No such app exists. An iphone could never do any of those things.

The apps that detect speed use GPS and/or the accelerometers inside the phone.  They can detect how fast the phone is moving (and in what direction), but they can't detect how fast something outside the phone is moving.  That would take either a) something attached to the external object with accelerometers and a way to transmit the data back to the phone, or b) the phone being radar capable (transmit/receive), which it isn't.  I suppose somebody could develop an app which let you attach your iPhone to the golf club and use the accelerometers that way, but I'm thinking that would probably be a little bulky and dangerous to the phone! :-)

There are several devices on the market which attach to the golf club shaft and transmit swing speed, club path, etc. back to the phone - but as far as I know, all they can sense is what the club is doing and how fast it's doing it.  They don't provide all the information that a TrackMan or other similar device does.

Just put a ball on the face of the phone when you have it on GPS mode.  Take a swing and it will measure the amount of force you imparted on the ball and the distance.

You need to get something like the SwingByte or 3bays. It attaches to the club and will measure swing speed reasonably well among other things.

The iPhone is awesome and so is the development environment.

I was just going to say that someone could clip the phone to your glove and here it is:

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
