Your First Shot

From tripod setup to your first result, in four steps.

What you need

Your phone with Trackeon, a tripod, a tape measure, a golf ball, and a safe space for a full swing.

Step 01

Mount the phone. Measure to the lens.

Secure your phone to a tripod with the rear camera facing down toward the ball. Set the lens 36–54 inches (90–140 cm) above the ground, with the tripod and ball on the same level surface.

Measure straight up from the ground to the center of the camera lens. Use this exact height in Trackeon. Keep the phone steady, the lens clean, and the hitting area evenly lit.

Step 02

Check the setup. Start tracking.

Open Play → Get started and review any setup reminder. Check your handedness, units, camera height, and elevation. Match the height and units to your tape measurement.

Tap Start Tracking. You choose your club next, inside the tracker.

Step 03

Choose your club. Position the ball.

Tap the highlighted club icon and choose the club you are hitting. Change it here whenever you switch clubs.

Place the ball inside the on-screen target circle. Keep the phone steady and make sure the camera can see the ball and clubhead.

Step 04

Wait for the ding. Hit. Review.

Turn up your phone volume and wait for the ready ding before swinging. Hit your shot and let Trackeon finish processing. Your result appears automatically.

Carry is the estimated distance before the ball lands. Total includes rollout. Review these alongside ball speed, launch angle, and the other shot metrics.
