This Is a Cheat-Code For Improving Your Swing!

Swing Coach uses 120 frames per second and its own AI models instead of off-the-shelf vision.

The conversation opens with the story behind Swing Coach and why the guest wanted to build the app. He talks about being a tech entrepreneur, starting several companies, and getting back to the early-stage work he enjoys. He also says he had reached the point where he thought he might retire and play more golf. Then he tells the story of a spring when his golf went sideways. He was slicing everything to the right. He came down to work with the hosts and compare his motion to elite players. The first fix helped fast. He played great golf for about eight weeks and even kept it going in Scotland. Then the season turned again and the miss changed into a snap hook. That led to a second round of diagnosis. The hosts and guest start talking through what the app was showing on a face-on view. The guest says his spine was drifting toward the target during the next move. He thought the top of the swing looked fine. The problem was what happened right after that. He links the issue to basketball habits that make him too lateral out of the top. The beta for face-on arrived around the same time as that discussion. He went to the range that afternoon expecting a long grind. Instead, the first change took only a few swings. One measurement moved the way the coach wanted. Another parameter lit up right after it. That made the session feel less like guessing and more like a chain reaction. The hosts keep pushing on the idea that shaft lean is not the thing to chase by itself. They argue that it comes out of a lot of things being done right. The guest agrees and says the app helped make that plain. The episode closes with an update on the app's growth. He says there are about 50,000 apps in the sports category. Swing Coach is already ranked around 76 after five months. He says the app is still just getting started, with tipping, putting, and more on the way. The tone stays practical throughout. It feels like three people comparing notes from the lesson bay and backing it up with what the data actually showed.
