Adjust your Target Handicap 🎯
Although the target handicap is not shown on this chart, it is still valuable to set a correct target handicap. The recommendations and strokes gained from calculations in other parts of the app are calculated using a difference between their current performance and their target handicap.
Home → Settings (gear icon)
Tap Target Handicap.
Choose the next tier below your current ability (e.g., move from 14 → 10).
Tap Save – the trend chart will now display progress toward that new benchmark.
You can change this anytime: Settings → Target Handicap.
Turn trends into lower scores
Spot plateaus early. If the blue line flattens for several rounds, review Shot Distribution or Driving Direction to find the bottleneck.
The Strokes Gained Strength & Weakness chart (at the top of the Analyze screen) will help answer this question - it indicates where the user is performing poorly relative to their target handicap (driving, approach, short, or putting) Remember: Roundabout Handicap uses your best recent rounds, not every score—so one blow-up round won’t wreck the chart. Tap on Strokes Gained to gain detailed insights with even more charts.
Virtual Coach feature available through the Eagle subscription will help diagnose your biggest opportunities for improvement
Celebrate dips. A steady downward slope means your work is translating to better scoring—keep doing what’s working.
Iterate targets. Once your trend lives consistently inside the shaded band, drop the Target Handicap another 3–5 strokes to keep the challenge fresh.
