# Does PinFlag import carry or total distance? > Canonical: https://pinflag.io/answers/range-and-simulator/does-pinflag-import-carry-or-total-distance Carry, because it is the number that transfers to the course: the ball has to land where you want it. The roll a monitor reports is modeled from launch conditions, while the carry is measured from the flight, and every target on the course is priced from the carry pattern. Topic: Range, simulator and launch monitor sessions, https://pinflag.io/answers/range-and-simulator ## 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.
