# How does PinFlag price a chip or pitch?

> Canonical: https://pinflag.io/answers/around-the-green/how-does-pinflag-price-a-chip-or-pitch


From the lie it starts in and the leave it finishes at. PinFlag reads the lie from the course map, prices the shot from the published table for that lie and distance, and you place the leave in feet; the expected putts from there close the arithmetic. From 25 yards in the rough a chip to 6 feet is worth 0.28 against the tour average before the putt is struck.

## 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.
