iPhone golf practice · iOS 18+

The range
remembers.

Every swing tagged, every pattern named, every aim drift caught. ARC turns range time into deliberate practice — from the iPhone in your pocket.

What it does

Three things radar can't do from your phone.

A launch monitor sees the ball. ARC sees the golfer too — the body that produced the swing, the line you actually aimed at, and the patterns that build up over a session.

01   Body geometry

It watches you, not just the ball.

ARKit and on-device pose estimation track your stance, ball position, shoulder line, spine tilt, and shaft lean — the setup details that decide where the ball goes before you ever swing.

  • StanceWidth, ball position, alignment vs target line
  • PostureSpine tilt, shaft lean, hand position at address
  • DeliveryPlane, tempo, release timing, early extension
  • StrikeHeel/toe tendency from body + start-line correlation
ARC delivery coaching
02   Aim & dispersion

Tap the flag. Every shot is now relative to your target.

ARC anchors a 3D target line in the world. Now it can measure what you actually meant to do — not just where the ball went, but how far off your intent it landed, and whether your aim is drifting over the session.

  • Start lineDegrees right or left of where you aimed
  • DispersionLateral spread in yards, by club
  • DriftAim creep across the session, in degrees
  • ShapeModeled fade / draw / pull tendency

03   Session memory

It remembers what this session was about.

ARC clusters your swings into patterns — the push-fade, the pull-hook, the early-extension miss — and tells you which one is dominant today. Tomorrow you pick up where you left off.

ARC session summary
How it works

Four steps. One bucket.

No remote. No countdowns. ARC runs the loop quietly while you hit balls.

01

Frame the swing.

Lean your iPhone on your bag or use a $20 tripod. Down-the-line or face-on. Tap the flag for target lock.

~30 sec
02

Hit normally.

ARC auto-detects every swing. Practice swings get filtered out. No "ready?" tap, no remote in your pocket.

Auto-detect
03

Glance between balls.

Replay's already cued. ARC names the one number that moved this swing — in plain English, not coach-speak.

~5 sec read
04

Hit again.

One thing to try, eight words or less. ARC will tell you if it actually changed on the next ball.

Loop continues
05

Range, chip, putt.

Same loop for short game and putting. ARC drops landing-spot dots in world space and measures the dispersion ellipse.

All formats
06

Leave with a session.

Tagged swings, the pattern that dominated, and a one-paragraph narrative of what changed. Yours to keep.

Setup

An iPhone is enough. Two iPhones is better.

Use the phone in your pocket for capture. Prop the old one you almost traded in for $40 behind you as a viewer. ARC pairs them over Wi-Fi — no second subscription, no second device to buy.

The spare phone finally has a job.

ARC is one binary that adapts. The capture phone frames the swing. The viewer phone shows live replay at eye level — useful in indoor bays, shared sessions, or when the sun makes your main screen unreadable.

Required

iPhone XS or newer

iOS 18+. Anything from 2018 on. Lean it on your bag and you're set.

Optional · Display

Second iPhone or iPad

Eye-level mirror of the replay and live metrics.

Optional · Audio

AirPods

Hear cues spoken instead of looking down. Voice commands for hands-free control.

Optional · Control

Apple Watch

Tag a swing, scrap a rep, change clubs from your wrist.

Optional · Ball data

Launch monitor

Pair a Garmin R10, FlightScope Mevo, or Bushnell. ARC fuses ball numbers with body metrics for the full picture.

Privacy & AI

The model runs on your phone. The video stays there.

ARC uses Apple's Foundation Models on-device by default. Capture, pose, replay, metrics and coaching all work without a network. Connecting an external AI provider is opt-in, and yours.

// Default

On-device for everything that matters.

Swing detection, body geometry, replay, metrics, drills, and session narrative all run locally. The range has bad signal anyway.

// Stays with you

Your video is not uploaded.

Camera frames, audio, and depth data don't leave the device. Not to ARC, not to a third-party model. Cloud sync is opt-in.

// On purpose

Sharing is a deliberate act.

You can send a clip or a tagged session to your coach. Nothing is shared by default; nothing is sold, ever.

// Honest

Low confidence gets flagged.

Bad lighting, half-frame, ball off-screen — ARC says "data was limited this session" rather than fake a number.

For coaches

Your players show up with the session, not the story.

Instead of "I felt blocky on Saturday," they hand you a tagged session: 23 swings, the pattern that dominated, the metrics that flagged. You spend the lesson coaching, not interviewing.
