Now change your game.
The app knows where your ball went; Tags know what you hit. That second half is what already holds the answer — AVA reads it and tells you to take one more club, instead of just telling you that you miss greens.

Paste a round, get the analysis back
GolfPad rounds come in by link. Open the round you want, copy its share link, and paste it below. You get the round back analysed: every tracked shot scored in strokes gained against a scratch baseline, the holes that cost you most, and what to fix next.
That's one round. AVA reads your whole game.
Course rounds and range sessions in one place, trends over time, a progression that adapts as you improve, and a coach view when you want one.

The finding that needs a club attached
Look at the approach chart above: eight of twelve tracked approaches finished off the green, and seven of the twelve started from rough or sand. That is not a strike fault and it is not variance.
It is a yardage habit. You are playing to the carry your best strike produces rather than the one you repeat, so the ball settles on the front edge or in the bunker short of it, two or three times a round, every round, for years.
Without club data, AVA can only tell you that your approach play is expensive. With it, the finding becomes 'your 7-iron out of the rough finishes 20 yards left, take the wedge and get back in play'. A description turns into an instruction.
Automatic beats diligent
Manual shot logging fails the same way for everybody: you record the interesting shots and skip the routine ones, which biases the whole sample toward drama.
Tags remove the decision. Every shot is captured whether it was memorable or not, and the boring ones are exactly where the strokes leak, because a habit is by definition unremarkable.
This is why club-level findings from a tagged season are trustworthy and findings from a hand-logged season often aren't. Partial club data looks like a pattern when it is really a sampling bias, and AVA would rather tell you it doesn't know.
Driver is usually not the problem
The most common self-diagnosis in amateur golf is a driving problem. Club-level data usually disagrees, and it disagrees in a useful way.
Off the tee, the cost concentrates in a handful of holes where the trouble is genuinely reachable, and the fix is a club choice, not a swing change. The round above says it plainly: one 3-wood off the 1st cost −2.26 with two penalty strokes attached, and two fairways from seven left the approaches coming out of rough.
AVA prices that decision hole by hole, which turns an argument about your swing into a plan for your tee shots. It is the fastest scoring change available to most golfers and it needs no practice at all.
GolfPad Tags questions, answered
Do I need to tag every club?
Aim to. Completeness is what makes club-level findings trustworthy: partial coverage looks like a pattern when it's really a sampling bias, and AVA will hold back a finding rather than draw it from half a bag.
What can AVA tell me with Tags that it can't without them?
Which club produced each miss. That converts 'your approach play costs you five shots a round' into 'your 7-iron out of the rough finishes 20 yards left'.
How do I get tagged rounds into AVA?
The same way as any GolfPad round: paste its shareable round link and the analysis comes back. The club data from the tags comes with it, which is what makes the findings club-specific.
Do the tags need charging or pairing each round?
They're RFID and read by your phone as you pull the club, so there's nothing to charge and nothing to remember on the first tee.
Is it worth it if I already own a launch monitor?
Especially then. Practice data gives you your ceiling per club; Tags give you what that club does on real turf under real pressure. The gap between the two is one of the most useful numbers in your profile.
Put a club on every shot, then change the ones costing you
