SwingDrawIs your head really still?
Head movement is hard to feel and easy to argue about. SwingDraw tracks the head on your own swing video from address to impact, so you can see sway and dip instead of guessing.
How to check it
- Film on a tripod, face-on for sway or down-the-line for movement toward the ball.
- Open the swing and turn on body tracking.
- Step from address to impact and watch the head point and the Head Stability label.
- Draw a vertical line or circle at the head position at address for a fixed reference.
- Compare with a swing you liked from the same camera position.
What the Head Stability score means
The score runs from 0 to 100. SwingDraw tracks a usable nose or ear landmark, smooths it, and adds up how far it travels between detected address and impact. That travel is scaled to the golfer’s estimated torso size: higher scores mean less movement. A score of 57 is not a percentage or a grade.
The measurement lives in the 2D camera image. Camera movement, missed detections, and different camera positions all change it, so compare scores only between your own clips filmed the same way. The overlay guide explains the calculation in detail.
When not to trust it
- A hat brim, hair, or low light hides the face landmarks.
- The phone was handheld or bumped.
- The golfer is small in the frame, so a few pixels matter a lot.
In those cases, draw your own reference circle at address and step through the swing manually.
Head movement questions
What is a good Head Stability score?
There is no universal target. The score summarizes how much the tracked head point moved from address to impact in this video. Use it to compare your own swings filmed from the same position, not to compare against other golfers.
Should my head stay completely still?
Not necessarily. Many good swings show some head movement. Ask your coach what movement is acceptable for your swing, then use the overlay to check it.
Which camera angle is best for head movement?
Face-on shows side-to-side sway; down-the-line shows the head moving toward or away from the ball. Keep the phone on a tripod: any camera movement looks like head movement.
