You know what you are supposed to change. Your coach told you. But the only way to check is to film a swing, walk over, watch it back, walk back to the ball, and by then the feel is gone. Film, review, fix is a slow loop, and most of the time the swing never actually changes. Mirror Vision is a digital mirror for your golf swing. Your iPhone films you. Your iPad sits on the ground beside the ball and shows you the swing live, as you make it. You look down where a golfer looks anyway and watch your own backswing happen. What you feel and what is real, connected in the same moment. WHY A MIRROR AT YOUR FEET BEATS A MIRROR ON THE WALL Turn your head to check a wall mirror and you are no longer in golf posture. You open up ranges of motion you do not have in a real swing, so you train the wrong thing. With the iPad at your feet you stay in posture, eyes down, and still see the movement. The first session usually brings an aha moment: the change you thought was huge was almost nothing, or went the other way. Keep practising like this and something else happens. You start to know how you are moving without the screen. That awareness is what lets you change your swing on the course, when there is no video. THREE WAYS TO SET UP Down the line. iPhone behind the ball on the target line, iPad just in front of the ball, below your feet. The classic view, live. Face on. iPhone facing you, iPad at your feet. Watch your head, hips and arms as they move. From behind. iPhone facing your back. A live view of your swing from behind that no mirror can give you. THE PRACTICE LOOP Hit the shot. Look down. The replay is already playing. Auto-detect watches for your swing and records only that, so no dead time fills your library. The iPad replays the shot straight away, in slow motion if you want it. Show your palm to the camera to keep the clip, or do nothing and it is gone. Hit the next ball. Rep after rep, the feedback arrives while the feel is still in your hands. THE TOOLS A low latency live view, plus recording at up to 240 fps for slow motion, frame-by-frame stepping and a precise scrubber. Draw lines, boxes, arrows, circles and angles over the video from either device. Draw them on the live view and they stay there while you swing into them. Jump straight to address, top, impact or finish in any saved swing. Hand gestures. Raise a palm to keep the clip you just watched, or let it go, without walking to either device. Export any clip with your lines on it, or send it to your coach. A swing library, not a camera roll: search, favourites, colour tags and player names. Cloud library, so every swing is on every device. No Wi-Fi or mobile data needed. The two devices connect directly, at the range, in the backyard or in a bay. FOR COACHES Draw the box the student needs to move into and let them find it themselves. Nobody is holding them in position, so they learn what it feels like, with the reference right there on the screen. They take the app home and keep working on the right thing until the next lesson. WHAT YOU NEED Two Apple devices. iPhone as the camera and iPad as the viewer is the best setup. An Apple Silicon Mac can be the viewer too. iOS 16.6 or later. FREE AND PRO Free to download, with one 10-minute mirroring session a day and recording, auto-detect, slow motion, drawing and export all included. Changing a swing takes more than 10 minutes a day. Mirror Vision Pro removes the limit and adds automatic replay on the paired device and the cloud library. Monthly or yearly. Mirror Vision Pro subscription: payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase.

Improve your swing. Lower your scores. Accurate feedback is the key to quickly identifying and fixing swing flaws. Your "feel isn't real." If you want to improve, you need to see what is actually happening instead of just relying on what feels right. Swing Studio automatically detects and records your golf swing, at up to 240 frames per second*, for you handsfree without any other sensors or tools. Just attach your device to a tripod and swing away. Trying to capture the perfect shot? Or the big miss? Take your time, hit as many shots as you need to. Each swing will be recorded to a separate file, without any filler, for you to evaluate when you're ready. Where you're ready to review, you can annotate the video by drawing lines or circling key positions and playback the video at full speed, slow motion, or frame by frame. * On supported devices.
