Quickly improve your golf swing

This accessible introduction to golf science will transform understanding of coaching instruction and golf mechanics for everyone.

Missing Pieces of the Puzzle

Informing you ‘how’ to sequence correctly, not telling you ‘what’ positions you should be in.

Secrets of the Tour Players

Secrets from ‘force plate’ study and academic research of elite players and tour professionals.

Activate Your Body Correctly

What you are being asked of by your coach may not be possible, learn why this is the case.

Use Physics to Your Advantage

Access fully the power & distance at your disposal, without additional effort.

Simplify Swing Mechanics

Remove the unnecessary and introduce ‘added simplicity’.

Create Efficiency & Power

Maximize everyone’s existing physical potential; efficiency equals distance.

AI-Powered Coaching Tool

Your AI Biomechanics Lab

SwingTrace AI Pro brings laboratory-grade swing analysis to any coaching session. Upload a face-on swing video and our computer vision engine tracks every joint from setup to impact — then runs a full physics simulation to calculate forces, torques, and efficiency metrics. The AI delivers a complete data-driven summary with actionable coaching recommendations.

SwingTrace AI Pro dashboard showing joint tracking, ground reaction forces, velocity curves, and lag analysis from P1 to P7
  • Full Joint Tracking — Setup to Impact Computer-vision pose estimation at every position from P1 through P7, with frame-by-frame kinematic data
  • X-Factor, Shear, Sway & Lag Analysis Measures hip-torso separation, lateral shear, head and hip sway, and club lag through the downswing sequence
  • AI-Powered Coaching Report Complete data analysis with a personalised AI summary and targeted recommendations for coaches and players to build improvement plans
