Pocket. Swing. Score.
No tripod, no camera, no setup ritual. Your iPhone’s motion sensors are the whole instrument — the phone rides in your front pocket and reads every swing.
Pocket your phone
Tap Start, slide your iPhone into your front pocket, and forget about it. No calibration, no aiming a lens, nothing to balance on a bench.
Swing normally
Hit your bucket like any other range session. The app detects each swing on its own — no taps between shots.
Get scored & coached
End the session and watch your Wrapped recap: Swing Score, tempo grade, power tier, hand speed, and one insight to carry to the next bucket.
Three layers of sensing — use what you have. The iPhone is the engine; Apple Watch and AirPods deepen the picture.
iPhone
Accelerometer + gyroscope detect every swing, grade tempo and rhythm, estimate power, and track session consistency. The core engine — no other device required.
Apple WatchPREMIUM
Wrist-side motion and heart rate: wrist action, kinetic sequencing, and how your body holds up across the session.
AirPodsPREMIUM
Head-stability tracking — the quietest, most-overlooked fundamental in the swing. If your head moves, we’ll see it.
What you get
Real metrics. Plain-English coaching.
Every swing becomes numbers you can act on — and a drill to act on them with.
Swing Score
A composite of tempo, smoothness, power, and consistency. One number that tells you which swings to study.
Tempo grade (A–F)
Your backswing-to-downswing ratio, graded against the Tour-pro 3:1 benchmark — and what to feel to get closer.
Power tier
From Easy through Smooth, Strong, Explosive, and Pro-level. How loaded each swing actually was — not how it felt.
Hand Speed
A real measurement of hand speed through impact. Track it over time and watch speed gains land.
Pattern detection
Reverse pivot, early extension, over-the-top — we call out the flaw when we see it, with a feel-based drill to fix it.
Session Wrapped
A swipe-through recap after every session: your money swing, your trends, and one coaching insight for next time.

FAQ
Quick answers.
Do I need a tripod or camera?
No. That’s the whole point. PocketCaddie uses motion sensors, not video, so there’s nothing to set up. Pocket your phone, swing, done.
Does it work indoors?
Yes. The app works anywhere you can take a swing — at home, at a simulator, in a net, or on the range. No GPS or location signal required.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. The iPhone alone gives you a Swing Score, tempo grade, power tier, and hand speed. An Apple Watch and AirPods add Premium-only depth like wrist action and head stability, but they’re optional.
Where do I put my phone?
Your front pants pocket works best. Keep it snug so the phone doesn’t shift mid-swing — that’s the most reliable position for the motion sensors.
Is my data private?
Yes. Swing sessions are processed on-device first, and we don’t share your data with advertisers. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail.
What iPhone do I need?
Any iPhone running iOS 17 or later. The motion sensors are standard across modern iPhones — no special hardware needed.
