Radius — Intelligent Disc Golf Play Smarter, Not Harder. Your caddy, coach, and community — in one beautifully simple app. CADDY — KNOW WHAT TO THROW Get a disc recommendation for every shot. Radius weighs distance, wind, elevation, and the discs in your bag, then shows the predicted flight path for the disc it suggests. Score live as you play and measure your throws with GPS. The app informs — you make the call. TRAIN YOUR PUTT Sharpen the part of the game that drops scores fastest. Structured Circle 1 and Circle 2 putting sessions track your makes by distance, so you practice with purpose and watch your green game climb. KNOW YOUR RADIUS RATING — FREE Radius Rating measures every round against the real difficulty of the course you played — its length, elevation, and terrain — and turns your history into one honest number that moves with your game. Watch it climb round by round, compare fairly with anyone, anywhere, and know exactly what kind of player you're becoming. 3D COURSE MAPS View every hole on a live 3D aerial map with real-time wind, weather, and your GPS position. A range cone shows your distance to the basket. Pan, zoom, and rotate to plan your approach from any angle. MASTER YOUR BAG Build your perfect bag and know exactly what’s in it. Add discs by scanning them with your camera, browsing the database, or simply speak your discs into your bag. Create multiple named bags and switch your active setup in a tap — your stats, recommendations, and analysis follow the bag you’re playing. See your coverage, find the gaps, and dial in the perfect setup. Then discover your next disc with access to the Smart Pro Shop, built right into Radius. EVERY ROUND, SAVED — FREE Keep your full scorecard history at no cost. No caps on your own rounds, ever. Review detailed breakdowns after you play, and unlock deep performance analytics with Radius Pro. DISCOVER COURSES Find courses near you, explore layouts, and build your own course maps.

Measure your disc golf throws with your phone. RipReader turns your phone's high-speed camera into a $300 radar gun. Set your phone on the ground, throw your disc, and get instant metrics. No extra hardware required. Tap Start and place your phone on the ground or on a spare disc. Throw your disc and motion detection captures it automatically. Review slow-motion footage with your metrics overlaid. No button timing. No second person needed. Just throw. RipReader measures velocity and spin for every throw, plus GPS distance from your throw to the landing spot. Forehand and backhand are detected automatically. Every throw is saved with slow-motion playback, organized into sessions by date and location. An analytics dashboard tracks your averages, trends, and personal records over time. You can also build your disc bag, and after each session RipReader automatically matches throws to the right disc using on-device visual recognition and compares performance across different discs. Dedicated throw measurement hardware can run $300 to $400. RipReader works with every disc you own, runs on the phone already in your pocket, and costs a fraction of the price. RipReader is designed for players who practice with purpose. Auto-detection means you stay in your rhythm, no fumbling with buttons between throws. Capture an entire field session, then review everything after.
