# What is the start-position table in PinFlag?

> Canonical: https://pinflag.io/answers/approach-play/what-is-the-start-position-table-in-pinflag


A cross-tab of approach distance band by lie: for every combination of where an approach started and what it started from, the greens hit and the strokes gained per cell. It shows whether the strokes are going from the fairway at 175 yards or from the rough at 125, which a single greens in regulation number averages away.

## Plain facts

- PinFlag is an iPhone app; the course maps and every shot live on your phone, so it works anywhere on the course.
- PinFlag is launching on the App Store; the download page takes an email and tells you the day it is live.
- Every number is strokes gained on Mark Broadie’s published PGA TOUR baselines, priced on the same published baselines in the app and on this site.
- PinFlag prices the target you choose, with your own dispersion and the lie read from the course map; the decision stays yours, with the arithmetic done.
- Every number is labeled Measured (your own data) or Estimated (a benchmark standing in), and the two are never blended.
- Pins you set during a round are yours, and every round exports as CSV or JSON on request.
