1. Set your phone to the side
About 5 m (16 ft) away at chest height, with your whole body and your release in the picture. A tripod is easiest. Throw into a net or out into a field, indoors or out.
Disc golf throw analysis on your phone
DiscLab films every throw from the side and calls out your release speed as soon as the disc leaves your hand. No smart disc, no radar: just your phone and the discs already in your bag.
In beta on Android and iPhone. Ask for a place in the forums; you don't need the app to post.
How it works
Set up once and work through your bag. DiscLab records, measures and speaks, so your attention stays on the next throw.
About 5 m (16 ft) away at chest height, with your whole body and your release in the picture. A tripod is easiest. Throw into a net or out into a field, indoors or out.
Each throw is detected, saved with its video, and called out loud. No tapping record between throws. Measurements depend on your phone, the light and a clear view of your release.
Throw a few with your usual form, then a few with one change. Compare the numbers across the set, replay the throws behind them, and keep what you can repeat.
Beyond the speed
Free and Pro
The free app measures and records every throw, for as long as you use it. Pro shows why a throw flew the way it did, so each session teaches you more.
Get Pro in the DiscLab app.
Before you head to the field
No. DiscLab measures from your phone's camera. Throw the discs already in your bag, with no sensors to attach or special disc to buy.
They stay on your phone. A video goes online only when you choose to upload and share it, and you can take it down at any time.
DiscLab is in beta on Android 12 or later and iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Ask for a place in the Beta program forum; you can post there without the app.
