Thanks for the video. I downloaded the app and tried it today for the first time. Was really easy and worked right out of the gate. Thanks again!!

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

You're welcome, I think it's a great app, very accurate and easy to use

[@ChiliDippaGolf]

Glad to see that there is another option out there that traces ball flights other then shotracer. Looks like it tracks pretty well. The only downside is having to line up the ball before you hit it. Very cool app thou.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

I will be using this app for my vlogs, it does the tracking live, no need for me to edit my shots later, a great way to save time for me

[@isaacolson3233]

Great content. You used all examples of the shot tracer with your drives, very clever way to explain

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Thanks, I love this app, very reliable

[@meazlesgolf3455]

Thank you for this info. I got the app and it did say that it would not work with a yellow ball. I am going to the driving range today where they have yellow balls and I will test it myself. Also, I noticed that you cannot reverse the side you are viewing/recording from. I had trouble with my phone holder where I needed to hold my phone in such a way that the tripod got in the way, which has since been fixed. After today's results, I might go ahead and purchase it for $10 to see if it truly read the yardage of each club against my range finder. Nonetheless, this is an EXCELLENT FIND! Thanks again.

It’s way better than the shot tracer app, I’m just using the free version and it works just fine. I just have to position my iPhone vertically on my tripod. The only issue I had it’s that when it’s really hot, it gives me an overheating warning and it doesn’t work.

[@meazlesgolf3455]

@@thebackyardgolfer7010 OK, the verdict is in:, I agree HANDS-DOWN this App is the BEST golf tracing App out there. I too am using the free version for now. The yellow range balls "DID NOT" register with the app for me, but that's not a show-stopper. Not being able to record from the front of my phone does present a line-up and button pushing problem as I have to hold my phone by the bottom edge for access to the record button when it's on the tripod. I plan to reach out to SmoothSwing to see if there is a way around this. Shortly after I send this post, I will probably purchase a license and see if the club yardage is accurate. As it stands right now, I use a range finder and hope I can get a reading on something near my ball when I am on the driving range. All-In-All, this is a SUPER SHARE and I really thank you for it. I will wait about half an hour for you to reply with an affiliate link if you have one so that you can get credit for the purchase. Thanks again for the share.!!!!!

Great vid. Thanks for the helpful insight 👍🏼 I’ll be hopefully trying it out on course tomorrow 🏌🏻

it works like a charm, just remember to place it vertically

[@3MPIREOFDEATH]

Probably works well since you have that dark Mountain View in the background for the ball to contrast against.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

I’ve used it in other places and it has always worked very well for me

[@HenryGrilloGolf]

Can you upload a previous swing or do all swings need to be taken in the app?

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

No, you cannot, it only traces live videos, but it’s worth it, very reliable

[@rubberduckrecruiter7510]

Can you do multiple shots or will it trace just one at a time

[@bartholomewa9294]

Thanks for the video

[@tomagnew2084]

is there any way to trace previous golf clips, i keep trying but dont get anywhere, some advice would be great thank you

I don’t think you can, I also tried and I looked at the pro version and there is no such feature unfortunately

[@tomagnew2084]

Great video; do you have any other golf apps to recommend?

I also recommend "Skillest" and"Golf Fix" app, very good and free of charge

[@Fundando]

Awesome. I can't believe you can do this without specialty hardware!

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

I know and if you notice it tracks the ball all the way

[@BlackBirdieGolf]

nice app, i'm looking for something to keep score and distance to the flag. i've seen some good ones that other vloggers use but no idea the name.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

There are many I think, some have free trials, other are for payment, try a Garmin watch 👌

[@metalheads-golf]

Cool to see some competition to ShotTracer. Hopefully it comes to Android or even better to PC as a plugin. I've been in contact with ShotTracer as separate application out of the video editor doesn't work for me. Anyway great app. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Nothing compared to shot tracer, with this app you don't have to worry about any manual tracking or errors, it's very good and you don't have to pay anything, I'm not sure how it's done, but as you see in the video, it's 100% reliable and it reads every single shot, in fact I will be using it in all my upcoming vlogs.

[@Dunwin316]

Shot tracer has been so bad for months. First it was crashing all the time and once that stopped, I have to manually trace all my shots now. Are you experiencing that?

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

@@Dunwin316 I don’t use shot tracer anymore, I got fed up of all the manual tracking, try this one it’s amazing and it’s free!

@thebackyardgolfer7010 I have android but friends are using it and looks like a great app. Shot tracer was great until whatever changed recently

[@Steven-de3bf]

Is their any apps that traces the ball and that shows apex and carry ?

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

@@Steven-de3bf no, you have put that data, unless you’re using a launch monitor like mevo plus, the yes it will display the data and the shot tracer

[@edge21str]

I see the map keeps coming up. Does it actually tell you where your ball has most likely landed? If yes then this is even more amazing than I thought.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

I did see a map, but I never tried it, not sure how that works, but I can tell you that the tracer is very reliable as you can see in this video

[@mylesdejesus]

Can u record videos on landscape mode?

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

No, unfortunately it only does live videos vertically, but it’s super accurate

[@brucecantacessi7592]

How about an updated review for Android phone? Bet you can't find one!

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

Not sure if it works on Android I’ll check it out

[@ziggygolf]

Can you use old videos or do you have to film directly within the app?

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

You can tap on load video, but it will not let you track the shot, it shows a lock. I think you have to get the paid version for that. I was tempted to buy it, it costs 9.99, but I'm not a 100% sure that you can edit old videos. In any case the app it's super accurate

[@ziggygolf]

⁠appreciate the reply! It's tricky because I will 100% buy it if it can do old videos. But I might not if it doesn't. I might buy it and report back.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

same here. I'll let you know if I buy it, I use it all the time anyways because of the accuracy

[@qweeqwee81]

Does this work with yellow range balls?

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

It would be interesting to test range balls, they only have 1 core or 2

[@donnajarockrealtor]

Started using this app, but it has quit tracing the ball and I've contacted the company and no response. I am left with having to purchase a different app now.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

That is a pity, it has always worked for me, what phone are you using? it could be that!

It look super nice but it does not work on certain iPhones like my iPhone 8 😢

Will this work if my phone is sideways, and not up and down? I can’t seem to find a phone mount that mounts a phone onto a tripod up and down

There are a few apps, some require payment, but they are not very reliable and they only give you club speed, no shot shaping or face position, you need a golf radar for that
