Shot Pattern

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.

@jertybird @ChrisBroadie @BallFitting Love this! Been really curious what the numbers would say about the new Bridgestone ball!

Huge database update to @BallFitting today (list of new balls below). As usual, some very interesting performance insights in our testing. It’s a good time to get your ball recs for Spring ‘26 season. •Bridgestone Tour B X •Bridgestone Tour B XS •Bridgestone Tour B RX •Bridgestone Tour B RXS •Callaway Chrome Tour •Callaway Chrome Tour X •Callaway Chrome Soft •TaylorMade TP5 •TaylorMade TP5x •Titleist AVX •Titleist ProV1x Left Dash •Wilson Staff Model •Wilson Staff Model X •Kirkland Performance+ (2025)

@peachgobbler @LukeKerrDineen Tour Wind makes “wind books”which they’ve had reviewed by the R&A and approved for tournament play

@LukeKerrDineen Assume you’d have to memorize this. You wouldn’t be able to reference it during round would you?

I love that Edoardo Molinari is casually living in the year 2036 Calculates exact hurt/help yardage impacts from various distances at different wind speeds 24 yards of hurt in this 170 yard/14 mph example. (Rest is X'd out because don't want to give away too many secrets)

@incolnlay @GolfTourChicago Beautiful looking hole!

@ShotPattern @GolfTourChicago I reached it here from the tips last July, but only barely. I am pretty long off the tee, but not any longer than an average good college player or top am. It’s going to be perfect for the pros in the presidents cup.

What is the best drivable risk/reward Par 4 in all of Chicagoland?

@incolnlay @GolfTourChicago I’ve got it as not exactly reachable unless you push the tees forward beyond their standard set up. This is for the 6500 yard set of tees. Is that right?

@GolfTourChicago The new 16th at Medinah #3 is so good, and will be amazing at the President’s Cup.

@GolfTourChicago Private: #1 Conway Farms H15 HM: Medinah H16, Black Sheep H5

@GolfTourChicago Public: #1 - Preserve H4. Love that the bail out off the tee leaves you an intimidating half wedge. HM: Highlands of Elgin H13, Bowes Creek H12

@MMGOLFSTUDIOS Will check! Have found that LLMs lack all the context necessary to do this well.

I would imagine you could give grok all of your shot data forever and ask how you should play every course and you’d get pretty good info.

New Heat Map feature allows you to deep dive into your performance from difference approach shot buckets! - What’s my dispersion? - Do I have a target selection problem (look for shots that finish close to your target, but lose strokes) - What are my “big misses” to eliminate?

@hutch_golf @CoopNFT Honestly great job, Hutch! You and your team are doing awesome work.

In my time at Arccos, this is the thing I’m most proud of having contributed to. Tracking your shots without needing sensors on your clubs is a wild technical challenge. I can’t tell you how many versions of this we built over the last several years before we felt we had it right. A couple clarifications… - iOS only (for now) - New members can use the link I shared below - Existing users with a Link Pro / Air device can just take the sensors off your clubs and you’ll be good to go - In your settings, you can ask AI to auto tag your clubs or you can manually do it if it’s important to you. Strokes gained doesn’t care what club you hit. Lmk any questions!

@Golfingbrock Just chiming in here to make sure you get credit for the numbers you chose to display on the calculator.

Blade users trust feel. Mallet users crunch numbers.

@hutch_golf @richriker 😍 that’s a thing of beauty, Hutch!

I've been playing with the driving range data from this week at THE PLAYERS. Here's some fun stuff I've found... First, because I think they're pretty, some overhead and side views of the range sessions of the Top 20.

@DavisBelford Awesome work, Davis! Your points are on the money -- and your players are going to be better in the long run because they have you as their coach!

@LukeKerrDineen This video highlights why the obvious next step for Shot Pattern was to implement Tour quality @Strackaline green books. They just went live this week and our users are loving them. Watch the video, download a green book, and find a "fake penalty" in your next round.

@LukeKerrDineen If you miss short-sided on the right, you miss in a spot where your chip leaves you a backstop all around the hole. At Tour level green speeds, pins are typically placed on green or blue spaces. The red, orange, and pink spots are so slippery that balls may not stop.

Oh my!! @LukeKerrDineen did it again! His latest video on Shot Patterns and using data to customize your strategy based on the difficulty of the short-side up & down is SO GOOD. Stop what you're doing and watch it now. Your golf game will thank you. youtu.be/-h8FFmMgQK4?si…

@GolfTourChicago I imagine it'll be ready around the same time the Chicago Spire is finished being built and WeWork goes public.

@ShotPattern When and if it gets built I’m sure I’d go 1 time. Need something within 10-20 mins.

We need a golf dome on the South Side ASAP. Who’s got a plot of land?

@_consistentgolf Are you using RCT balls?

It’s time for a new wedge. Launch angle is too high and spin too low. I started messing around with a wide open club face, ball in back of stance, and a long slow swing swing with a flick of the wrist It was the only way I could get spin rate to jump over 8000.
