Golf FAQ: range data, swing analysis & practice

Range data supports Trackman, Toptracer, FlightScope and Garmin. You can upload either a CSV export or a plain screenshot from the bay screen — RangeBuddy reads the shot table out of the image, so you never have to type numbers in by hand.

Yes. On the Stats page you can upload a screenshot from GameBook, and RangeBuddy pulls out the round statistics — fairways, greens in regulation, putts and short game — and stores them with the round.

Each shot is saved to your range session with club, carry and dispersion, and is sorted into a category: putt, chip, pitch, approach or full swing. If the shot table has no category, RangeBuddy infers it from the club and the distance. Short game shots are written into your putting and chipping profiles, so adaptive sessions use your real numbers.

Yes. Once shots are imported, the range session view groups them by club so you can see your average carry per club and how wide the dispersion is, rather than remembering your single best strike.

Every parsed shot is shown before you save, so you can correct or remove rows first. Crop the image so the shot table fills the frame if the reader struggled, and mail us the screenshot at pelle@asplundstory.se if a specific bay layout keeps failing.

The analysis runs in four steps: it describes each swing phase (setup, backswing, transition, downswing/impact, finish), works through a checklist of 12 common faults, judges tempo, and then summarises. The 12 faults are hip sway, upper-body slide, overswing, chicken wing, early extension, reverse pivot, swing plane mismatch, casting/early release, excess head movement, loss of spine angle, loss of knee flex and an incomplete finish.

Pose tracking runs on your own device while you film, so tempo ratio and angles are measured locally rather than guessed. Those measurements are handed to the AI as facts, which is why you get an exact backswing-to-downswing ratio (around 3:1 is the reference) instead of a vague comment.

A written coaching text, a list of detected faults, the measured metrics, your top three priorities with drills, and the things worth keeping. It is all saved to the session so you can compare it against later swings.

The coaching text is turned into speech with ElevenLabs and played straight into your headphones, so you hear the one thing to change before the next ball instead of reading a report at home.

A phone leaning against your bag, your whole body and the ball in frame, and reasonable daylight. Down the line is the most useful single angle; face on adds detail on weight shift and low point.

No. It fills the time between lessons — it repeats the same checkpoints ball after ball, keeps a record of what changed, and gives your coach a much better starting point at your next lesson.

Guided range sessions built from steps: a drill, a club, a target and a way to log the result. RangeBuddy ships with ready-made programs, and you can build and edit your own. Each step you log feeds the trend charts, so you can see whether the drill is moving the number.

You name the course you are playing next, and RangeBuddy generates a range session that walks hole by hole — the tee shot, the approach club and the shot shape each hole asks for — so your practice matches the round instead of hitting drivers for an hour.

Yes. The putting section scores your skill areas from your logged results and round stats, then builds an adaptive session from your weakest area and your miss pattern — short or long, left or right. There is also a round-prep session where you set green speed and slope.

Chipping has its own profile and drills, fed by the short game shots from your imported range data as well as what you log in the app, so the sessions adapt to the shots you actually miss.

Take a photo from behind the ball towards the hole and add the putt length, and the green reading tool returns a suggested start line and break based on what it can see in the picture. Treat it as a second opinion, not a laser measurement.

That depends on how often you practise and what you are changing. Grip and setup changes can show up in a session or two; a new sequencing pattern usually takes several weeks. The trend charts are there so you judge it on data rather than on the last shot you hit.

There is a 7-day free trial on the subscription, 100 kr per month, or 500 kr per year. If you just want a single week — a golf trip, say — there is a 7-day pass for 10 kr with no commitment. Every plan includes the same features.

Yes. You can switch between monthly and yearly from the pricing page and the change takes effect at the end of your current period, so you never pay twice. Cancelling is done in the billing portal and you keep access until the period ends.

Your videos, sessions and profiles are private to your account and stored in private buckets that are only opened through short-lived signed links when the app needs them. The only public part of RangeBuddy is the Tips feed, where a post appears only if you write it yourself.

A public feed where golfers share their own range advice and screenshots. Anyone can read it, signed-in golfers can post — with an optional image — and you can delete your own posts at any time. The latest tips also show up on the front page.
