GolfDistance Pro is a 3D golf shot simulator built on physics modeled after the latest aerodynamics research — recreating exactly how your ball flies, where it lands, and how far it rolls. ■ Head Speed & Distance Adjust head speed, smash factor, and launch angle to see instantly how far you'll fly. Know exactly how many more m/s you need for extra yards. ■ Spin & Carry vs. Run Change your backspin and watch the difference: a high, soft-landing shot or a low, rolling one. Carry and run are shown separately, so you know if you'll hold the green or roll through the back. ■ Ground Firmness Changes Your Roll Set the fairway's firmness and moisture, and see how the bounce and roll change after landing. Simulate in advance how the carry-to-run breakdown shifts with course conditions. ■ Uphill & Downhill Lies Elevation is modeled as a real slope, not a cliff. Feel exactly how much distance you gain or lose hitting uphill versus downhill. ■ Wind, Temperature & Pressure Headwind, tailwind, and crosswind are all factored in — along with temperature and air pressure. Colder air is denser, creating more drag and shorter shots in winter, while warmer summer air lets the ball fly farther on the same swing. See exactly why golfers club up in winter, backed by real numbers. ■ Great for Visualization Training Preview your shot in 3D before you play it — a simple way to mentally rehearse a club selection or course condition ahead of your round. ■ Compare Shots Side-by-Side Overlay up to 4 color-coded trajectories to compare conditions at a glance — see exactly how much less spin means more roll. ■ Works Anywhere iPhone & iPad supported, switch between Japanese and English, and no internet connection required — perfect for the range or the course. Core shot calculations are free. Environment settings, course/ball selection, spin axis tilt, first-person view, and slow motion replay unlock with a one-time Premium purchase. *Simulation results are estimates based on a physics model. Actual ball flight and distance may vary due to equipment, weather conditions, and player technique.
