Has anyone tried the new Tiger Woods swing app for the iphone?  What did you think?  Worth the cost?  I've had it keyed up twice only to back out at the last moment.  When using something like this how do you keep your phone steady for the video?  Seems if I were to let my wife video me the camera would be pretty shaky.  Thanks.

Video quality os too low on the iphone to really make it worth it....60fps minimum for recording swings IMO

My wife has a Kodak Playsport, do you think that is more useful for analyzing a swing?

Haven't tried it yet but I can't imagine the video quality to be all that great. I have heard good things about the app in general though. People were complaining about how it's a bad time for Tiger to come out with an instructional swing app when he's still working on his but his swing is still better than mine any day.

Here is a video I took on my iPhone without the my swing app.

The quality is not amazing but its helpful for sure if you don't have a better camera.

Anyone here actually try out tiger my swing? I like the fact that you can compare your swing to tour pro's and upload them to the golfshot site but I am a little worried it wont be as good as the native iPhone camera app.

I have it. I haven't used it for my swing yet though. I like the Tiger Woods swing videos.

I have it and the videos are great as a reference point for the Stack & Tilt Sean Foley swing.

I also like how some of the purchase money goes to the TW Foundation and that the videos can be linked into your Golfshot account. Another plus is Tiger describing where he draws specific lines on his swings to check his positions. You can also click a single button to add the "Tiger Lines" to your/his swings.

"Tiger Lines" are:

Tiger Woods: My Swing (6i DTL) Tiger Woods: My Swing (6i FO)

Unfortunately I'm so used to the normal camera app taking videos and using SwingReader to analyse them that I forgot I can video in the TW app.

One bad point is that the app can't import existing videos; it has to take videos itself to be used.

Just video your swings with the iphone and get the v1 home software on your computer for free and watch them on there.  Itll be better and you will save 10 bucks.

Try the Golf Wizard 101 app. It has a video capture function built in the app that let's you send your swing directly to the Golf Wizard team for analysis. (That's the iPhone app . . . Android and BlackBerry versions simply let you email a video of your swing.)

I agree! If your thinking about using a camera that dosnt record record in 60fps don't even bother. There are slot of cameras out there that say they record in hd but when you look at the spec it's 30fps!

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
