# Is a benchmark lens the same as a handicap? > Canonical: https://pinflag.io/answers/benchmarks-and-lenses/is-a-benchmark-lens-the-same-as-a-handicap A lens is a scoring level to be measured against, labeled Modeled in the app, and it is separate from a handicap: a handicap summarises your scores against course difficulty, while a lens sets the table your shots are priced from. The two are useful together, since the lens shows where a handicap’s strokes go. Topic: Benchmarks and lenses, https://pinflag.io/answers/benchmarks-and-lenses ## 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.
