SmartSwing Visualizer allows golfers of all skill levels to easily spot potential areas of improvement by providing an intuitive visual comparison of their swing (yellow club) compared to a reference or known good swing (grey club). Any swing may be viewed from three different camera angles.
Use SmartSwing Global Analytics to rapidly diagnose the health of key areas of your swing: - TempoMeter: How well is your swing grooved? How close are you to the recommended 3:1 backswing/downswing ratio of most top golfers?
- Quality of Release: When are you achieving maximum club head speed? What is the power/distance loss resulting from an early release?
- Quality of Swing: How close are you to your ideal, on-plane, swing path? What are the key trouble segments of your swing?
LeaderBoard Global Analytics — TempoMeter, Quality of Release, and Quality of Swing — provide a quick score of the selected swing. Color coded charts allow for the rapid identification of good swing habits and potential areas for improvement.
Use the zoomed in target line camera view to easily visualize and understand where your swing breaks plane (red and blue lines). Single clicks quickly toggle features in the camera view, such as the reference pro (grey figure), plane lines, and swing path lines (yellow and grey lines).  Turn off Reference Pro
Turn on ProUse the zoomed in top-down camera view to easily visualize and understand your release timing (point of maximum club head speed designated by the white triangles on the display) and angle of incidence (inside-out or outside-in swing path at impact).
With a simple mouse click, zoom in on any camera view to analyze swing path, club position, club face orientation, and release position in additional detail.
Use SmartSwing Analyzer to get detailed and deep analytics of critical aspects of your swing: - Swing analytics such as club head release timing, angle of attack, and more
- Distance analytics such as ball flight distance, escape velocity and more
- Club position analytics such as shaft angle and lean
Work through a natural learning progression from plane, to distance, and finally consistency. |

 "One such memorable device is SmartSwing. A seven-inch piece of circuitry inserted into the grip of a driver or iron provides instant wireless computer analysis of launch angle, ball flight, degree of clubhead lag, release timing and other mid-swing positions. In short, it does for golf clubs what on-board diagnostics does for NASCAR race cars."

Front Side Field Test
 Get This!"Behold the new SmartSwing Driver. The wireless, 420-cc club talks to you (sort of), thanks to movement-sensing circuits and tiny gyroscopes inserted in the shaft. Simply smack a few balls, then download the data onto your PC or laptop. Your simulated move appears juxtaposed with an ideal animated swing, and you get instant feedback on launch angle, ball flight, clubhead speed and clubhead lag. After seeing his flat backswing in pixel form, our tester made a more upright move and turned the mother of all hooks into a drum-tight draw."

Training Aid: SmartSwing
 SmartSwing, an Austin, Texas-based technology company, bills its Intelligent Clubs as being more than training aids. Essentially, they're computer-savvy clubs with built-in shaft circuitry that tracks and records the perpetual position of the club during the swing. The information can then be wirelessly transferred to a PC, which generates a visual representation of the swing that can be compared to a reference swing that's been mathematically calculated based on swings of golf's all-time greats. It automatically scales to the individual's specific physical dimensions to provide a goal to strive towards with each swing. Intelligent Clubs make sense for an instructor who wants to show students — and quantify — all aspects of their swings, including clubface orientation, release timing, tempo, clubhead speed, lag and acceleration. The end result is that students should be able to improve their ball striking, distance and consistency. The circuitry can be built right into most sets for $699, or the company can build a set of Teaching Pro Series clubs for members of its Affiliated TEaching Pro program. By the way, the circuitry does not affect the club's performance, claims the company. Renowned PGA teaching professional Chuck Cook (1996 Teacher of the Year) recently signed on as product advisor and vowed to use the Intelligent Clubs in his teaching regimen in his academies at Dallas National Golf Club and Barton Creek Resort and Club in Austin.
How Science Can Improve Your Golf Game
Your Club Is Watching Swing-analysis software has joined forces with high-tech equipment to take swing improvement one step further. One pioneer in the area, SmartSwing, recently completed a deal with Interactive Frontiers in which V1 software is used to process and analyze data downloaded from SmartSwing's "intelligent golf club." What exactly is a smart golf club? Simply put, circuitry embedded in the clubs — specifically, infrared trackers, gyroscopes and accelerometers — allows the software to track swings from backswing to follow-through. The club's memory stores information on as many as 100 swings, which it sends wirelessly to your PC for processing by V1's or SmartSwing's own software. The software can then spit back a range of statistics, from club-head speed to tempo; compare your swing to a reference swing; and offer tips to correct mistakes. For instance, it can tell whether your tempo is too fast or your release too early. SmartSwing offers a driver, a three wood and a six iron — all ranging in price from $650 to $800 — and will soon come out with a putter. In addition, says SmartSwing's Mr. Hackney, outfitters given detailed information by the company can embed the circuitry in your own clubs. "You can imagine this kind of sensor-rich equipment with a lot of applications in a wide range of sports," says Mr. Hackney, adding that the company currently has no plans to expand the technology. "Pretty much anything can be wired."

GOLF Getting In The Right Groove "In golf, the key to a perfect shot is making sure you swing your club on the proper arc. Now a high-tech club can help you determine whether you're in the right groove. The $649 LS100 driver from SmartSwing (smartswinggolf.com) has special gyroscopes and circuitry built into the shaft that track the exact arc of up to 100 swings per round. After you're done, simply download data from the club into your computer via a special USB device and compare your actual swings against the ideal golf stroke."
