Hi all - first post, been reading these forums for awhile now. I am thinking of giving Evolvr a try as it seems like a lot of people on here have seen great results using it, but am wondering how effective it would be using my iPhone to film my swing? I read the thread about filming your own swing and the ideal types of cameras to use but I don't know that a new camera is in my budget at the moment. I know it's not ideal with the lower quality iPhone camera, so I guess I'm just wondering if I should wait to start Evolvr until I can get a better camera or if the iPhone is something I could work with in the meantime and still get quality feedback? Does anyone on here have experience using Evolvr with an iPhone?

Thanks in advance.

Yes.  I only film my swings with my iphone and I have not had any trouble yet with using it for my evolvr lessons.  Someday I'll get a nice 120 fps camera, but as long as the coaches can still see my flaws (pretty sure at this point they could see my flaws with a 1 fps camera :cry: ) then I'm content to stick with the iphone.

Definitely don't wait!! :)  Good luck!

That's a very good point - I'm sure the instructors wouldn't need a 120 fps camera to pick out my swing flaws either. Thanks for the feedback.

If you get the iPhone 5s, it takes video at 120 fps.  Here's an example of an instructor filming himself with the 5s.

Also here are some tips once you do start taking video

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
