Shot Cloud
Your real pattern, drawn on the real hole, around the target you are considering.
What is Shot Cloud in PinFlag?
Your launch monitor shots and your past on-course shots, drawn on the hole you are playing around the target you are considering. Instead of a dispersion number, you see the actual pattern you hit with that club laid over the fairway, the rough and the water in front of you, so the decision is made against your real spread on the real ground. Shot Cloud is priced live: the strokes gained for the target already reflects the pattern you are looking at.
How does Shot Cloud get my shots?
From two sources it keeps separate: launch monitor sessions you import (Trackman, Garmin, Rapsodo, or any monitor’s CSV) and shots you have logged on the course. You can switch between launch monitor, past rounds or all sessions, trim the longest and shortest outliers, and each dot carries its source, so the cloud around a target reflects exactly the data you chose.
What does Shot Cloud show for a target over water?
How much of your pattern lands in the water. The dots that fall inside the hazard are the part of your spread that would cost a penalty, and the strokes gained number for that target already includes it. It makes "can I carry it" a picture of your own shots rather than a feeling.
What does the confidence grade in Shot Cloud mean?
How much of your own data stands behind the pattern. A club with many recorded shots shows high confidence; a club with a handful shows low, so you always know whether you are looking at a well-measured pattern or an early one. Import another session or log more rounds and the grade rises on its own.
Can I set my own dispersion in PinFlag?
Yes. The Set Dispersion editor lets you state a pattern for any club, and PinFlag labels every number built on it so you always know which source is behind the figure. Imported launch monitor carries take precedence the moment they exist.
