Carry
Read full descriptionHide full description
Carry is a focused range and simulator companion for golfers who want to know their actual carry distances — and where the gaps are in their bag. WHY CARRY, NOT TOTAL? Carry distance — from impact to where the ball lands — is what decides whether your approach finishes on the green or comes up short. Total distance (carry + roll) shifts with the turf, the slope, and the season. Your carry number doesn't. Build your yardage book on the number that actually holds up under pressure. KNOW YOUR BAG Log a few shots per club and Carry gives you a clean, rolling average for every club — driver through wedge. No clutter, no guesswork. Just the number you trust when you're standing over the shot. DIAL IN YOUR WEDGES The Wedge Carry Matrix maps every partial-swing distance — three wedges across three swing lengths — so you always know what to hit from 40, 60, 80 yards and everywhere between. FIND YOUR GAPS Insights shows your distance ladder and flags the holes and overlaps in your bag — full swing and short game — so you can see exactly where you're covered and where you're not. NEW — DRIVER SPEED TRAINING Train for more distance and track it. Log a quick 5-swing speed test and watch your club speed, ball speed, and carry climb over time. See where you stack up against PGA Tour, scratch, and amateur benchmarks — and chase a new personal best every session. BUILT FOR THE SIM AND THE RANGE Giant tap targets, a number pad built for fast entry, and haptic feedback — designed to keep up while you hit, not slow you down. Dark mode, tour-caliber, no fluff. FREE TO START Build your full-bag yardage book for free. Carry Pro — a one-time unlock, no subscription — adds the Wedge Carry Matrix, Insights, and Driver Speed Training. Carry is for the golfer who takes their numbers seriously. Know your distances. Find your gaps. Hit it farther.
Dialed

Dialed is your complete distance book for the whole bag — driver to lob wedge — answering the one question that matters over every shot: how far does each club actually carry, right here, right now? Enter your stock carries once. Dialed recomputes your entire bag for wherever you are. Altitude, temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, and uphill or downhill all change your real number, and Dialed folds them in automatically with GPS and Apple Weather, or by hand. THE LIVE BAG MATRIX See every club's plays-like carry for your current conditions, updated as the weather and altitude change. GOT A NUMBER? "I've got 172 to the pin, into the wind, 15 feet uphill." Type the number and Dialed gives you the club and swing that covers it, best option first. THE WEDGE MATRIX Build repeatable partial-swing distances using clock language (7:30, 9:00, 10:30, Full) or percentages. Turn wedge guesswork into real, dialed-in numbers. GAP & OVERLAP ANALYSIS Find the yardages you can't cover cleanly and the redundant overlaps across your whole bag, with plain-language suggestions to fix them. SAVED LOCATIONS Keep a baseline for your home course and another for a sea-level trip. Dialed knows the difference. Built for the course: high-contrast, large numbers, readable in bright sun. iPhone-native, works offline for your core numbers. No accounts. No ads. Dialed is free. Weather data provided by Weather.

Verdict
Carry and Dialed are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
