Place your iPhone, swing — and every shot is saved, with data. SmartTrack Golf turns your iPhone into a phone-only launch monitor. No sensors, no extra hardware. Set your phone down at the driving range and swing: AI detects your shots and records them automatically, logging carry distance, ball speed, and launch angle for every ball — together with a swing video and a trajectory overlay. KEY FEATURES • Automatic recording — AI detects your swing and starts/stops recording by itself. Just focus on hitting. Manual recording is also available. • Per-shot ball flight data — Carry (estimated), ball speed, and launch angle for every shot, with the ball's trajectory drawn right on your video. • Session history — Practice sessions and rounds are organized automatically. Review monthly history, averages and personal bests, and a ball speed × launch angle scatter chart. • Club-by-club logging — Tag each shot with a club to build your own carry references. • Stay motivated — Weekly streaks and an activity heatmap make your practice visible. • Share your best shots — Export videos with the trajectory and shot data included, or combine multiple shots into one clip. WHO IT'S FOR • Golfers who want to know their carry numbers, club by club • Range practicers who want every session logged automatically • Anyone who wants launch-monitor-style feedback without buying hardware GOOD TO KNOW • Metrics are estimates based on camera-vision analysis. Some shooting conditions may prevent analysis. In-app guides help you find the right camera position. Automatic shot recording and measurement, and sharing videos with the ball's trajectory, require a paid subscription. Viewing your recorded results is free. A 7-day free trial is available on the annual plan for eligible users. Prices and renewal terms are shown on the purchase screen in the app.
