Shot Dispersion and Aim Points

Shot Dispersion helps you understand where your shots finish compared with where you intended them to go. Add or review an aim point for a tracked shot, then use your club’s Shot Accuracy view to see patterns in your misses and proximity to the target.

Aim Points, Shot Dispersion stats, and Auto Shot Dispersion are available on iOS and Android. Viewing Shot Dispersion stats requires Premium.

What is an aim point?

An aim point marks your intended target for a shot. The tracked shot records where the ball actually finished. The difference between those locations helps you understand your shot dispersion.

When reviewing a shot, check that the target reflects where you meant to hit the ball. Keep it separate from the ball’s actual finishing location so the comparison reflects the shot you played.


Where can I find Shot Dispersion?

  1. Open the Me tab.
  2. Tap Swing & Club Stats to review your club data across rounds.
  3. Select the club you want to review.
  4. Scroll to Shot Accuracy to view the dispersion chart and statistics for that club.

You can also reach Swing & Club Stats from an individual round: go to Me > Rounds Played, open a round, then scroll down and tap Swing & Club Stats. Both entry points let you choose a club and review its data across rounds.

Open Swing & Club Stats from the round summary.

How do I review the aim point for a tracked shot?

  1. Open a club using the steps above.
  2. Tap Track Shot History.
  3. Find the shot you want to review. Check the date beside each entry; this history can include shots from multiple rounds.
  4. Tap an entry to open its map and shot details.

Use the dropdown at the top of the history to choose Sort By Most Recent or Sort By Distance.

The shot map shows the tracked shot and its aim point when one is saved. You can review where the ball finished in relation to the target.

Check each shot’s date. Club history includes multiple rounds.

How do I edit an aim point?

  1. Open a shot from Track Shot History.
  2. Tap the pencil beneath Aim Point in the shot details at the bottom of the map.
  3. Move the target marker to where you intended the shot to finish.
  4. Tap Save.

Use Cancel if you want to leave the editor without saving your changes.

You can also edit an aim point from a Smart Tracking round’s hole-by-hole GPS view. Tap a shot marker to open its details, scroll down, and tap Shot Proximity to Target to open the aim-point adjuster. Move the target to where you intended the shot to finish, then tap Save. If a shot has no saved aim point, its details may show Add Aim Point with a plus button.

How do I read Shot Accuracy?

The target icon at the center of the chart represents the aim point. Dots show tracked shot results relative to that target. The distance rings help you judge how close the shots finished.

The chart’s legend identifies accurate shots in blue and inaccurate shots in pink. Read the selected distance beside Accurate to see the current accuracy threshold. For example, within 25 Yds.

Metric What it tells you
Accurate The percentage of shots classified as accurate using the selected distance setting.
Miss Left / Miss Right The percentages shown for misses to the left and right of the target.
Miss > 30 Yds The percentage shown for misses more than 30 yards from the target.
Proximity to Target (Average) The average distance between the shot results and their targets.
Proximity to Target (Standard Deviation) How much the proximity distances vary around their average. A smaller value indicates more consistent proximity distances.

Look at average proximity and standard deviation together: shots can finish a consistent distance from the target while still being far from it.

How do I change the accuracy setting?

  1. In the club’s Shot Accuracy card, tap the dropdown beside Accurate — Within ….
  2. Use the Accuracy Setting picker to choose a distance.
  3. Tap Done to apply the setting, or Cancel to close the picker.

The distance setting defines how close a shot needs to finish to its target to be considered accurate. For example, Within 25 Yds uses a 25-yard threshold.

Choose a distance in Accuracy Setting, then tap Done.

How do I turn on Auto Shot Dispersion?

Auto Shot Dispersion works in both Classic and Smart Tracking, and requires the shot to be tracked. In Classic, manually track your shots. In Smart Tracking, use the shot-tracking feature to record them.

  1. During a round, open the GPS screen.
  2. Tap Tools near the bottom right.
  3. Select the Settings tab.
  4. Scroll to Auto Shot Dispersion and turn it on.

Auto Shot Dispersion uses the center of the fairway or green as the aim point. If you drag the target on the GPS map, it uses the last target position you dragged it to instead.

Review the saved aim point in the shot’s history and edit it if it does not reflect where you intended to hit the ball.
