SwingDrawGolf coaching video analysis on iPhone and iPad.
SwingDraw gives golf coaches local video review for $14.99 once: record or import a student’s swing, step through it, draw one reference, compare two clips, and export the result. Students can watch exported media without buying the app. There is no subscription or shared coach dashboard.
Choose the coaching workflow before the software
| You need | SwingDraw fit | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Show one student a checkpoint on the lesson tee | Draw lines and angles on local iPhone/iPad video; every analysis tool is included. | Try the six-step first review. |
| Let the student review a takeaway at home | Export a marked photo or video. Send it through an app you already use. | What to include with an export. |
| A shared team library, remote-lesson inbox, or billing | Those features are not offered by SwingDraw. | Compare coaching platforms. |
| An automatic mechanics diagnosis or club/ball speed | Visual tracking does not provide these measurements or instruction. | Read the product limits. |
A lesson-tee workflow in four taps
- Film the swing. Record a range session in SwingDraw or import from Photos. Range sessions detect the swings and let you trim and keep the useful ones.
- Mark it. Draw a shaft-plane line at address, circle the head, or measure an angle. Turn on swing path or body tracking when it supports your point.
- Compare. Open the swing next to the student’s earlier one and step both through the same phase.
- Send it. Save Photo or Save Video, then share it through the student’s usual app with one sentence about the feel to practice.
Send a useful filming checklist
Help students record a consistent camera view before the lesson. Print the six-step filming and review checklist, or share its link with the student.
Why coaches pick a simple tool
- No per-student cost. $14.99 once, whether you teach three students or three hundred.
- No student sign-up. Nobody needs an account to receive a marked clip.
- Private by default. Videos stay on your device. The App Store privacy label is “Data Not Collected”, which matters when you film juniors.
- Fast. Drawing tools are on screen next to the video, with Move, Undo, and Clear one tap away.
Where SwingDraw is not enough
SwingDraw is not a coaching business platform. There is no remote-lesson inbox, voice-over lesson recording, shared student library, cloud backup, or billing. If you teach remotely or run an academy, a subscription platform is the right tool:
- OnForm: coach plans from $19.99/month or $199.99/year, with a free athlete plan connected to a coach.
- CoachNow: PRO at $49.99/month or $499/year, built around coach–athlete spaces.
- V1 Golf / V1 Pro: an established golf-instruction ecosystem with remote lessons.
Many coaches use both: a platform for remote work, and a fast on-device tool on the tee. Prices checked September 25, 2026; see the full comparison for sources.
Coach questions
Do my students need SwingDraw too?
No. Export a marked frame (Save Photo) or an annotated clip (Save Video) and send it through Messages, email, or whatever app you already use. Students only need to watch the video.
Is there a coach dashboard or student accounts?
No. SwingDraw has no accounts, cloud storage, or messaging. If you run remote lessons or need a shared student library, a coaching platform like OnForm, CoachNow, or V1 is built for that.
Can I use it on an iPad on the lesson tee?
Yes. One purchase covers iPhone and iPad. The iPad screen gives side-by-side comparisons and drawings more room.
How many students can I use it with?
There is no student limit and no per-student fee. The library simply grows on your device, so tag each swing with the student’s name.
A lesson record you can repeat next week
For example, film a student’s 7-iron from a marked face-on tripod position. Pause at address, add a circle as a head-position reference, then inspect several frames around impact. Keep the earlier swing and a second attempt from the same position. In Library, press and hold a saved swing and choose Compare.
The shared timeline starts from detected address; it does not force two different tempos into matching phases. Check each visible phase before judging a position change. See the comparison controls and synchronization limits.
“7-iron · face-on · same tripod mark · question: head position from address to impact. Marked frame attached. Next session: repeat this view before comparing.”
Use a student identifier or tag that you can recognize, obtain permission before sharing their footage, and retain the original clip. The app’s local library does not provide a shared student workspace or cloud backup.
Mark it. Compare it.
