Putt Break

Read full description

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.

Turn an iPhone video into a clear, focused golf-practice plan. Swing Coach records or imports your swing, detects your body position on device, and lets you study the motion with a synchronized pose overlay. It identifies key swing moments, measures a small set of repeatable movements, and ranks the next adjustment to focus on. CAPTURE YOUR SWING • Record with the rear or front camera • Request high-frame-rate capture when your iPhone supports it • Import standard or Slo-mo videos with the system Photos picker • Use live framing guidance to keep your body visible REVIEW THE MOTION • Scrub playback at ¼×, ½×, or full speed • Jump to address, top, impact zone, and finish • View a synchronized body-pose overlay • Compare a swing with a personal baseline PRACTICE WITH ONE CLEAR FOCUS • See shoulder tilt, hip movement, trail-elbow bend, tempo, and tracking quality • Get one ranked next-swing focus instead of a wall of numbers • Preview a constrained pose adjustment before practicing it • Export a coaching visualization to share LEARN FROM YOUR OWN SWINGS • Save swing history and tag contact and direction • Build club- and camera-specific personal baselines • Unlock conservative personal target ranges after enough matching successful swings • View a local shot-direction tendency after enough comparable labeled swings PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your videos, pose results, tags, and personal models stay on your iPhone. Swing Coach has no account, advertising, analytics, or developer-operated server. Nothing is shared unless you choose the system Share button. Swing Coach uses two-dimensional camera estimates. Results depend on framing, lighting, clothing, camera angle, and device capability. Coaching suggestions are informational practice aids, not medical advice or a substitute for a qualified golf professional. The ball-path view is a personal pattern estimate, not a launch monitor and not a prediction of carry, curve, or landing position.
