pro to measure the slope of the putting green directly under your feet — in real time, with no setup required. What it does Stand over your ball. The app reads the slope percentage, which way it breaks, and whether you're putting uphill or downhill. Switch to Distance mode to measure the exact length of your putt from where you stand to the hole. Built for learning Putt Break is a measurement tool, not an aiming system. It tells you what the green is doing. You decide how to play it. That honesty is the point. Features Real-time slope reading with side break and uphill/downhill Distance mode: measure putt length from stance to hole Confidence indicator so you know when the reading is trustworthy Save readings as photos with a branded overlay Works in shade, overcast, and most outdoor conditions Requirements iPhone 12 Pro or newer (LiDAR required). iPhone 15 Pro / Pro Max recommended for best accuracy. For practice only Electronic slope measurement is prohibited during tournament play under Rule 4.3a. Putt Break is designed for practice rounds, learning sessions, and casual play.
