Is Break X Golf Right For You? (1-Minute Quiz)

Short answer: if you can practice for 30 minutes or more a week and want a plan built around what’s costing you shots, it almost certainly is. Answer six quick questions and you’ll see what your plan would look like: how many of our 205 games and challenges fit where you practice, how you’d track your rounds, and how long it takes.

Will Break X Golf suit my handicap?

Yes. Every skills challenge has a target set for your handicap, and hitting it unlocks harder levels. It’s used by golfers from a 50 handicap down to professionals.

If you’re +1 or better, contact us and we’ll start you on harder challenges.

How much time do I need to practice?

At least 30 minutes a week. Plans run from 1 to 7 sessions a week, 30 to 90 minutes each, and fit around the time you have. As a rough guide:

• 30–60 minutes a week: 1–2 sessions of about 30 minutes
• 1–2 hours: 2–3 sessions of 30–45 minutes
• 2–4 hours: 3–4 sessions of 45–60 minutes
• 4 hours or more: 5–7 sessions of 60–90 minutes

Under 30 minutes a week, it’s hard for any plan to move your scores. That’s when Break X Golf isn’t the right fit yet.

Where do I need to practice?

Anywhere you can hit or roll balls and see where they go. Every game is tagged by where you can play it, so your plan only uses the places you have. Out of 205 games and challenges:

• Driving range: about 70, with more on a range with ball tracking
• Net with a launch monitor or golf sim: about 80
• Putting green: about 40
• Chipping green: about 40, with more in a short game area with a bunker
• At home: about 30, mostly putting inside 10 feet, plus chipping and dry swing drills
• On the course: 16 on-course games

A driving range, putting green and chipping green together cover about 150 of them. If you only have a putting mat and no launch monitor, there isn’t enough for a full plan.

Do I need to play 18-hole rounds?

No.

• 18-hole rounds: perfect.
• 9-hole rounds: work well, and go straight into the app.
• Simulator rounds: enter them as normal and tag them as sim rounds to keep your data clean.
• Not playing a course right now: you can still start. You’ll rank the areas of your game to build each new plan, but plans work best on real course data, so add rounds when you’re back on the course.

Do I need to track my stats?

No. To get your first plan, just rank your game areas and start. You can carry on like that if you like. For more detail, you have two options:

• Break X Golf’s built-in shot entry (best). Plot every shot on the hole map, and your plan is built from every shot.
• Strokes gained from another app (good). If you use Arccos, Shot Scope or similar, add your score, handicap and strokes gained by area using the quick form.

How long does it take to enter a round?

With shot-by-shot entry, about 10–15 minutes for your first round, then 5–7 minutes once you’re used to it. Low handicappers are about 2 minutes quicker, and golfers above a 25 handicap about 2 minutes slower, because there are more shots to enter. You can enter shots as you play or after the round.

Do I need a golf coach?

No, but it works well with one.

• With a technical coach: your coach does the technique, and Break X Golf gives you the performance challenges. Take your stats to lessons so you work on what’s holding you back most.
• Without a coach: the app tracks your stats, shows your strengths and weaknesses, and tells you what to practice and how. If a skills game isn’t improving after 5 attempts, that’s the time to see a coach for technical help.
• If you’re a coach: use it for your own game, or email us about coaching packages for your players.

What Break X Golf doesn’t do

• No sensors or automatic shot tracking. You enter your rounds yourself.
• No live GPS yardages.
• No swing technique coaching. It tells you what to practice and how, not how to change your swing.
• No automatic sync with Arccos or other apps. You copy stats across one round at a time.
