Name: Clippar golf shot tracer drawing the ball flight on a real drive

Description: A drive filmed on the Clippar golf recording kit, with the Clippar iPhone app drawing the ball flight over the video as a shot tracer. The trace is generated on the phone from the footage itself — when the app cannot pick the ball up, it leaves the shot as filmed.

Clippar draws your ball flight onto the video of full swings, when it can pick the ball up, seconds after you hit. When it can't, you draw the arc yourself. Then it strings the traced shots into a reel with your score on it.

The tracer is part of Clippar Pro

The shot tracer

Your ball flight, drawn on the shot.

Film a full swing and Clippar finds the ball, follows it and draws the flight, on the phone, seconds after impact. This is a real shot, filmed on the kit and traced in the app.

When Clippar can't pick the ball up, into a low sun or straight away from the camera, it leaves the shot as filmed and you can draw it yourself.

When the tracer can't see it

Draw the trace yourself, then make the reel.

Some balls vanish into the sky. Clippar lets you draw those by hand, and the line flies on the same physics as the automatic trace.

Why most traced shots never happen

A tracer is only as good as the footage.

Tracer apps assume somebody filmed the shot. On a normal Saturday nobody did: the phone was in your pocket, or propped against the bag and pointed at the wrong tee. So Clippar comes with the part other tracer apps leave out.

A holder keeps the phone on your bag or buggy, framed on where you hit from. A Bluetooth clicker on your belt starts and stops the recording, so the shot gets filmed without anyone holding anything. Then the tracer has something to work with.

From tee to trace

Two presses to a traced shot.

01
Clamp it where you hit from.

Wrap the holder's legs round a bag strap or buggy rail and frame where the ball will go.
02
Click. Swing. Click.

The clicker on your belt starts recording before the shot and stops it after, from up to 20m away.
03
Watch it fly.

Clippar trims the clip and draws the flight when it can pick the ball up. If it can't, draw it in with a finger.

The kit that films for the tracer

What's in the box, and why a tracer needs it.

A tracer needs a steady frame and a shot that was recording. The kit handles both.

Shot tracer questions

Before you trace your first drive.

Does the shot tracer trace every swing?

No. It draws the ball flight on full swings when it can pick the ball up in your footage. When it can't, it leaves the shot as filmed, and you can draw the trace in by hand. Putts aren't traced.

Is there a golf shot tracer app for iPhone?

Clippar is one. It works on iPhone (iOS 15.1 or later), and on Android from Google Play.

Is the shot tracer app free?

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

Can I trace golf videos I've already filmed?

Yes. Import clips from your camera roll and Clippar trims and traces them the same way it does its own recordings.

Where does the tracing happen?

On your iPhone. Swing detection runs on the phone itself, and no video is sent anywhere for analysis.

Can I fix a trace that's wrong?

Yes. Draw the arc by hand: confirm the ball, shape the flight and mark where it finished. It uses the same physics as the automatic trace.

Which shot tracer app is best for iPhone?

Depends who's holding the phone. If a mate is filming, most tracer apps will do. If you're filming yourself during a round, you want one that records hands-free, finds the shot and traces it without you touching the phone. That's the job Clippar is built for.

Is a shot tracer app worth the money?

If you'd watch the shot back, probably. A traced drive is the clip people actually send to the group chat. Try it before deciding: Clippar is free to download, and your first recording starts a 14-day free trial of Clippar Pro.
