Speed and forces vs. time of flight

Where the feet go distance budget, one effect at a time

Ball spin live orientation

Run many swings at once each ball gets its own random draw

Hit finder which swings land on a chosen spot

While this tab is open, click anywhere on the field (Overhead or 3-D view). The spot marker disappears when you leave the tab. The solver searches exit velocity and launch angle, re-aiming the spray angle so wind and sidespin still bring the ball down on the spot.

No spot chosen yet. Switch to the overhead view and click the field.

Distance map landing distance for every exit velocity and launch angle

Uses the current weather, wind, spray angle and spin model. Click a cell to load that hit.
