Your dispersion chart plots every shot you have tracked with a club, so you can see the pattern instead of remembering your best one. It is on the Intelligence plan.

Reading the Chart
Each dot is one shot. How far it went is up the side, how far left or right it finished is along the bottom, with Fairway as the centre line.
The dots are colour-coded:
- Hit is a shot that finished where you wanted it
- Other is a shot that missed but stayed in play
- Penalty is a shot that cost you a stroke
The percentages next to each colour are for the club you are looking at, over your last 10 rounds.
What Spread and Off Center Tell You
Under the chart are the two numbers that do the work.
Spread is the size of your landing zone, in metres or yards. It is the ellipse drawn over the dots, covering how far your shots scatter left, right, short and long. Not your average, but the full range of where the club realistically takes you. A tighter number means more predictable ball-striking.
Off Center is how far your pattern sits from the middle, and the arrow shows which way. This is your miss, in a number. If it reads 8m with the arrow pointing right, your ordinary shot with that club finishes eight metres right of where you aimed.
Together they answer the question you actually have on the tee: not "how far do I hit this", but "where does this club put me when I do not catch it perfectly".
Where to Find It
- Open the Performance tab.
- Go to Clubs.
- Tap the club you want, or tap Show All and pick one.
- Use the tabs at the top to move between clubs.
Each club gives you three cards: Distances, a histogram of how far your shots with that club actually went; Dispersion, the chart above; and Strokes Gained for that club.
Using It to Pick Targets
Aim off your Off Center, not off the flag. If your pattern sits right, aiming at the left half puts your ordinary shot in play instead of in the trees.
Lay your Spread over the trouble. If the ellipse reaches a hazard, you are taking on more risk than it feels like, even on a good swing. That is the case for a different club, not a better swing.
Practise the widest club. The one with the biggest Spread is costing you most, and it is not always the one that feels worst.
Read it next to the Strokes Gained card on the same screen. Strokes Gained tells you which clubs are losing you shots. The dispersion chart tells you why.
Notes
It only looks at your last 10 rounds
- Both charts are built from your last 10 rounds, not your whole history. If you changed clubs or rebuilt your swing before that, the older shots are not in here.
It is not the same as the Shot Dispersion Tool
- The Shot Dispersion Tool is the shape drawn on the hole map while you play. It is Premium, and it is built from how golfers on your handicap scatter the ball.
- This chart is the opposite: Intelligence, in the Performance tab, and built entirely from shots you tracked yourself.
You need tracked shots
- The chart only knows about shots you recorded with the Shot Tracker. A club you have not tracked has nothing to show.
