Shot Tracer App

[ChillyDipper]

Just wondering if anyone has tried this app. It's basically Pro Tracer for you iPhone. Thinking about purchasing it on iTunes but not sure if it works well or not.

Thoughts?

Got it two weeks ago. Only used it on the range. But it's pretty fun / cool. Planning to use it on the course tomorrow. Well worth $5.

[MaitriMike]

Oh they plan to add more features to it. They just updated for multiple balls / hits in one clip. Also supported more video formats.

[IcemanYVR]

That looks promising. If it actually works properly it would be very helpful when playing by myself as I have very low contrast in my vision and have trouble tracking balls. I already have a mount for my camera bag, just put it behind me before I play a shot.

 

I know this isn't what the app was designed for, but this was my first thought.

[RealBoogKnight]

Def worth the 5 bucks!

Saw this on Instagram. Looks like it works and is cheap. Definitely will buy this when I get back on the course. Hopefully a Trackman app is on the way! ;)

[MaitriMike]

You still need a clear video as it sometimes doesn't get the right peak of the ball. Cloudy days are no fun. You also have to remember where the ball lands to indicate in the end of the video. That is how it knows / derives it from there.

Yeah I saw it on instagram. I put a 4 swing video video up on my feed the other day. Instragram.com/marcjames

 

It works just fine. Pretty interesting. Nothing much else to say really. The steadier you have the camera, the better it tracks. But you knew that.

I saw gottagolf has a free one. How is that?

[lopey986]

Any for Android yet?

[ocburg17]

I couldn't find any reference or plans for this app being supported on Android which is discouraging. Hopefully by next spring it will be available.

The reviews on the app store are fairly mixed. For a lot of people it doesn't seem to work. I guess it all depends on the conditions. As someone said before, with clouds it probably won't work.

 

Shame that you have to tell it where it landed. Otherwise it would be useful to record the shots of the tee in case one shot goes into the trees.

Review:

[The Beav]

I've had mixed results with it. Some shots just don't get picked up properly and when I try to manually fix them the timing gets off.

Some shots worked flawlessly.

 

All in all its pretty darn cool IMO and I had fun messing around with it.

[ray9898]

I would love to see an Android version of that.

Review:

 

Based on watching that review, this app is total crap. It really doesn't "trace" your actual ball flight. I don't want something to just draw a fake pretty picture of ball flight.

[Chilidog]

I have the gottaGolf one and it works great. Plus it's free.

[jacobEDGE]

 

It's not the best, and I honestly haven't used it after the day I purchased it.

[Geaux Gators]

it basically looks like something to have some fun with. nothing more. Its not like they can make a phone do what a real pro tracer would do. I mean the camera for an iPhone is, shoddy at best.

Review:

 

Ha. That's total s***. I guess you can't expect much for a $5 app. So when you see those homemade shottracer rounds it can be all bs.

[jacobEDGE]

The Swing Tracer feature they came out with is pretty cool. Allows me to see how messed up my swing plane is, and the likely cause of my major fade/slice.

Looks like the Android release is coming soon. There is an app on the Play Store right now Shot Tracer (Unreleased) for $3.99.

If I am not mistaken I believe its the same app posted in the subject 'shot tracer app for android' some 15 below.

It never got great feedback

[ocburg17]

Thanks, missed that. I was following this thread. I downloaded it now with the price being so cheap. Won't be able to use it for awhile being in Wisconsin.

 

Looks like they came out with a ton of versions and additional features for the apple devices. I have to believe that these features will roll into the android version shortly (once out of beta testing).

Had 4.30 in my Google play account from Google opinion rewards, easy decision to grab this. Looking forward to messing around with it.

The app is still in beta mode. I tried using it and the video color was off.

Changed the color of the video to sepia and added music

Still a work in progress

It also flipped you and made you look like a filthy lefty! :P

As of today the shot tracer beta app for android was working very well.

Hoping to test it on the golf course this weekend.

made a little video with music

[Frankensteins Monster]

Checked out the app. Thought it was automatic. It's basically a drawing tool for videos or am I missing something?
