FREE Golf LAUNCH MONITOR app for iPhone! Too good to be true?
In this video Rick Shiels PGA Golf Professional reviews the Shotvision golf launch monitor app on his iPhone!
With the growing trend in golfers wanting to use a launch monitor it's super exciting that you can now download an app onto your iPhone to track your golf ball! But is it good?
Rick downloads the app onto his iPhone 11 Pro but it will also work (obviously) on the brand new iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max and the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini!

Hi I’m Rick Shiels, welcome to my channel RickShielsPGAGolf. This YouTube channel is designed to help you play better golf, also to help you enjoy your golf more!
I specialise in golf club reviews, golf club unboxing, golf club news, golf club head to heads, and all about golf clubs.
I also want to make you play better golf by providing coaching video on all topics about golf, how to fix your slice, fix your hook, help you drive the golf ball longer, hit your irons more pure, hit your irons closer to the hole and help you draw and fade your golf shots.
I will also help you lower your score by chipping better by stopping you duff and thin chips, pitch the ball closer and also create backspin. Also I will provide you help to putt better and hole more putts!
On this channel I also make fun and entertaining golf content based on crazy and sometimes “gimmicky” golf clubs. I like to cut through the marketing hype about products and I like to give you the honest truth about golf equipment.
If you enjoy the channel make sure you hit subscribe and also tap the notification bell so that you are always notified when I release a new video.
Are you team iPhone or Android? PS what shall I review next?
Why not actually measure the distance, and see if in fact the GC Quad is more accurate…? But, the GC Quad says I hit it longer, so it must be right!
what phone stand do you use ??
what I try is put tablet behind me on range and hit balls in to the sky on record though . only thing is I am right handed but I look left handed.
Well hi I can not get this app in playstore , any ideas
20K+ for that thing? Wut…why? lol
Rick absolutely love your work. This is great analysis on a a few tool. It has been a year and in the world of technology, that is a huge time delta. Are the improvements in phones and app development adding benefit to this golf launch monitor or still roughly not going to work for a pro tour.
Has this come out for Android yet?
Hi there. A year late to the party. But honestly, I feel that the driving range already gives me pretty distance. What I am curious about is swing speed. After watching this video it appears that works quite well. And it’s free. I think thats pretty cool. Sadly golf season is pretty well over, but looking forward to next spring. Thank you for the review.
Hi. Could you do a test between the GC and a rangefinder on a par four?
For 20k i would kinda expect an lcd screen
Love your honesty, and thoroughness.
For average golfer that's close enough for 10 bucks or whatever it is ??. You in a special kind of perspective, [receiving best of best always just sent for free mostly] for us weekend guys its not an issue
Rick, which iPhone did you use? It makes a big difference in CPUs, Memory, cameras… yours looks like an iPhone 6s to an iPhone 8…
I would have liked to have seen you check the real carry distance to qualify both machines.
Did you walk off the yardage to see accuracy of these devices? Which one is closest to actual measured distance? Thank you.
Hey Rick.
Thanks for videos.
I’m hitting range tomorrow.
Since this video do u recommend anything else.
Free app through iPhone at range.
Thanks
Hi Rick, from what I have just seen the free app looks very hit and miss. Indeed, I suspect it is as much to do with chance that the app is accurate if you give it enough attempts. For example, your ball speed of 168.8 if you double it and then subtract 15% should give you the carry distance i.e. 286yds and club head speed of 114mph doubled and add 25% gives 285yds. However, the app is showing 275.9yds. So even if the first two numbers are correct the last one should be wrong.
my take would be that it is better than no monitor. but it's certainly limited and anyone looking for a serious monitor should consider paying for a purpose built one.
Great video. But I bet it woulda been more consistent if you set it up near your lead foot and a driver length away from the target line like they tell you to do in the setup instructions
Free vs $20,000 . I’d say it’s close enough
How does it know if your hitting a muffin of a ball or not? Why wouldn't the app be calibrated for a different ball and the gcquad some other brand ?
Big up sas golf love his videos just as I love urs nice to hear shout outs !!
Did anyone notice the tee jumping up, spinning and digging back into the ground at 8.24 (most impressive thing for me about this video), great shot Rick !
As somebody who has just started golfing this year I'd have to say for under 20 dollars a month it is definitely worth it to give a ballpark range of where I can expect to land with any given club. It's a good budget friendly option for someone who is curious about the info given but doesnt want to spend a large amount to acquire that said information
Right to the point Rick. Many thanx,
Really interesting comparison. For onl £7 if gives us amateurs an idea of distances
