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.
