The Bag Map sums up, from your records, how far each club is going right now. It is not the “correct” distance, but a tool for comparing with before and choosing your club.
Reading a card
Cards are listed in your Club Management order, one per club.
- Carry and Total: the median of your records in the window (shown as “Median”). If a club has no measured values and only estimates from Record vs. target, it appears as an “Estimated range”.
- Fresh and Stale: “Fresh” means there are records in the window. If there are none in the window but some within a year, the card shows the last session’s value and marks it “Stale”.
- Change: the difference from the comparison point. A number appears only when both are fresh. “≈” is added when estimates are involved.
- Summary rows
- Quality: measured or estimated
- Last: the day of your last record
- Samples: the number of shots used (n)
- Reliability: high, medium or low (see “How the numbers work”)
- Stability: stable, varies, unstable or unknown (also below)
Changing the conditions
Use the “Window” and “Range” buttons at the top, and “Bag Map Filters” under “Details”. Your choices are saved on the device.
| Setting | Options | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Window | 7, 30, 90 or 365 days (365 is Pro) | 30 days |
| Range | All, or one of your ranges | All |
| Metric | Carry or Total | Carry |
| Source | Auto, Prefer measured, Prefer target estimate | Auto |
| Swing | Full only or All swings | Full only |
| Miss | All shots or Exclude misses | All shots |
| Compare | Free: the same number of days before. Pro: last record, 7, 30, 90 or 365 days ago | 30 days ago |
- With Range set to “All”, differences between launch monitors are mixed in. To compare indoor and outdoor, filter by range.
- Comparing with “Last record” uses a window of the same length, ending at your most recent record before the current window.
How the numbers work
- Typical value: the median of the measured values in the window (one value per photo or manual record, one per shot in a drill). In “Auto”, target estimates from Record vs. target and drills are used only for clubs with no measured values.
- Stability: “Unknown” below 5 shots. If the middle 50% (IQR) spans 5 yd or less it is “Stable”, 10 yd or less “Varies”, and more than that “Unstable”. When there are enough left/right values, left/right is judged the same way and the worse result is shown. For estimated ranges, a range of 10 yd or less is “Stable” and 20 yd or less “Varies”.
- Reliability: measured values are “High” with 10 or more shots, “Medium” with 5–9 and “Low” below 5. Estimates are “High” with 20 or more taps, “Medium” with 10–19 and “Low” below 10. It drops one level when records needing review are involved, or when the card is stale.
- Switching between yd and m does not change the stability result.
What goes into the Bag Map
| Included | Not included |
|---|---|
| Entered numbers (with carry or total) | Records needing review (no club, target records with fewer than 5 shots, and so on) |
| Analyzed photos, or photos with distances typed in | Photos waiting for analysis or pending |
| Target records with 5 or more shots (as estimated ranges) | Records with “Use in Bag Map” turned off |
| Shots from unified drills | Wedge drills and drill drafts |
| Unusual distances (an iron outside 15–250 yd, for example) |
Gap
“Gap” at the top right lists the difference between neighbouring clubs. A difference of 20 yd (18 m) or more shows “Large gap detected”. Clubs with no records in between are skipped. It needs distances for at least two clubs.
Summary
“Summary” at the top right shows a chart of each club’s typical distance and how many clubs are fresh, stale or have no data.
Club detail
Tap a card to open that club’s detail. It uses the same conditions as the Bag Map.
- Distance Distribution (carry): median, IQR and consistency. The distribution appears from 5 shots.
- Recent Trend: the median for each practice day. Free shows 30 days; Pro adds 90 and 365 days and trends of simulator values.
- AI insight: see AI insight and terms.
- Detailed analysis (Pro)
- Dispersion: distance and left/right spread of the last 50 shots
- Shot Paths: the last 10 shots from the top, the side and in 3D
- Shot Shape Mix, Direction Trend, Miss Tendency: the last 50 shots
- Averages: averages and spread (±) of simulator values such as ball speed
- Consistency by session: the last 20 sessions, or all time
Backup reminder
On Pro or Pro+ with cloud backup in use, if records have gone unbacked-up for a week or more, “Time to back up?” appears at the top of the Bag Map. Backups are not made automatically. See Backup and restore.
