One miss, one checkpoint

Find the swing problem before picking the fix

Slice, hook, shank, impact-position, tempo, early extension, and over-the-top patterns can feel unrelated, but the fix starts the same way: record the miss, review the sequence, and choose one priority. SwingSmith turns a normal swing video into a score, P10 frame sequence, written analysis, and visual feedback so practice has a testable starting point.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to diagnose a golf swing problem?

Start with the actual miss, record the swing from a repeatable camera angle, then look for the first visible checkpoint that explains the pattern. SwingSmith turns the video into a score, P10 sequence, written priority, and visual feedback so the next practice session has one test.

Should I fix several swing problems at once?

Usually no. Golfers make faster progress when one priority is tested at a time. If you change grip, takeaway, transition, and posture together, the next swing is harder to read.

Can AI replace a golf coach?

No. A coach still matters. SwingSmith is useful because it gives players and coaches a shared video-backed starting point between lessons, range sessions, simulator sessions, and home practice.

Do golfers upload swings on this website?

No. Swing analysis runs inside the iOS and Android app so uploads, results, history, and coaching tools stay connected.
