Your swing is costing you strokes. Fairway shows you exactly where. Prop your phone up, film one swing, face on or down the line, and Fairway tracks your body joint by joint through every frame. In seconds you get a clear, scored breakdown of your swing and the one thing to work on first. No sensors, no launch monitor, no lesson booking. FILM ONE SWING • Record in the app or pick a clip from your camera roll • Practise at the range, in the garden or in your living room • Body tracking runs right on your phone SCORED IN SECONDS • An overall score out of 10, and a score for each part of your swing: hips, chest, separation, posture, head, tempo and sequence • Plain-English notes on what each score means and what to do about it • Club speed, ball speed and estimated carry for your driver, irons and wedges • Tempo, backswing and downswing timing, and how far your chest and hips turn ONE THING TO FIX FIRST Fairway picks out the weakest part of your swing - weighted towards your goals, whether that's more distance, fixing a slice or more consistency - so you always know what to practise next. SEE WHERE IT WENT WRONG Open any part of your swing and follow it frame by frame. Watch your head sway, your posture change or your sequence fall out of order, with the moments that matter marked for you. Slow the video right down and jump straight to the top of your backswing, impact or finish. WATCH IT IMPROVE • Charts for every number over time • A practice streak to keep you coming back • Achievements for carry, club speed, tempo, a steady head, practice days and more Terms: https://fairway-site-pi.vercel.app/terms Privacy: https://fairway-site-pi.vercel.app/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Fairway at none against Ace Trace's shown. Fairway also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Ace Trace's advantage is chart position (#109 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
