About

Swing Coach

Turn an iPhone video into a clear, focused golf-practice plan. Swing Coach records or imports your swing, detects your body position on device, and lets you study the motion with a synchronized pose overlay. It identifies key swing moments, measures a small set of repeatable movements, and ranks the next adjustment to focus on. CAPTURE YOUR SWING • Record with the rear or front camera • Request high-frame-rate capture when your iPhone supports it • Import standard or Slo-mo videos with the system Photos picker • Use live framing guidance to keep your body visible REVIEW THE MOTION • Scrub playback at ¼×, ½×, or full speed • Jump to address, top, impact zone, and finish • View a synchronized body-pose overlay • Compare a swing with a personal baseline PRACTICE WITH ONE CLEAR FOCUS • See shoulder tilt, hip movement, trail-elbow bend, tempo, and tracking quality • Get one ranked next-swing focus instead of a wall of numbers • Preview a constrained pose adjustment before practicing it • Export a coaching visualization to share LEARN FROM YOUR OWN SWINGS • Save swing history and tag contact and direction • Build club- and camera-specific personal baselines • Unlock conservative personal target ranges after enough matching successful swings • View a local shot-direction tendency after enough comparable labeled swings PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your videos, pose results, tags, and personal models stay on your iPhone. Swing Coach has no account, advertising, analytics, or developer-operated server. Nothing is shared unless you choose the system Share button. Swing Coach uses two-dimensional camera estimates. Results depend on framing, lighting, clothing, camera angle, and device capability. Coaching suggestions are informational practice aids, not medical advice or a substitute for a qualified golf professional. The ball-path view is a personal pattern estimate, not a launch monitor and not a prediction of carry, curve, or landing position.
