Use the Ball Count tracker to keep a tally of how many balls you have hit during a topic or task.

Usage
The image below shows what the Ball Count tracker looks like when in use on a session topic with every configurable feature enabled.
The information blocks in order are:
- HIT IN -- This is the ball timer.
- BALLS -- Indicates how many balls total are intended to be hit.
- REMAIN -- Indicates how many balls remain to be hit. This is a button that can be used to increase the number of balls to hit during the session.
- YDS -- Indicates how many yards you should try to hit the shot. In this case it is randomly chosen to be 55 which falls within a reasonable range for the randomly selected 54-degree wedge (it gets this yardage from the carry yardage specified for the club in your bag). This is a button that can be used to randomly select a different yardage. If the club sequencer is not used, this yardage is randomly chosen based on the range specified during configuration
- SHAPE -- Indicates what shot shape to attempt which can be str8 (abbreviation for "straight", fade, or draw.
- TRAJ -- Indicates what trajectory to attempt which can be high, mid, or low.
- BALL -- Indicates what position to place the ball in your stance which can be front, ahead, nom (for nominal), mid, back, or behind.
- AIM -- Indicates which direction (or target) to aim at which can be front, left or right.
Below the information blocks is where the club choice would be. This block will only show if the club sequencer is used.
Next is the button to record that a ball was hit. The button is enabled in this screenshot because the timer (indicated in the "Hit In" block) is at zero seconds. When the timer is not at zero seconds and is counting down, the button is disabled and cannot be pushed. When a timer is not configured for this tracker, the button is always enabled.
