Great app with a few caveats

I am actually a former golf instructor so I know a thing or two about the golf swing. This really is a great app for capturing your swing and being able to see an accurate representation of body angles necessary to understand your full range of motion. That being said, take some of the advice with a grain of salt. For example, in my golf swing I have a tendency to slightly straighten my back leg in the backswing; the app says this is a bad move… In reality, this is a move that modern teachers actually teach. A more rigid back leg, being a core principle of instruction in the 90s and early 2000s, actually limits your ability to fully turn in the backswing, and can lead to lower back issues over time.

As long as you don’t take all the advice as gospel truth, this app really is a useful tool. Just take the time to do a little more research on what the app perceives as flaws.

Very cool but needs some work

Overall the design of the app is very cool and the ability to see what is going on in your swing is very helpful. However, unless you are aware of what you are looking for, as far as mistakes go, in your swing, the overall point system and recommendations need some work. For example my swing was 8.6, however (to test the abilities of the app), I put in a video of Tiger Woods hitting an iron shot and it returned a 7.5. As well as a video of Rory which returned a 9.3. As much as I’d like to believe my swing is as good as Tiger’s (and relatively close to Rory’s) I can’t say I’m that delusional. I think if some of the bugs with the algorithm could be fixed for the recommendations that would take the app to the next level but don’t let it take away the fact that the overall analysis provided is a great tool in itself. Considering I’m relatively aware of what a great golf swing looks like, the slo mo analysis provided on my video was very helpful. I’m excited to see where this app goes. If I could give a more detailed rating (other than 4 vs 5 stars) I would personally give it 4.5.

Really great app

I just discovered this app and have been using it on the practice range multiple times per week. It’s been tremendously helpful, and honestly I’ve made some huge improvements from using it.
One possible bug that may need attention, since the most recent update, is that it seems to call out “bad” early extension on nearly every swing, even when the visual replay doesn’t appear to show any. In the early extension section, it does show my spine angle at impact (red line) being steeper than some green line meant to represent where my spine angle had been, but from the replay I don’t see where my spine angle ever matched that green line.
Other than that one odd concern, it’s really been great, and I absolutely plan to keep using it. Thanks!

Developer Response ,

Hello, thank you for your valuable feedback. We will have our development team check for any issues related to early extension. Could you please send your swing video to help@golffix.io for debugging purposes? If possible, it would greatly help us in resolving the issue. Thank you!
