App Installation, Pairing, and Mirroring

Install an App

1. Search for "Phigolf" in your app store and download the Phigolf app (Android: Google Play Store / iOS: App Store).
2. Downloading and installing on a standard PC is not supported. The sensor cannot connect properly when installed through an app player.

Pairing (Pair the sensor with the Phigolf app)

Enable Bluetooth and location services on your smartphone. Do not connect the sensor from the Bluetooth list; the sensor and app will connect automatically.

Press and hold the sensor's power button for 5 seconds, until the LED blinks alternately, to turn it on.

If the sensor is blinking and Bluetooth and location services are enabled on your phone, the sensor will automatically connect in the app. If it's not blinking, press the power button briefly to make it blink. Be careful not to hold the power button, as this will turn the sensor off.

Caution: Do not manually connect the sensor from the Bluetooth device list. The sensor must connect automatically through the app for proper operation.

How to Swing

How to Get Ready to Swing

1. Position the sensor at an angle where it can detect the swing. For Wood/Iron clubs, the angle is 0-15 degrees for detection, and 16-70 degrees for general use. For Putters, the angle is 0-5 degrees for detection and 6-50 degrees for general use.
2. Swing according to the avatar's stance at the bottom center of the screen.
3. If the swing is not recognized, lift and lower the swing stick once, then try again.

Avatar Feedback:

• Red Avatar: Indicates an incorrect address angle. Adjust the head up or down to fix it.
• Blue Avatar: Indicates the correct address angle. Hold the position for 2-3 seconds until you hear "READY!".

SWING! Swing with the right power for the target distance.

Swing Guidelines

Important: Please do not waggle. Take back swing/putt immediately after the App says “Ready Swing”.

Warning: If your hand touches the motion sensor during or after swing/putt, your swing may not get recognized.

Q&A (Software)

3. Once the direction is set, press the sensor's power button again briefly.
