Swing Labo

Stop guessing what your swing looks like. Swing Labo turns your phone into a pocket swing coach so every practice session moves you forward. WHY GOLFERS LOVE IT • See the truth, frame by frame. Record your swing and scrub through it in smooth slow motion to catch the moments you can't feel. • Let AI do the breakdown. On-device analysis maps your swing into phases — address, top, impact, follow-through — so you know exactly where to focus. • Read your body, not just the ball. The skeleton overlay traces your posture and angles so flaws jump out instantly. • Watch your motion as one image. Afterimage layers your swing into a single trail to reveal the path of your club and body. • Compare and prove your progress. Put two swings side by side — past vs. present, or you vs. a model — and watch yourself improve. • Share the good ones. Export polished slow-motion clips with overlays to keep, review, or send to your coach. BUILT FOR REAL PRACTICE Capture on the range, review on the couch. Everything stays simple, fast, and focused on one thing: lower scores. Swing Labo is free to start. An optional subscription unlocks unlimited AI analysis.

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.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JaMaGolf at none against Swing Labo's 1. JaMaGolf also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
