SwingDrawHow to analyze your golf swing video on iPhone.
To analyze golf swing video on iPhone, import a steady clip, choose one visible question, step to the relevant frames, add one reference, and compare a similarly filmed swing. SwingDraw includes those tools for $9.99 once; its tracking overlays help visual review but do not diagnose faults or measure ball flight.
1. Record or import a usable clip
Film down-the-line or face-on from a stable support, with the full golfer and club visible. In SwingDraw, record a range session or import from Photos. Keep the original clip. The camera setup guide explains height, light, and repeatable positioning.
2. Choose the view for one question
Decide what you want to see before adding drawings. These are observation examples, not instructions to change your swing.
| Question | Useful view | What to compare |
|---|---|---|
| Does the head move in this camera view? | Face-on for apparent lateral movement | A head reference at address and nearby impact frames, with a stationary camera. |
| Where is the club relative to my setup reference? | Repeatable down-the-line view | A shaft-plane line at address and the visible club through the takeaway and transition. |
| Did the same checkpoint change between sessions? | Same view, height, distance, and club | The same visible phase in each clip; a shared playback time alone is insufficient. |
3. Pause and step through the movement
Watch the unmarked swing first. Pause, use the frame arrows to find address, the top, or the impact neighborhood, then inspect the frames on both sides. Pan and zoom if needed. A missing or blurred contact instant cannot be recovered simply by slowing playback.
4. Add one drawing or tracking layer
Select Line, Circle, or an angle tool and place a visible reference. Use Move and edit handles to adjust it. Alternatively enable body tracking or Clubhead Path, then check that the points or trace actually follow the golfer or club. A line in a 2D video is affected by the camera view; it does not establish a correct 3D position.
If a joint is misplaced or the club trace jumps, return to the raw video and a manual reference. Read what the AI tracking values mean before treating any score as meaningful.
5. Compare a second swing fairly
In Library, press and hold a saved swing and choose Compare, then select the other saved clip. Shared playback starts from detected address and advances by elapsed time. Different tempos can reach the top or impact at different times, so verify the phase shown in each panel. Use the same club and camera setup where possible.
The comparison guide shows the controls and common mismatches.
6. Keep the observation with the evidence
Tag the club, save a voice note with the question, and choose Save Photo or Save Video to export an annotated result. Inspect the saved file before sharing it. Keep observations separate from explanations: “the head is left of the circle at impact in this view” says what you saw; it does not establish why it happened or whether a change is needed.

When to record again or ask a coach
Record again if the camera moves, the club is cropped, or blur hides the checkpoint. Ask a qualified instructor when you need interpretation or a practice plan. SwingDraw provides frame review, overlays, drawing, comparison, notes, and exports; it does not grade the swing, prescribe drills, or measure club speed, spin, or carry.
