Measured Feedback
Measure What Matters
Ball Speed
How fast the ball leaves the club after contact.
Clubhead Path
The clubhead path through impact, a key input for diagnosing slice, hook, push, and pull patterns.
Face Angle
Whether the club face is open, closed, or square when it meets the ball.
Impact Location
Whether contact is moving toward the toe, heel, or sweet spot of the club face.
Carry (Est)
Estimated carry distance for practice review. Distance estimates are labeled separately from measured video data.
Total (Est)
Estimated total distance for directional training and session comparison.
Data transparency
xShot Launch Monitor by xShot Golf clearly labels estimated values. Carry (Est), Total (Est), and no-ball Ball Speed estimates are not presented as direct ball-flight measurements.
Product Overview
Turn your iPhone camera into a golf launch monitor.
xShot Launch Monitor is an iPhone golf launch monitor app and golf swing analyzer for players who want useful practice feedback without buying a dedicated radar unit, simulator, high-speed camera array, or proprietary hardware. The app uses iPhone video to analyze a controlled swing and show the club and impact data golfers use to understand their motion.
Use it as an indoor golf swing speed app, a no-ball training tool, or a portable launch monitor companion at the range. xShot separates measured video feedback from estimated ball-flight values, so you can see which numbers come directly from the captured swing.

The Real Problem
Most golfers never truly see why the ball slices, hooks, pushes, or pulls.
Many players know the result of a bad shot, but not the cause. xShot Launch Monitor by xShot Golf is designed to make the invisible parts of impact visible, so you can connect ball flight to the club path, club face, and strike location that created it.
Watch the real motion of the club through the hitting zone instead of guessing from ball flight alone.
See whether the face is opening, closing, or returning square as the club approaches impact.
Understand the path and face relationship behind common slice, hook, push, and pull patterns.
Product Features
Real measured feedback, not just a swing recording.
Clubhead Path
Shows the clubhead path through downswing, impact, and follow-through, including outside-in and inside-out tendencies.
Face angle analysis
Measures how the club face opens and closes through the swing, including whether it is open, closed, or square at impact.
Speed and ball direction
Displays Club Speed, Ball Speed, Ball Angle, and Path from the captured swing video. In no-ball practice, ball-related values are shown as estimated where applicable.
Impact Location
Helps identify toe, heel, and sweet spot contact so strike quality becomes easier to train.
Practice with or without balls
Train swing speed, rhythm, swing path, and face control at home, in a garage, outdoors, or in a compact indoor space.
No launch monitor required
No radar. No simulator. No proprietary hardware. Use only an iPhone, a stable stand, and reflective tape.
Instant Swing Feedback
See your swing analysis almost instantly after impact. By the time you finish your follow-through and look back at your iPhone, your results are already there.

How It Works
How the xShot iPhone golf launch monitor app works.
- Set up Use an iPhone, a stable phone stand, a green mat surface, and a white strip on the club head.
- Swing Practice controlled half to three-quarter swings while the app monitors the club head and face motion zone.
- Review Get a visual overlay and measured values for path, face, speed, ball angle, and strike location.
- Train without a ball Use the same setup for speed, rhythm, face control, and path training indoors when hitting a real ball is not possible.
Why It Matters
Slice and hook fixes start with seeing path and face.
Understand whether the club is moving across the ball, from the inside, or too far away from the intended path.
See whether the face is open, closed, or square at impact, and how that affects the start direction.
Know whether contact is drifting toward the toe, heel, or sweet spot.

Watch on YouTubeSafe Practice
Designed for controlled swing training, not unrestricted full swings.
For the best camera angle, the phone is positioned near the ball and club head motion area. xShot Launch Monitor by xShot Golf is recommended for half to three-quarter swing training rather than full swings, because the club can contact the phone or stand during the follow-through.
- Use a stable phone stand.
- Use a white strip on the club head.
- Keep the phone and stand clear of any uncontrolled swing path.
- Avoid full swings unless you have confirmed the phone is safely outside the follow-through area.
- Read all in-app safety prompts before training.
