Phone Video Analysis
Use SwingSmith when you want swing feedback from the phone you already have, without buying a launch monitor, sensor, or wearable first.

No launch monitor required
Hardware data can be valuable, but many golfers first need to see the movement pattern. SwingSmith turns a normal phone video into a score, P10 frame sequence, written priority, and visual context inside the app.
Start with one free starter analysis. Uploads happen in the mobile app, not on this website.
| Option | What it gives you | Most useful when |
|---|---|---|
| SwingSmith phone video | P10 checkpoints, score, written priority, visuals, and Ask Brody follow-up from a normal swing video. | You need a movement checkpoint before the next range, home-net, simulator, or lesson session. |
| Launch monitor | Ball speed, launch angle, spin, carry, club delivery, and impact data depending on the model. | You need ball-flight or impact numbers and have the budget, space, and setup time. |
| Wearable or club sensor | Sensor-specific motion data, tempo, club data, or training feedback depending on the device. | You want a hardware training aid and are willing to manage another device. |
Step 1
Use the phone you already have. Keep the golfer, hands, club, and hitting area visible from a repeatable angle.
Step 2
SwingSmith keeps upload, result, history, visuals, and coaching follow-up connected inside the iOS or Android app.
Step 3
Use the score, frame sequence, visual context, and written priority to see where the swing pattern starts.
Step 4
Take one focused checkpoint to the next bucket, home-net session, simulator bay, or lesson instead of chasing a full equipment setup.
How to judge it
If the question is spin, launch, carry, or precise club delivery, hardware has a clear place. If the question is what movement to practice next, a phone-video analyzer can be the faster and cheaper first step.
Turn a normal phone swing video into a score, P10 sequence, and one practice priority.
Use the iOS app when the swing video starts from an iPhone recording.
Use the Android app when the swing video starts from a Google Play install.
Keep the first analysis simple with one clear practice priority.
Use phone video and a clear P10 sequence before buying sensors or extra hardware.
Review a left-handed swing from phone video without translating every right-handed tip.
Start with a free AI analysis in the app before deciding whether hardware belongs in your setup.
Set up the phone angle so the P10 sequence has the best chance to be useful.
Use video feedback when a net hides full ball flight.
Turn a range session into one clear checkpoint before the next bucket.
Decide when an app, video tool, coach workflow, or hardware analyzer is the better fit.
Start with the phone you have
Install SwingSmith, upload a clear swing in the app, and use the result to decide whether the feedback gives you a useful practice priority.
Yes. SwingSmith is built around phone swing video. A launch monitor can add ball and impact data, but it is not required for SwingSmith's P10 checkpoints, written priority, and visual review.
No. SwingSmith starts from a normal swing video uploaded in the mobile app, so there is no club sensor, body sensor, or extra hardware requirement.
It answers a different question. Phone video is useful for body, club, sequence, and movement checkpoints. Launch monitors are stronger for ball-flight and impact numbers.
No. Uploads and results happen inside the iOS and Android app so history, visuals, and Ask Brody coaching stay connected.
Yes. SwingSmith uses one free starter analysis so new users can test the workflow on a real swing before deciding whether to upgrade.
