AMG Demos Swing Coach App

This app looks interesting. It used GEARS data to develop an app that can give you feedback on the following.... 

Swing Plane, Hand Path, Hip Depth, Spine Stability, Flying Elbow, Shoulder Plane, etc... 

‎Swing Coach - Golf

‎Practice with Voice Feedback: Swing Coach is the #1 golf practice app with instant voice feedback on your golf swing, right after each swing. Focus to Improve: You tell Swing Coach what you want to work on, and...

I am actually very intrigued with this. Not sure how accurate it is due to using a phone camera, but if it can be used to give general feedback in real-time. Like, if the swing path you want is close to what the app is showing, then it could give instant feedback on feels you are trying.

Here's what I will say about this for now:

• It can tell you that you're out of whack a little bit if you want to check on some things.
• It won't be great for practice because you're going to exaggerate some things, you're going to go a bit slower, etc.
• It could be useful in practice to smack you back down to reality. If you're trying to come from the inside more, and 0 is perfect, and you're typically a 4 over the top, you get a 1 or a 2 if you do it better but at too fast a rate, when you should be going for 4 or 5 from the inside.

I'll test it out in a few days or so. Two week free trial, so… I recommend you find a two week span you can use it a lot.

I wonder if it does face-on at all. In quickly launching the app it seemed like it put me in down the line mode.

Learned about this here: 

 

I started the trial yesterday and am impressed so far. Tons of potential, but can I trust this? Seems like a fairly helpful real-time feedback tool without much downside, though I have slight concerns about making poor corrective actions to satisfy the algorithm.

Seems to be just down-the-line right now, with some nice video content in the library to help work on fixes.
