JaMaGolf is your personal golf coach – with you on the range and at home. VIDEO SWING ANALYSIS Record a swing or import a video. JaMaGolf detects your body pose on-device, segments the swing into phases (setup, backswing, top, downswing, impact, follow-through) and measures tempo, spine tilt, head movement and more. An AI coach explains clearly what worked and what to practice next – with concrete drills. LIVE COACHING ON THE RANGE Prop your iPhone up 3–4 meters away and just hit balls. The app detects every swing automatically, analyzes it and speaks a short tip right away – like a real coach standing next to you. The coach remembers your recent swings and never repeats itself. YOUR PROGRESS Every swing lands in your history – with video or skeleton playback, phase timeline and swing metrics. Progress charts show whether you are improving: today, this week, this month. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS Videos never leave your iPhone. For coaching tips, only derived metrics and a few downscaled frames are sent encrypted to our EU server and never stored. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. FEATURES • Video swing analysis with skeleton overlay • Live range mode with spoken tips (English & German) • Club selection – the coach judges a driver differently from a wedge • Phase timeline & swing metrics (tempo, head movement and more) • Progress charts across days, weeks and months • Weekly tour news • Fully localized in English and German THE FOCUS LOOP After three swings the coach picks exactly ONE thing for the session — quiet head, tempo, long lead arm or posture — and only speaks when it matters. You get a concrete drill to go with it. Next visit, the first swings re-measure whether it stuck: "4 of 5 in the green, before 2 of 6." SHARE WITH YOUR PRO Swing card with skeleton frames and the tip plus a trimmed clip — two taps to send it to your coach via WhatsApp.
