Today’s a huge day at Shot Pattern:
🎉🎉
Our Shot Entry mode just went live!!
🎉🎉
Shot Pattern is now an incredible tool you can use before, during, and after your round.
Let me walk you through all the ways we’re trying to help golfers play better and score lower.

From 192, anything inside 45’ is excellent for a scratch golfer. Here’s a 50’ circle. Key is to make sure the next shot is on dry land. I don’t want anything in my shot pattern that’s better than average to end up wet.
On this line, it’s about a 166 carry to hit the green.

Building out the Shot Pattern stats portal.
What are the most important stats you want to track?
One stat I haven't seen tracked anywhere that's critically important is "in play drives." Fairways hit + regular rough with a chance to hit the green.
What else?

Cheat codes courtesy of Shot Pattern!
In this range, rough is about a 0.10-0.13 penalty bs fairway. But every 5 yards closer is going to lower the expected score by 0.04.
Rough is better by a little more than a tenth of a shot.

The next era of strokes gained is going to unlock incredible insights.
We have the technology to add more context to the shot.
I.E. Instead of expected strokes to hole out on an 8’ putt, we’ll have expected strokes to hole out on a downhill 8’ putt with 1% of break.
Let’s go!

Once we started overlaying a 30’ dispersion onto greens, the exact location of the pin became FAR less important.

Front pin @ 124. With a 30’ dispersion, a good target is 131.

Warning: this might bend your brain a little…
Your irons don’t go one specific number on a full swing. They cover a range. And we should use a *range* not a singular number, as we select our club.

There are currently 81 players on the PGA Tour averaging better than 20’ from 100-125 in the fairway. Tour Average 20’7”. From 75-100 the Tour Average is 18’. So, for a tour player, the math is darn close to equal outcomes (it’s almost like you looked it up before this post! 🤪).

I created Shot Pattern because I needed to solve two problems:
1) None of the apps let me measure sideways so that I could quickly measure how far to aim away from hazards.
2) I needed to know *MY* dispersion size, not a Tour pros.
The result turned out pretty good... 🤩

It’s so easy to play “Golf Swing” when hitting on the launch monitor, and end up wasting time trying 20 different feels while not getting better.
Try this instead: focus on your side offline number. 👇🏼

GIR Challenge: Under 30’

I love studying tee shots.
You just can’t win at this game if you’re taking penalties off the tee. It’s gotta be in play.
The biggest shock of building this app was finding out just how far *I* had to aim away from trouble to make that happen.
Do you know your answer?

Opening tee shot tomorrow. What would you do?
3-wood on left. Driver on right.
Important thing to consider is that if you drive the ball pin high but don’t hit the green, you’re guaranteed to be short-sided. The green is only 8 paces wide.

Take a look at 16!
A 300 yard drive is going to leave you about ~215 to the hole. From this distance, average proximity on Tour is ~45 feet.

These are the kinds of holes where smart players with knowledge of their shot dispersion pick up a massive advantage.
When there’s a penalty on one side and a bail out area to the other, you can 💣 away with confidence when you know just where to aim to take trouble out of play.
This is an example of a hole where far too many players hit into the water...
...because they pick targets that are too close to the water.
Sometimes your target should be in the rough!
Important note:
Target is where you want the ball to FINISH.

You mean like this? Where we plot *your* dispersion data points (with ability to upload launch monitor data to quickly build out your dispersion) and show you anticipated strokes gained as you move your target?
@ShotPattern
This is a very good visual but as you will know more so than me, shot patterns are not a nice circle like this. Can your shot pattern be more personal and then overlayed onto the greens as you have done here. That then would make the visual that much more personal.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but using a green map to plan your approach shot is a waste of time for just about every amateur.
You don’t need to be on a certain portion of the green based on 2% differences in slope.
You just want to be on the green.
Period.

Was just about to agree! Then decided to look it up.
Given his length, it might be better than it first appears. Here’s a 65-yard wide dispersion @ 310.
Don’t know his actual dispersion or if this matches his intended target, but it’s probably in the ballpark.

Drew a circle around left rough so that any shot finishing pin high left would be assumed to be in the water.
