What are PinFlag’s strengths?
The number arrives before the swing, on any target you pick. Your own dispersion is in it, drawn on the hole with Shot Cloud, measured from launch monitor imports and from every shot you log with its aim and result. The lie is read from the course map, so the same yardage is priced as the different shot it is. Logging is two taps with nothing to buy, and it works with no signal. Insights breaks every round down by category, distance band, lie and club, with Score Killers, proximity, heat maps and lenses. Every figure carries a Measured or Estimated label, and the arithmetic is public, printed on the methodology page.
