Has anyone else tried the Shot Vision App? A friend recommended it to me over the weekend and I gave it a bit of a test this morning when at the range and it seems to be a nice little app. The basic app is free and then if you want the more in depth set of data it’s £6 per month or £40 per year.
The app is easy to setup (although I’d advise a mini-tripod to make it easier), you select your club, position the phones camera so it can see the ball using the alignment tool and that’s it, once setup the app will confirm that it is ready and away you go. After each shot the app makes an audible beep to confirm the shot has registered and then you get a readout of the data which is also displayed on screen (you can wear headphones if your stats are as bad as mine and dont want everyone on the range to know you just carried your 5 iron only 136 yards....).
Once you are done you just confirm that the session / club are complete and then you can either pick another club or sit and analyse your data, this includes everything from club head and ball speed, spin, launch angle, height, AOA, Carry and total distance. I did a trial over 15 shots (1 bucket of range balls) using my 5 iron and it was interesting to see my actual data and it should give me some insight into areas for improvement and up-to-date distances for my clubs.
I guess the only bit left to cover are the downsides, and there aren’t many, the first and most obvious is that you need to set it up and go through the process each time you pick up your phone and change clubs (hopefully they make a watch app so I can change without touching the phone), beyond this my first attempt at using the app it seemed intermittent and wasn’t capturing my shots, although when I did the full bucket after warming up everything registered fine so it might have just been my poor setting up that caused it. The final thing would be accuracy, I don’t have the resource to see how accurate this is and it would need testing by someone that knows their stats or could run it in parallel with a more sophisticated launch monitor.
Sure it’s not a full Trackman but it a free app or £6/£40 for all the additional data, imo that’s nothing considering and it’s a decent little purchase. Strangely I had multiple people come and ask what I was using to track my stats and everyone who saw it thought it was a great a little app.
