Your launch monitor data, priced on the course where it counts.
PinFlag imports your launch-monitor sessions — Trackman, Garmin, Rapsodo, or any monitor via mapped CSV — and fits them into durable per-club dispersion, stamped Measured, the highest-priority source PinFlag’s strategy engine uses. That dispersion then prices the live strokes-gained cost of any target you’re considering, on the hole you’re actually standing on. Dispersion sources are never blended: a number always comes from exactly one place, and PinFlag says which.
You’ve got real numbers — carry, ball speed, spin, dispersion — sitting in your launch monitor’s app, measured more precisely than any GPS estimate could manage. What’s missing is a bridge from that data to the course: PinFlag takes your actual per-club dispersion and runs it through the same frozen, Broadie-verified engine that grades every shot you hit, live, on the hole you’re playing.
The problem
- Your carry numbers are exact at the range and a guess again the moment you’re standing on a fairway.
- Trackman, Garmin, or Rapsodo sessions live in their own app, disconnected from the course, the pin, and the shot you’re about to hit.
- A generic GPS rangefinder doesn’t know your real dispersion, so its numbers are averaged for nobody in particular, including you.
- You’ve already done the work to measure your own game; almost nothing on the course actually uses that measurement.
What matters for you
- launch monitor import — Import Trackman, Garmin, and Rapsodo files directly, or any other monitor via mapped CSV — each session is fit into durable per-club dispersion and stamped Measured, the top-priority source the strategy engine uses. Sources are never blended.
- live strokes gained — Your launch-monitor dispersion, not a generic model, is what prices the target you’re looking at — live, on the hole you’re standing on.
- shot tracking — Log what actually happens on course next to what your launch monitor says should happen — one gesture per shot, ending in a per-shot strokes-gained scorecard.
Honest limitations
- PinFlag is an iOS app; there’s no Android version.
- The app is in pre-release — it isn’t on the App Store yet.
- PinFlag doesn’t post scores to GHIN or WHS; its index is a clearly-labeled estimate.
- Strokes-gained readouts are descriptive — PinFlag prices the option in front of you, it never recommends the target or the club.
Frequently asked questions
- Does PinFlag support my launch monitor?
- PinFlag imports session files or exports directly from Trackman, Garmin, and Rapsodo, plus any other monitor through a mapped generic CSV. If your monitor can export a session, PinFlag can very likely use it.
- Does PinFlag blend my launch-monitor numbers with my on-course rounds?
- No — PinFlag never blends dispersion sources. Any number comes from exactly one source at a time — your launch monitor, your tracked rounds, or a model — and the app discloses which.
- Will my launch-monitor dispersion actually change what I see on course?
- Yes — once you import a session, your launch-monitor dispersion becomes the top-priority source behind your live strokes-gained numbers on course, ranked above tracked rounds or a model.
- Is the PinFlag app available right now?
- The PinFlag iOS app, including live on-course strokes gained, is in pre-release and isn’t on the App Store yet. Leave your email on the download page and we’ll tell you the moment it’s available.
- What happens to outlier shots in my session, like a mis-hit or a shank?
- PinFlag flags statistical outliers rather than silently deleting them, using a robust per-club dispersion fit. A shanked wedge won’t quietly vanish from your data, and it won’t distort your dispersion either.
