BAL.ON – the Foundation of Fast! BAL.ON is a mobile golf training system refining details of your swing technique to unlock higher club head speed and achieve lower scores. It relies on pressure and video data to analyze your motion along key metrics. Based on your scoring in these metrics, BAL.ON’s AI coaching recommends the one individual drill to fix your swing. You improve your technique, swing faster, hit it longer. Customized feedback, better shot The BAL.ON app records your pressure data and videos of your swings. It compares both with thousands of reference data, many of them from pros. Out of this, BAL.ON spots your chance for improvement. Relying on swing metrics and AI, you get customized drills that help you swing faster and hit longer shots. Take apart your swing, then your opponent BAL.ON rates your swing along three basic metrics: Setup, Backswing, and Impact. Mastering these swing key positions improves your ball-striking quality and consistency. The advanced metrics are Transition Timing, Vertical Timing, Max Vertical, and Rhythm. Understanding and perfecting the timing minutiae within your weight shift gives you the extra momentum for clubhead speed and ultimately shot length.

Aftershot Golf

Aftershot turns a 30-second voice memo into the same kind of stats and coaching tour pros use — reading your swing and your head, without the spreadsheets, the sidetracking, or the manual entry. Your playing partner just got a lot smarter. Tracking your stats shouldn't ruin the round. You came out to play golf, not to play data entry. Most apps make you punch in every shot, every club, every distance — round becomes a chore, you stop using it by hole eight, and the data you do collect is half-wrong anyway. The AFTERSHOT way: Forget tap targets and dropdowns. Speak naturally — Aftershot understands golf. It knows the difference between a knockdown 8-iron and a punch-out, between a flop and a chip, between “left rough” and “left of left rough.” No fantasy advice. If you're a 14, Aftershot won't tell you to dial in your 200-yard approach proximity. It looks at the realistic gains for your game and tells you which two things, worked on for an hour this week, will actually drop your scores. Talk through a hole and Aftershot hears more than clubs and numbers — it picks up when you second-guessed a club, when your legs went, when you got tight over the ball. That context is what a real coach works from, and most apps throw it away. Every round ends with AFTERSHOT READS — the two or three things that actually mattered. Go deeper with Your Game Plan: a straight diagnosis, one focus, and a real practice session with drills that have a pass/fail number. Then ask your Coach anything, and get answers pulled from your own rounds. **PRACTICE THAT TRANSFERS** Record range and short-game sessions by voice. Run measured drills, log a score, and get a retest date. Aftershot tracks whether your practice is actually showing up on the course. **ONE FOCUS AT A TIME** Your Game Plan ranks your biggest scoring opportunities in plain language and lets you choose the one to work on. Your tee cards, round recap and Coach all line up behind it. **YOUR OWN SWING CUES, WHEN YOU NEED THEM** Standing on a par 3? Aftershot surfaces what you told yourself the last time it went well. Star the cues that work. **A COACH THAT KNOWS YOUR GAME** Ask anything. The Coach reads your rounds, your recent patterns and your club data, and can hand you drills to save to My Drills. **SEE THE TREND** Trend lines for driving, approach, short game, putting and more, with markers for every practice session.
