Hey guys, my name is Chris and I'm with a new company in Nashville, Tenn., called Swingpal.com. We're just launching a partnership with TheSandTrap and you'll probably be seeing Swingpal banners on the site from time to time, so I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you a bit about what we're doing.
Our company is going to be offering online golf lessons but what makes us unique is that these lessons will be personalized (not just generic tips) and you don't need software of any kind to participate. You simply send us some videos, and you can use a phone if you want to do that, and then we'll create a personal profile page for you at which point you can go through our list of top teaching professionals and have your swing analyzed. It's also 100 Web based, meaning you can access lessons from your phone or anywhere on any computer where you have Internet access.
What's also pretty cool is that even if you're not in a lesson on our site, you can upload videos anytime you want and use all the drawing tools that the pros use to analyze your own videos, and we also have side-by-side capability so you can compare two swings over time to see what kind of progress you're making. And as far as lessons are concerned, they remain archived on you personal profile page forever so you can go back for a refresher anytime you'd like.
Anyway, check out the site and if you have any questions, let me know. We definitely won't be spamming you guys with Swingpal hype but you will see me and a few other staff members on the board and jumping into threads with you guys. We're looking forward to being a part of the community here!
Thanks, Chris

Thanks! Let me know what you think. Our front page is still developing and we still have some new features coming, including an instruction blog and forums. We're also adding new pros to the roster every week. But if you have any feedback, we'd love to hear your thoughts.

Right now we're set up to take payment via Visa, MasterCard or Discover. I saw your thread above about coming over the top. Obviously one of our pros can really dissect your swing for you and send you some drills to help you with your specific problem, but a lot of my friends have the same issue and I encourage them to feel like they keep their back pointed at the target for an extra second or two as they start the downswing. That will promote the arms dropping to the inside as you start down, which will also help create lag. Thanks!

If you give it a try darkhunter, let me know what you think. Thanks!

Would this be useful to a golf beginner? I am just wondering if you would be able to help with beginner type aspects such as grip, etc. with the software. Thanks!

I think it would be especially helpful for someone who is new to the game. The goal in the swing analysis that our pros will provide is to really identify the major weaknesses that are evident, be it actual flaws in the swing or issues in terms of fundamentals (set-up, grip, posture, alignment, etc.) that will negatively impact the swing. Just to be clear for anyone wondering about us, our goal isn't to replace the in-person lesson, which has substantial value. We just want to provide people who are looking for affordable and convenient access to a personalized lesson the platform to do that and to find out what the lesson process is all about. Thanks!

Good stuff! I'd be surprised if you didn't find it to be helpful. You can also go to the site and check out a sample lesson and a sample swing tip to get an idea of what to expect. Thanks!

    • Day 284 - 2025-07-11 Demonstrated and hit enough short game shots in a playing lesson that I can count it as 15 minutes of practice today. Easily.
    • So few of us would ever even come close to actually having to contemplate such a thing that I'm not sure any of us can really provide much insight here. Do what you feel is best. Or most rational. Or most interesting. All I can say is this: whatever you choose, commit to it and go with it. Don't half-ass it and waffle between your choice and the other options.
    • Played 18 holes at Fort Hays, Kansas Wednesday.  It was 95* and very windy. We had to play the back 9 twice because the course had Men's night tied up on the front 9. In the wind and heat, I shot a 56. 2nd round, I shot a 50. (The last 2 holes I played left handed.)  The wind died down a little and the last two holes (17 & 18) I shot using the left handed clubs.  17th hole is a par 5 and using a left handed driver and 2 fairway #3 woods, I was on in 3 strokes. I did 3 put for a 6.  The 18th hole is a par 3 over the water to the green. I sliced the shot (playing left handed) because I was using a 5 iron to compensate for the wind. (Normally would use a 7 or 8 iron as it is only 123 yards.) Landed short of the green and then chipped on an took a 4.   So, my 18 holes, in heat and winds, I shot 56 & 50 = 106, and played the last 2 holes left handed.  Now, my 2nd question. I can buy a left handed starter set for around $200 complete with bag and putter.   Or do I just switch the woods? I shoot a pretty good short game inside 100 yards.  I love hearing your encouragement and positive opinions.  I was diagnosed with Parkinson's around 10 years ago. It started in my right hand and has now spread to no feeling in my right leg below the knee. (I asked the Neruologist how could I walk if I had no feeling and he said, "from muscle memory." ) Then into my left leg and left hand. I am 90% disabled but continue to view exercise as my best friend.  From January 1 to July 11, I will have walked 724,795 steps, 421 miles, and 1,420 flights of stairs. I have to use a cane 1st thing in the morning and take a hot bath to loosen my leg muscles up enough to walk.  (Takes about 2 hours) Currently, I am doing physical theraphy 2 times a week but that may be ending soon.)  My weight has dropped from 175 pounds to 159 pounds. Because my body is constanntly moving. Consquently, myright side is affecting my golf swing.  Also, my friends see the outside jerky movements. However, Parkinson's is a neruological disease and the involuntary movements are minor compared to the lack of taste, no appetite, mental mood swings, night sweats, and foggy brained.  Well, enough of my problems. I fight this disease every way I can and am not a quitter.    So back to my original question. Do I totally change over to left handed golf or do I just change the Woods? Your thoughts please.   BTW, My Dad, L.G. Warner was Texas State Left Handed Golf Champion in the 50's. The reason I play right handed was becuse left handed clubs were difficult to find and not popular until sometime later.  Blessings,  Retired Old Man, Terry      
    • My best shot was BS, I classify as good result. When you try to hit a punch out on the yellow line. Then you just steepen the club from A6.5 and pull hook it way left. It wraps around a tree, gets past the big tree before the green, and rolls up to about 10-FT from the pin.🤣 Then I leave the birdie putt 1/2" short in the heart. I deserved that. 🤣
