Record a golf swing and the AI traces your skeleton, then turns it into four numbers you can act on: tempo ratio, X-Factor, shoulder turn, and lead elbow at impact. Built for golfers who want honest feedback without an expensive lesson. No subscriptions hidden behind every screen, no fake metrics — just what 2D pose detection can measure reliably. KEY FEATURES Skeleton overlay Google ML Kit pose detection visualizes your body line through the entire swing — address to finish. Four numbers that matter - Tempo ratio (backswing : downswing, pro target 3 : 1) - X-Factor (shoulder vs hip separation, pro 40 to 50 degrees) - Shoulder turn (pro 90 to 100 degrees) - Lead elbow at impact (pro around 160 degrees) Side-by-side compare Star your best swing and put any other swing next to it. Tempo, X-Factor, and shoulder turn deltas appear at a glance. Slow motion and drawing Drop the playback to 0.1x and mark up the frame with line and circle tools to study the position you care about. Chicken Wing detection TPI-style fault watch flags lead-elbow collapse at impact. Per-club analysis Driver, iron, wedge, and putter — pick the club so reference values match what you are practicing. Two camera angles Face-on and Down-the-line are both supported. Right and left handed Switch the calculation logic so the metrics work whichever side you swing from. On-device processing Pose detection runs locally. Your swing video stays on your phone.
