About the Swing Coach App
Your iPhone will guide you through creating the Video
The iPhone Only Swing Coach App has been used by members to provide Videos for GPS.
The app talks you through the camera setup and then will automatically capture
each swing you take. ​Swing Coach AI then analyses the characteristics of your swing against high performance model golfers across many metrics - swing plane, shaft lean, head etc.
You can then share the video with GPS via WhatsApp or email simply through the share menu.
​​
What GPS coaches do is analyze the video and the associated trackman data alongside your survey goals to provide you a personalised analysis and plan based on where your are in your golf journey through our Golfer MOT.
​
A free Swing Coach trial is available - this allows you to take your initial video and for those interested we can incorporate using Swing Coach on an ongoing basis in your plan -
this will need you to have the full paid app access for use away from the Studio.
​
We can advise you on what settings to use in the app and guide you to focus on the specifics settings best for you at your current stage of the journey.
We do believe that using the app can alongside guidance improves practice performance.

What GPS can add to
Swing Coach Analysis
- Detail Metrics based on the ball
- Best practice guidance from the MOT
- PGA personalised coaching
- Practice Plans with Drills
Swing Coach has a library of drills from a variety of a set of well renowned YouTube coaches and it provides a vast amount of data and information based on pure video analysis. Its excellent at what it does and probably the best we have seen from multiple perspectives - not least the user experience.
​
However, as a word of caution one of our members used the audio help to tell him each time he hit the ball what the low point and shaft lean was given a score between 1 and 10 - 1 is good, 10 is bad. He moved from a 10 score on shaft lean to a 3 which was a significant improvement hitting into a net at home. Back on the simulator most shots resulted in pull hooks.
Net result confusion and a need for a lesson !
​​
This isn't a knock on swing coach at all - rather a reflection that the golf swing is an overall combination of so many elements and sometimes even 2 bad scores on the app of swing elements can be working in opposite directions which results in a good shot for the golfer. Each persons swing is different and even the best in the world have poor scores in some part of swing coach. Its consistency of where the ball goes that matters in the end.
​
We strongly recommend that whenever a swing change is made checking what happens to the ball consistently is key. Hence simulator or range use with the app is vital.
And probably a word with one of our coaches wouldn't go amiss either.
