Stop guessing about your game. PinPoint pairs with the PinPoint Duo trackers to measure your shots in real time — and turns your iPhone into a pro-shop measuring tool for your equipment. RUN THE PINPOINT DUO TRACKERS Set the PinPoint Duo sensors down the lane and connect over Bluetooth — up to six devices at once. As you throw, PinPoint reads your ball speed and the exact board your ball is crossing at each point down the lane (7 ft, 15 ft and 40 ft), shot after shot. Track a single lane or run two lanes at once in Duo mode, with a live scoreboard you can flip sideways on a tablet. BUILD CUSTOM PRACTICE SESSIONS Design a shot-by-shot practice routine — set the target board you want at every sensor and how many shots to throw at it — then run it against the trackers and save your results for every device. See exactly how close you're hitting your target and how your speed and line hold up under repetition. Structured training programs help you build a plan and come back to it week after week. FIND YOUR PAP FROM A PHOTO Throw a shot, then take one picture of your ball with the oil ring, pin, CG and mass bias showing. Fit the circle, drop a few markers on your finger holes and the oil ring, and PinPoint calculates your Positive Axis Point — your PAP — automatically. No tape measure, no guesswork, no waiting for the pro shop. GET YOUR FULL LAYOUT Once it has your PAP, PinPoint works out your layout numbers so you can record exactly how every ball in your bag is drilled. Measurements round cleanly to the nearest 1/16" and layout angles to the nearest degree — the way a driller actually writes them down. BUILD YOUR ARSENAL Save every ball you own with its specs, layout and your own notes. Switch between bowlers so the whole family or team can keep their gear straight in one place. Rename, re-scan and organize your bag however you like. SEE YOUR BALL MOTION The built-in 3D lane simulator draws a real lane — every board, arrow and dot — and rolls your ball down it. Pick your laydown and breakpoint, and watch how the shot shapes based on real inputs instead of hitting the pocket every single time. It's a fast way to picture what a change to your line or your equipment really does. BUILT BY BOWLERS, FOR BOWLERS PinPoint comes from TenPin Doctors. It's made for league bowlers, coaches, pro-shop operators and anyone who wants to understand their equipment instead of just throwing it.

LayoutQ
Read full descriptionHide full description
LayoutQ turns your numbers into decisions at the lane. Drilling layouts: Enter your PAP, ball speed, rev rate, and axis tilt and rotation. For any ball in the catalog, the app recommends a Dual Angle Layout, shown as drilling angle, pin-to-PAP, and pin buffer angle (VAL), with the reasoning behind each number. Adjust for an earlier or later break, a smoother or sharper shape, and more or less flare. Take the numbers to your pro shop. Your arsenal: Keep every ball you own with its drilled layout and current surface. See which of the six arsenal slots you cover and which you are missing. Track games since the last cleaning, resurface, and oil extraction, and get told when a pad is due. Set a ball to its factory finish with one tap. Link your pro shop: claim the record your shop made for you with a code, and every ball they drill lands in your arsenal with its layout. Ball catalog and recommendations: Browse more than 1,200 balls released since 2018 with core, coverstock, RG, differential, and factory surface. Get recommendations that fill the gaps in your bag, each with a suggested layout and starting surface. Live sessions: Pick a house shot or a Kegel sport pattern, log shots as you bowl, and get feet-and-target moves, ball-change suggestions, and surface advice as the lane transitions. Score games frame by frame. A fatigue flag watches your ball speed across games. Tracking: Mount your phone on a tripod, calibrate the lane with four taps, and record a shot to see the ball's real path in 3D. Optional knee-angle tracking watches your slide leg during a session. All camera processing happens on your phone; no video is uploaded. Privacy: No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Your data lives in your account, and you can delete it from the app at any time. Storm, VLS, Kegel, and USBC are trademarks of their owners. LayoutQ is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them, or by any ball manufacturer. Recommendations are informational; confirm layouts with a qualified pro shop before drilling.
