SwingDrawUseful comparison
Two 7-iron clips from the same tripod position, both paused at the top. Draw the same reference on each and note the drill you were trying.
Compare two golf swings without fooling yourself.
A side-by-side view is only useful when the camera angle, club, swing phase, and question are close enough to compare. Here is the workflow SwingDraw is designed around.
Open two clips and understand synchronization
- In Library, press and hold a saved swing and choose Compare.
- Select the other panel and choose the second saved swing from Library.
- Use the shared playback control, timeline, and frame arrows to review the pair. Comparison speed choices are 0.25×, 0.5×, 1×, and 2×.
- Check the visible movement in both clips before interpreting the overlays. Use the same club and camera position where possible.
The shared timeline uses detected address as each clip’s starting reference, then advances both by the same elapsed time. It does not stretch two different tempos so every swing phase matches. If one swing reaches the top or impact sooner, that difference can remain visible. Do not assume that two frames displayed together show the same phase; inspect each checkpoint before comparing positions.
Control the four variables first
| Variable | Keep consistent | What goes wrong otherwise |
|---|---|---|
| Camera view | Down-the-line with down-the-line, or face-on with face-on | Perspective creates a false position change |
| Camera height and distance | Similar lens height, distance, and framing | Body and shaft lines appear to shift |
| Club | Compare the same club when possible | Setup and swing shape can differ naturally |
| Swing phase | Match setup, top, impact, or another exact checkpoint | Two different moments look like a technical change |
A repeatable before-and-after test
- Name one change. For example, keep the head steadier through impact or change the takeaway path.
- Choose the control clip. Use a clear earlier swing with known club, angle, and practice context.
- Record the test clip from the same setup. Repeat the phone placement before hitting the next ball.
- Align the checkpoint. Check that both frames show the phase you intend to compare; synchronized time alone does not guarantee this.
- Draw only the related reference. Use the same line, circle, or angle on both sides.
- Keep the result. Save a note about the drill and ball flight, not just whether the frame looked better.
A comparison to keep—and one to repeat
Record again
One clip is face-on and the other is down-the-line. The head appears farther from a line, but the viewpoint changed too. Record from the original position before judging progress.
Compare movement, not screenshots alone
A still frame can hide how the golfer arrived there. Step backward and forward around the checkpoint. SwingDraw includes frame controls, drawing tools, head-stability and swing-path views, plus notes and tags so a comparison can retain the context of the practice session.
When SwingDraw is the right kind of comparison app
SwingDraw is built for golfers who want to own the review workflow on iPhone or iPad: record or import clips, mark frames, compare attempts, keep practice context, and export results. It costs $14.99 once in the U.S. App Store and has no subscription, ads, or in-app purchases.
It is not a coach marketplace, a remote-lesson platform, or an automated diagnosis. If you need instruction, use the comparison to ask a coach a precise question rather than treating any single line as a universal swing rule.
