The real Nine Iron Club screen: an 8 iron, the biggest thing on the page, for 150 yards.

Which club? Your own numbers answer it

Nine Iron is a golf club-picker app for iPhone and Apple Watch. You set a distance, and the biggest thing on the screen is the club to hit. The answer comes from shots you logged yourself, so it reflects how far you really hit each club, not how far a chart says you should.

New to tracking your distances? Pick a starting level and you get an answer on day 1. Each number is labeled as a starting point until your own shots replace it.

A separate number for the course, the range and a screen bay

A screen bay is a hitting bay with a screen that shows your numbers. A 7 iron off that mat and a 7 iron from a fairway are not the same shot, so Nine Iron keeps a number for each place and never averages them together. Every number says what it is: yours, rough (only a few shots so far), estimated from your other clubs, or a starting point.
