How Tangent works

One connected game. Four steps.

The average handicap has improved by just two strokes in thirty years — because the course and the range never talk. Tangent connects them.

1

Track automatically

Your phone or watch detects every swing. No tapping, no pencils — just play golf.

2

Play smarter

A smart caddie uses real game-theory to identify the highest-value shot for your dispersion, not a tour pro's.

3

See the truth

Strokes-gained analytics in plain language: exactly where your rounds leak strokes.

4

Practice what matters

Personalized drills with measured results feed right back into your on-course data.

Automatic shot tracking

Every shot. Zero effort.

Tangent detects shots using sensors from your phone or watch and maps every shot with GPS — club, distance, lie, result. A full round of data without pulling out your phone every shot.

  • Hands-free shot detection from your phone or watch
  • GPS shot maps with lie and club detail
  • Score entry in seconds when you want it

Smart Caddie

More than distances. Targets.

How much better could you be with optimal course management? You don't need a better swing — just better decisions. The Smart Caddie reads your real dispersion and calls the target that maximizes expected strokes gained, the same math tour statisticians use.

  • Personal targets from your shot patterns
  • Expected-value club recommendations
  • Live yardages, wind and elevation
Smart Coach analytics

Know exactly where strokes leak.

Strokes-gained breakdowns translated into plain English. No spreadsheets, no guesswork — just “you're losing 1.1 strokes on approach from 100–150 yards.”

  • Strokes gained vs. your target handicap
  • Trends across every round you play
  • One clear “biggest opportunity” at a time
Tangent's summary screen: greens in regulation at 50 percent, broken into 41 percent lost to approach, 5 percent to driving and 3 percent to short game, with a plain-English explanation and a recommended drill
Tangent's Distance Control drill: five attempts logged, currently at level 2 with a best score of 67
Personalized practice

Practice plans that prove they work.

Your weaknesses become drills, your drills get measured, and your results show up on the course. That's the connection — and it's why Tangent golfers improve faster.

  • Drills targeted at your biggest leaks
  • Measured results, tracked over time
  • Watch your handicap trend respond
30%

Pro subscribers average a 30% handicap improvement in their first year.

Not a swing gimmick. A measured result from connecting what you practice to what you actually shoot.
