Use the Hit or Miss tracker to track whether or not you successful hit or missed a target after hitting a ball. This tracker functional exactly like the Accomplishment tracker but differs in the language used for the sake of clarity and coherence when designing and executing practice topics.

Usage
The image below shows what the Hit Or Miss 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. This can be str8 (for "straight"), draw, or fade.
- 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 are the buttons to record results for this tracker. You are to either record miss or hit. The buttons "Record Miss" and "Record Hit" are 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, these buttons are disabled and cannot be pushed. When a timer is not configured for this tracker, the buttons are always enabled.
The final section shows a running tally of results. These include:
- GOAL -- The desired value to achieve for the number of successful Hit results.
- HIT -- The percentage of shots that resulted in a target hit.
- MISS -- The percentage of shots that resulted in a target miss.
There is also 1 tool button in the top right corner.
- Curled Arrow -- Undo the last entry and give a ball back. Use this to change if the shot was a success or failure in case the wrong button was pushed.
