Mis-hits Start With Your Setup. Missed shots begin before you ever take the club back. Pre Shot gives you the precision to fix the cause — not just the symptom.

The Training Aid Gap No One Has Filled
There are hundreds of swing trainers. Countless grip aids. An entire industry of putting tools. But there has never been a single training aid designed to help you answer the most fundamental question in golf:
"How far should I stand from the ball — and where should my feet be?"
As PGA Professional Paul Dickinson puts it, that question is the first thing beginners need answered. But it never stops mattering. Your setup is the foundation your swing is built on.
Distance from ball, foot spread, ball position, stance alignment — these inter-related variables change club to club, shot to shot, and over time. Pre Shot solves this through a simple iterative discovery process using impact sticker tape.
Discover
Apply impact sticker tape to your clubface. Use the Pre Shot device to set a starting distance, swing, and read the trace. Off the toe — move closer. Near the hosel — step back. Repeat until pure center-face contact, club by club.
Record
Log your proven setup in the companion app — distance from ball, bilateral foot position, ball placement, tee height, shot shape, and reference photos — for every club in the bag.
Repeat
Return to your optimal, evidence-based setup on command. On the range. On the course. After a two-week break when the feeling is gone.
Every Golfer Drifts. Without Exception.
Setup drift — those almost imperceptible changes in your position that accumulate over time — affects everyone from beginners to PGA Championship competitors. Pre Shot gives you the precise reference point to detect it and correct it before it wrecks a round.

Finally — a clear, precise answer to how far you should stand from the ball. Build correct habits from day one using real impact data.
Mid-Handicappers
Stop blaming your swing. Setup drift is often the real culprit. Identify and fix it systematically with precise measurements.
Low-Handicappers
Capture your peak ball-striking setup. When that feeling fades, your evidence-based reference is waiting — detect drift fast.
Shot Shapers
Record the exact stance adjustments that produce your draw or cut on demand. Independent measurement scales for open or closed stances.

"This is a great training aid — it's incredibly easy and simple to set up, really lightweight, and slides right into your golf bag. As an average golfer heading to the driving range, you want something you're excited to use, not a complicated device that takes forever to assemble. This took me less than a minute, which is perfect.
"What I love most is how versatile it is. You can measure your exact distance from the ball, experiment with opening or closing your stance, and instantly see the effects of narrower or wider foot positions. It's ideal for beginners because it clearly answers that all-important question: 'How far should I stand from the ball?' Then, as your game improves, it becomes a powerful tool for ongoing improvement.
"One of the best features is that it lets you capture your exact body positions when you're in the zone and hitting the ball great. We all drift — even low-handicappers drift. When you lose that feeling two weeks later, you have a clear reference to fall back on. That's a huge selling point."
