If you have purchased a subscription to Swing Profile, and it is not showing up, please do the following;

• Ensure you have a working internet connection as Swing Profile authenticates subscriptions online
• Open Swing Profile app, and navigate to Menu and then User Profile
• In the User Profile dialog, click on the box showing the current subscription.

This should update your account to its proper status. You may need to click on the current subscription box multiple times.

If you are still having trouble with your subscription, please contact us at info@swingprofile.com.

In the Swings view, select the video you want to adjust and tap Analyze.  From here, tap on Tools then Fine Tune (iPad users need only tap Fine Tune) and you will have access to all the tools for adjustment.

• To adjust the reference lines, simply grab the ends of the green reference lines and place them at the desired locations
• To adjust the key positions, simply click on the position to want to adjust, and align it using the frame stepping buttons (1 or 5 at a time)

Impact Sound Trigger uses the sound generated by hitting the golf ball to confirm a swing capture.  If you are actually hitting golf balls, then using Impact Sound Trigger will increase the detection accuracy, eliminating practice swings when recording.  

Turn this feature on/off in the Capture view under Settings (the gear-looking icon).  This feature is turned off by default, and is indicated by a sound icon in the capture screen.

In the Capture view, tap on the current frame rate setting (FPS) then select Capped at 240 fps.  Swing Profile will then choose highest possible frame rate for your device (see Hardware and Software Requirements).  The highest frame rate achievable by Swing Profile is 240 fps on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+.

Note that recording at high frame rate requires slightly longer wait time to write the video file after capture (a few seconds more) and larger storage space for the video.

Elite is for golf students and advanced golfers. Advanced features include self-training, communication with coaches and team, cloud storage for video saving and transfer.

Coach is for busy golf coaches who need an efficient tool to communicate with their students and market their brand.  Advanced features include logo branding, recording voiceover lessons, and large cloud storage.

For more information regarding the two subscription types, check out our plans here.

Because Swing Profile processes live video very quickly, it is important to try and minimize any external disturbances during the video capture of a swing. The following list details the optimal settings while using Swing Profile Auto Capture;

• Open, distant backgrounds – avoid moving objects, cluttered or close-range backgrounds
• Keep clothes plain – ideally light top and dark pants
• Smooth, swift and continuous swings
• Hold device with both hands or use a mobile holder to avoid shaking
• Ensure that the subject is well lit by changing positioning or using the brightness slider on the Capture view. Outdoor overcast tend to produce the best results

More detailed information regarding each specific requirement can be found in the Troubleshooting Auto Capture.

Swing Profile allows users to share their recorded swings on various social media platforms. To do this;

• In the Swings view, select a swing you would like to share.
• Tap Share, then select Share on social network and pick the form of social media from the following prompt.

Note that when you first log in to a social media service on your device, this services is usually automatically added to the share list for Swing Profile. If your desired social media platform is not available, please contact us at info@swingprofile.com.

Auto Capture fails occasionally and I am getting some false detections

Swing Profile operates solely on video and is dependent on image quality (lighting, shadows, contrast, clothing). Random movements in foreground and background could be falsely detected as swings. Please follow the simple rules below for optimal performance:

• Hold camera steadily with both hands to avoid shaky images. When filming your own swing, use a phone or tablet holder for stability.

• Fit golfer to grid by shooting approximately 7 feet away for portrait mode and 10 feet away for landscape mode. Position golfer close to the head and feet line. Over- or under-fitting will deteriorate detection performance.

• Avoid moving objects in the background and cluttered backgrounds. These include moving branches and unwieldy clothing (such as scarfs) on a windy day, moving people at a party or moving cars near a busy road in the background.

• Keep clothing plain, ideally with light top and dark pants. Large stripes and patterns cause optical illusions and should be avoided.

• Avoid strong sunlight from behind golfer which darkens the image and casts a long shadow. Remedy this by turning golfer towards the sun (and swinging without a ball if necessary).

• Use exposure adjustment to reduce backlight problems common in driving ranges. Tap on any dark area to brighten.

• Swing smooth and swift. Slow back swings are easily confused as practice swings.

• Avoid placing your driving net too closely as the net makes large background movement upon receiving the ball. Remedy by doing practice swing without hitting the ball.

• Ensure sufficient gray level contrast between the golfer’s clothing and background. Certain clothing color such as light gray and light orange are easily “camouflaged“ against green fairway and may cause non-detection.

For best results, ensure that you try and record your swings by using the conditions outlined here.

Capturing Your Own Golf Swings

Auto Capture is ideal for recording your own practice session. No matter how many golf swings you make, Swing Profile will only record only those critical 2-seconds swing motion. You can then easily use Auto Sync to synchronize and compare the swing video of different strokes, say between iron and wood. And visualize swing sequences over multiple videos to monitor consistency

1) You need a reliable phone or table holder to hold your device on a golf bag or a tripod.

2) We need a reference object that helps to position the phone or tablet correctly. Lay down a club between the ball and center of your stance for down-the-line view, or across your feet for front view. And then position the device so that the club fits inside the bottom bracket of the grid. Experiment to find the best position for capturing your golf swing.

3) Tap the Capture icon to start recording. When a swing is captured, you’ll notice (a) a double ping sound, (b) the borders turning red and (c) the swing sequence shows briefly.

NOTE if you are filming with the front camera, you can see the borders turning red and flashing when a swing is captured.

Capturing Someone Else’s Golf Swings

1) Apply back camera. Stand about 10 feet away from golfer for landscape mode, or 7 feet away for portrait mode.

2) Tap the Capture icon to start recording. Ensure that the subjects head and feet are within the designated areas. Keep hands steady. Swing Profile will be ready once the golfer resumes the address position with a short pause – this is indicated with a green border. Now perform the golf swing.

3) When a swing is captured, you’ll notice you’ll notice (a) a double ping sound, (b) the borders turning red and (c) the swing sequence shows briefly. Tap on the sequence, or the preview image to view the captured video immediately.

Always ensure they you try and record your swings using the optimal settings for Auto Capture FAQ.

Overview of the 5a Technology

Swing Profile is the fastest golf analyzer in the world. With advanced Artificial Intelligence, it automates many cumbersome tasks for golf analysis and provides golfers instant feedback on their golf swings. Swing Profile features the following 5 automations (5a):

• Auto Capture – detect and record swing motion only
• Auto Trim – keep only the raw swing motion by trimming away redundant footage
• Auto Sequence – create Golf Digest-style swing sequence
• Auto Line – draw swing plane and measure club angle
• Auto Sync – synchronize two different swings regardless of speed difference

Swing Profile operates on live video and does not require any cumbersome sensors attached to the golfer or the club. As Swing Profile automatically detects and records your swing, you can place your device on a holder and film your own swing without anyone handling the camera. It can work on two camera angles: down-the-line view (DTL, player’s side profile view) and the front view (player’s front view).
