Practice Plans
Your numbers and Bag Report findings, turned into dated sessions with targets you can measure and the Lab tool that records each result.
Nothing saved in My Lab yetMy LabThe clubs, carries and spreads you save in the Golf Lab, kept in this browser on this device. The plan is rebuilt from them each time you open it.
Your plan is built from your own numbers.
Save your bag in any of these three tools. This page reads what you saved, finds what your Bag Report flags, and turns it into dated sessions with targets you can measure.

Built from TrackMan’s tour average carries, 2023 data, published May 2, 2024: carries only, so a sample has gap and carry checks and nothing else.
- Gapping & Bag BuilderYour clubs and carries. The plan checks the gaps your report flags, and every carry you have not measured on a launch monitor.
- Wedge MatrixEvery wedge at every swing length. The plan carries each swing to your card and looks for a swing in the largest gap.
- Shot Pattern LabA launch monitor session. The plan adds overlap, dispersion and launch checks from your own spreads.

From a measurement to the gear
Measuring carry at home or on the range
Every carry check is only as good as the number you write down. What a home launch monitor measures, and what it estimates, decides how far to trust a session.
A gap that measures the same twice
When a gap check gives the same answer in two rounds, it is a fact about the bag. The guides cover which club fills it.

How the plan is built
The plan reads My Lab and the findings My Bag Report writes from it. Each drill is a measurement: a stated number of balls with named clubs, the numbers to write down, and the Lab tool where you record them. Its targets are your own numbers, or our arithmetic on them, such as the gap between two carries or a corridor as wide as your saved side spread. Nothing on this page predicts a result.
Drills are placed in the order the report flags things: gaps first, then overlapping spreads, the wedge card, missing carries, dispersion, launch numbers, and carries not measured on a launch monitor. Each session is filled at one ball a minute until its minutes are used; when every drill has been placed once, the list starts again, so later weeks measure the same things a second time.
The full method is on the Golf Lab methods page.
