Golf practice app.
Filed by club.

Pick the club in Clippar's practice mode, press the clicker before and after each ball, and each shot is saved under the club you hit it with. Watch the session back club by club instead of scrolling sixty clips of the same shirt.

Practice mode

Each ball, filed under its club.

Practice mode is built for a bucket of balls. Choose the club, hit, and Clippar does the filing.

Coming in the next app update

Continuous mode: press record once, keep hitting.

Practice mode today uses the clicker: one press before the ball, one after. Continuous mode, coming in the next app update, drops the clicker. Leave the phone recording, keep hitting, and Clippar saves each swing as its own clip, trimmed to your setting.

Worth saying what it won't do. It will miss some swings, it can mistake a practice swing for a shot, and it doesn't pick up putts, so check the session and delete any extras with a tap.

Range setup

Set up behind the mat.

01
Holder on the bag, behind the mat.

Wrap the legs round the bag strap and frame the hitting mat.
02
Clicker on your belt.

Press before each ball and after. You never walk back to the phone.
03
Hit, click, next ball.

Clippar trims each clip to the swing and files it under the club you picked.

Why range footage is useless

Sixty balls, one phone, no idea which was the 7-iron.

Filming a range session is easy. Finding anything in it afterwards isn't. Your camera roll doesn't know which club you had, and nobody wants to label clips between balls.

Practice mode does the filing. It's a record of the session, and that's all it claims to be: Clippar doesn't analyse your swing or tell you what to change.

Golf practice app questions

Before your next range session.

Can I use Clippar at the driving range?

Yes. Practice mode records a range session by club. Choose the club, start and stop each shot with the clicker, and each shot is filed under that club. Watch the session back as one reel, club by club.

Does the practice app analyse my swing?

No. Clippar films and files your shots. It doesn't measure, grade or give swing tips.

What is continuous mode?

A mode coming in the next app update: leave the phone recording and Clippar splits the session into shots without the clicker. It will miss some swings and can mistake a practice swing for a shot, so you check the session afterwards.

Do I need the kit at the range?

No, but it helps. The clicker means you don't walk back to the phone between balls, and the holder keeps the same angle all session.

What does it cost?

Clippar is free to download. Recording needs Clippar Pro, and your first recording starts a 14-day free trial. The kit includes 3 months of Pro.

Which phones does it work on?

iPhone, running iOS 15.1 or later, and Android phones, from Google Play.

What is the best golf app for practising?

Depends what you want from the session. Drills come from a training app; ball data comes from a launch monitor or a Toptracer range. Clippar does neither. It films each ball and files it under the club you hit, so you can watch the session back.
