Used by golfers worldwide, gaining speed and distance has never been so easy. “Immediate results. My buddies have all commented I am hitting it farther on the course. I was skeptical at first but after a couple of weeks / training only a couple of times per week I could feel a noticeable difference in my swing speed. It works. I gained 8mph in just 4 weeks. The instructional video is easy to follow too.” – Evans, 40 year old avid golfer “Honestly I’m impressed. The way you can feel your own shaft load and unload and keeping things consistent I think is huge! You guys hit the nail on the head - The Speed Toad is freaking legit.” – Hunter, Professional Long Driver “Holy. Speed. I didn’t realize how effective the Speed Toad really is. It totally makes sense to train with actual equipment that you use day in and day out on the course. No such gimmick here. Pure speed and great feedback. I picked up 5 mph of club speed within 5 weeks and ball speed is back to what my college days were.” – Travis, Professional Golfer

Your phone, a tripod, and two swings. In about five minutes you get a detailed analysis of your swing, down to the things no eye catches at full speed. Then a training plan built from it, and a companion that keeps working on your game with you. "It's the kind of analysis you'd expect from a top-tier instructor. And it nailed every fault I've been working on for years." — Former PGA Tour pro "I've spent thousands on lessons. After one analysis with SwingReaction, I finally understand my swing — and how to fix it." — Trevor, mid-handicap golfer "I was a scratch player and lost it. The analysis showed me what was off, and the training plan got my 7-iron back to 200 yards — consistently." — Brian M., former scratch player You, a bucket of balls, and your own thoughts — that's been practice. This is SwingReaction: you record, SR.AI analyzes, and then we walk the whole way with you — every session, every set, every rep. COMPANION For golfers who want a true companion to their swing: YOUR SWING, EXPLAINED Your analysis isn't a list of faults. It's your Swing Story — a written breakdown of what's happening in your swing, why it's happening, and what to do about it. SR.AI marks up your swing to show what's working and what's costing you, and traces every fault to its root cause, because fixing the symptom never holds. SEE YOUR SWING MEASURED SR.AI measures your swing plane, wrist hinge, rotation and more, and draws each one on your video with the target range next to it. Every range is calibrated to the latest research on elite players, so you see where you are next to where you should be. A PLAN BUILT FROM IT Every analysis comes with a training plan. Each focus gives you the feel to find, how you'll know it's working, and video drills to get there. PRACTICE THAT BUILDS ON ITSELF Each guided session pulls from your latest analysis, your drills, and your notes — what's worked and what hasn't — and builds a plan for where you are right now. Every practice swing comes back measured, so you see whether you hit your focus areas before the next ball. Tell it a drill isn't clicking and it swaps it out. If you're making progress, the next one adds pressure. If you're stuck, it slows down and goes deeper. IT REMEMBERS Every session, every note, every swing you've ever recorded — a living journal of your game, so you can always go back to when it was working. And every analysis builds on the last, so SR.AI sees what's actually changed and knows whether you're ready to move on. HONEST WHEN IT CAN'T SEE If your camera angle hid something, SR.AI tells you what it couldn't measure instead of inventing a fault. WHAT YOU GET - Monthly AI swing analysis, delivered to your phone - Measurements on every swing, with target ranges drawn on the video - A training plan built from every analysis - Guided practice sessions tuned to your swing and progress - Open sessions for unstructured practice - Integrated drills with video and step-by-step instructions - Automated position mapping and swing guidelines - Import any swing video and get the same measurements Start with a 30-day free trial, then subscribe to keep improving. FREE — RECORDING & ORGANIZATION Get started at no cost: - Automatic recording — SR.AI starts when you step into frame and extracts just your swing - Unlimited swing videos - Import swing videos from your camera roll - Your whole history in one timeline - Manual position mapping and drawing tools - Side-by-side comparisons - Pro swing comparisons BUILT BY GOLFERS, FOR GOLFERS We built SwingReaction because we were tired of tools that kept us busy instead of getting us better. If a change hasn't landed yet, you stay on it. We make sure the work actually gets to the course. Because you should never train alone. Enjoy the grind.
