SwingIQ

Swing analysis with your phone

Don't swing like a pro. Swing like you at your best.

SwingIQ compares today's swing with your own best shot using the same club. Because if you have made that shot once, your body can make that movement. The only question is what you are doing differently today.

  • No sensors or extra equipment
  • Works on the course, even without signal

„Yesterday I struck the ball beautifully. Today nothing works. What am I doing differently?”
The question on the course that SwingIQ grew out of

Every golfer knows the feeling. One day the game comes naturally, the next it has vanished. You know something is different, but not what. And without that answer you start guessing — fiddling with your grip, changing your stance, rushing your tempo — when it may have been just one thing.

Why comparing yourself to a tour professional rarely helps

No two golfers are the same. Different build, different flexibility, different possibilities. What is perfect for a tour player need not be achievable — or even desirable — for you.

Comparing against an ideal

Most analysis apps place your swing next to a theoretical model or a professional. What you mostly see is how much does not match.

  • Differences your body could never bridge
  • A list of faults instead of one thing to work on
  • Discouraging rather than useful
How SwingIQ does it

Comparing against your own best shot

SwingIQ places today's swing next to your best shot with the same club. One thing is beyond dispute: you can make that movement, because you already have.

  • Differences you can actually adjust today
  • Points of attention, not a verdict of right or wrong
  • Your reference moves up as you improve

From recording to answer in three steps

Short enough to do between two holes, on the 12th, when it suddenly stops working.

  1. 1

    Film your swing

    Ask a playing partner for a short video, or set your phone down and let the app start recording once you are in frame. An ordinary phone is enough — the higher the frame rate, the sharper the moment of impact.

  2. 2

    SwingIQ finds the swing and the phases

    The real shot is pulled out of the recording — practice swings and walk-ups are dropped. Your posture is then tracked frame by frame and divided into the eight phases of the swing, with the sound of the strike as the reference point for impact.

  3. 3

    See the difference from your best shot

    You get to see, phase by phase, where this swing deviates from your reference, in plain language. Not a biomechanical report, but a few points to take into your next shot.

Eight phases to place the difference

SwingIQ uses Jim McLean's 8-step model as a language for naming where in the movement the difference sits. Not to attach a score to it.

    Finish

"Your head comes up earlier through the ball than in your best shot" tells you more than a score of 72 out of 100.

Who SwingIQ is for

From your very first season to a weekly lesson — the question "what am I doing differently today?" is the same for everyone.

The golfer who wants to improve

You play regularly and want to understand why one round flows and the next does not. SwingIQ gives you something concrete to take away each round, and shows across the months that you really are moving forward. Stuck on something? Ask a pro in the community, with your swing attached.

The family that plays together

Several players under one account, each with their own archive and their own best shot per club. Handy when the two of you, or the whole family, head out on the course.

The golf professional

Your pupils send you their swings, you see their development over time and draw on the picture what needs to change. In your own group they get exercises and answers in one place. Technology does not replace the lesson — it gives you context you cannot gather yourself in half an hour on the range.

You have already hit your best shot

Film your next swing and see straight away what is different from the day it worked.
