I use it on the range, constantly. I'm always working on the same things on the range, Tempo & Club Face path. My watch tracks both, so I look at it after ever shot.

While playing, I use it primarily for distance inside 100 yards (estimate) and I'll sometimes check my Tempo & Club Path. I don't have the newest Apple Watch, so I don't get "wrist closure rate" & a couple of other data points.

Personally, I think the best data, is "trends". I can pull up the details of any round I've ever played or rounds over a given period of time. I can then tell if my putting is off or GIR's are out of whack. Same with driving or putting. I average hitting about 75% of fairways and my "miss" is equally divided between "left" & "right" ... which tells me, my club head path is reasonably good.

Knowing what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong, is huge. In the case of this program, there's no guessing ... it's real data.
Thank you that's very helpful. I'll look into it further.
