ChainRanger Disc Golf Range

ChainRanger turns your phone into a disc golf rangefinder. Point your camera at the basket and the on-device AI finds it and shows the distance instantly — in meters or feet, plus whether the basket sits uphill or downhill. No laser, no GPS waiting, no pacing it off. HOW IT WORKS • Aim your camera at the disc golf basket. • ChainRanger detects the basket in real time and calculates the distance. • A stabilized reading shows on screen. All image processing happens 100% on your phone. Camera frames are never uploaded anywhere. KNOW YOUR CIRCLES Distance to the basket is not just a number — it decides which rules and stats apply: • Circle 1 (C1) is everything within 10 meters (33 ft) of the basket. Inside Circle 1 the putting stance rule applies: after releasing the putt you may not step past your marker, you must show full balance behind it. ChainRanger tells you instantly whether you are inside the 10 m circle, so a borderline lie never catches you out. • Circle 2 (C2) reaches from 10 to 20 meters (33–66 ft). Putts made from here separate good rounds from great ones. • Parked, C1X and C2 are the stat categories that actually measure putting. When you know the exact distance, every putt goes into the right category. ELEVATION — AND HOW IT PLAYS Distance alone doesn't tell the whole story: an uphill hole plays longer and a downhill one shorter — and because a disc glides, every meter of elevation changes the throw far more than in ball golf. ChainRanger reads your phone's tilt and shows the uphill or downhill angle along with the height difference. BASKET MODELS AND CALIBRATION Baskets come in different sizes, and knowing the size is the basis of the whole measurement. Several basket models are built in — pick the one on your course, or enter the dimensions yourself. You can calibrate your camera at any known distance: type in the distance you are standing at (the hole length from the tee sign, for example), aim at the basket and set the focal length. PERFECT FOR PUTTING PRACTICE Set up at exact distances for structured putting routines. Train at 5, 7 and 10 meters instead of guessing — and watch your C1X percentage climb.
