Using live aim points

PinFlag's aim reticle is fixed at the center of the screen — you pan the course under it, not the other way round. Every position under the reticle updates carry, what it leaves to the pin, and a live strokes-gained number for landing exactly there, priced by the same engine that grades your real shots.

The PinFlag iOS app is in pre-release. Leave your email and we’ll tell you the moment it’s available.

1
Pan to aim, don't drag a marker
The crosshair stays fixed in the middle of the screen; slide the course underneath it with one thumb to move your aim. This is deliberately one-thumb — taps elsewhere never hijack the camera.
2
Read carry and what it leaves
Two live numbers track your aim point: the carry distance to it, and what it leaves to the pin. Both update continuously as you pan, not only once you stop moving.
3
Understand the strokes-gained number
The number by your aim is the strokes gained a shot landing exactly there would earn, computed live by the same engine that scores your logged shots — not a recommendation. Green means a gain, red a loss, and a small dot marks when the number is an estimate rather than fully measured.
4
Know when PinFlag won't show a number
If the ground under your aim or your ball has no geometric basis to price — off the mapped course, for instance — the readout is a dash, never a guessed value. PinFlag would rather show nothing than show something wrong.
5
It's descriptive, not advice
PinFlag prices the option you're already considering. It doesn't suggest a target, recommend a club, or tell you where to aim — that decision stays yours.
