Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about SwingCheck.

What is SwingCheck?

If you've been searching for a golf swing analysis tool that actually gives you a straight answer — we built SwingCheck for exactly that. Upload a face-on video of your 7 iron swing and you'll get a clear diagnosis and a drill to fix your main issue. No fluff, no guesswork.

How does SwingCheck analyze my golf swing?

You might be wondering how an app can actually read a golf swing. SwingCheck compares your swing to proven fundamentals and structured swing rules — body position, motion, key checkpoints — to find your main fault. Then it tells you exactly what to work on.

What is the best way to film a golf swing for analysis?

The best golf swing videos we see all have one thing in common. Face-on, full body in frame, one complete swing, steady camera, good lighting. That setup gives SwingCheck the clearest picture of what's actually happening. If you want a more complete breakdown, additional angles like down-the-line can unlock deeper analysis in advanced reports.

What does face-on golf swing mean?

A lot of people film from behind or at an angle and wonder why the analysis is off. Face-on means the camera is directly in front of you, facing your chest. Not down the line, not from behind. That's what SwingCheck needs to do its job properly.

What club should I use for swing analysis?

Short answer — 7 iron, every time. It sits in the middle of your bag, avoids the extremes of drivers and wedges, and shows your natural swing pattern better than anything else in your bag.

Why do you use a 7 iron?

We get this question a lot. We use a 7 iron because it gives the most balanced and consistent view of your swing. Drivers and wedges both introduce variables that make analysis harder. The 7 iron cuts through all of that.

What makes a valid golf swing video?

If your video gets rejected, it usually comes down to one of the following. Your video must show a full swing from setup to follow through, filmed face on, with your full body visible at all times. The club and ball must be clearly in frame, the camera must be stable, and the lighting must be good. It should be recorded on a working device like a phone or camera and uploaded in a supported format such as MP4 or MOV. Meet these and you’ll get the best results.

Why was my golf swing video rejected?

The most common reasons we see — not face-on, body cut off, unclear swing, or an edited clip. Fix whichever applies and upload again. SwingCheck needs a clean look at your full swing to give you an accurate read.

What do I get with a free golf swing analysis?

Free gets you one detected fault and one drill to fix it. It's a real diagnosis, not a teaser. If there's a clear fault in your swing, we'll find it and give you something actionable to work on.

What do I get with a paid swing analysis?

If you want the full picture, a paid scan gives you a complete swing breakdown, multiple fault areas when detectable, up to three drills, and practice guidance. Everything you need to actually go fix it.

How do scan packs work?

Simple. Buy a pack of 5, 10, or 20 scans. Each upload uses one scan. Come back after a few practice sessions, upload again, and track whether things are actually improving.

Do SwingCheck scans expire?

No. Your scans stay available until you use them, subject to service availability.

How accurate is golf swing analysis with SwingCheck?

It relies heavily on a proper video. When the setup is right, you’ll get a direct read on what’s most likely holding your swing back and how to fix it, if anything. It’s built on proven fundamentals and clear swing rules.

Can SwingCheck fix my golf swing?

SwingCheck helps you identify potential areas of improvement. It finds the likely fault and gives you the drill. The fixing part is true to the game of golf, it's on you.

Is SwingCheck better than a golf coach?

A real coaching session is still the best way to improve your game long term. SwingCheck helps you get clarity faster so you can focus on what actually needs work.

Is my golf swing data safe?

Yes. Your data is stored securely using Supabase. We do not sell your personal data or use it for advertising. We may use anonymized and aggregated data to improve the product and develop insights. It’s your data.

What happens to my uploaded swing video?

Your video is processed to extract swing data and generate your report. We may store video frames and analysis results to improve the product over time. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Can I delete my swing data?

Yes. Email us at privacy@swingcheck.ca and we'll take care of it within a reasonable timeframe.

What if the drills don't work?

Give them a real shot over a few sessions. If nothing is changing, the issue may be more complex than one drill can fix — that's when a coach becomes worth it. SwingCheck gets you pointed in the right direction.

Can I upload multiple swings in one video?

No — one clean swing per upload. It gives SwingCheck the clearest possible read and you'll get a more accurate result.

What devices should I use to record my swing?

Your phone is all you need. A tripod helps keep things steady but isn't required. Just make sure you've got good light and your full body is in frame.
