AI Swing Analysis · In the app

Film it. Read it. Fix it.

Film your swing on your phone and the Scratch Circle app breaks it into six checkpoints, tells you what it found, why it matters, and which drill to work on first.

How it works

See your swing the way a coach does.

Swing analysis lives in the Scratch Circle app, where your swings, history and drills are all in one place.

01

Film your swing

On iPhone, tap Record in the app: it films at your phone’s fastest frame rate, with sound. Or upload a video you already have. Choose full swing, chip or putt, and a face-on or down-the-line angle.

02

Let the app read it

The app finds your key positions in the video and checks each one. Your tempo is measured from the path of your hands, and shown only when the hands confirm the swing.

03

Fix the one thing

Get Your Focus: the one thing to fix first, with the drill that matches it. Turn it into a 2-week plan, then film again to check.

Filming tips

Five things that make the biggest difference.

  • Phone upright, on a tripod — prop it against a bag if you have to, then leave it alone. No panning or zooming. Upright keeps you tall in the picture so the app can follow your hands.
  • Whole body and club in frame — 6–12 feet away, waist height, with room above your head for the club at the top of the backswing.
  • Light behind the camera — if the sun is behind you, you come out as a silhouette and the app cannot see your posture.
  • One swing, from a still address — press record, step into place, stand still for a second, then swing and hold your finish. Keep the sound on: the sound of the strike helps find impact.
  • More frames, clearer impact — use Record in the app on iPhone, or your camera’s Slow-Mo mode and upload the original. A slow-mo video that was shared or exported is often flattened back to normal speed.

What you get

Six checkpoints. One clear picture.

  • Six checkpoints — Address, Takeaway, Top of backswing, Transition, Impact and Follow-through, with a confidence level for each.
  • Coaching you can act on — what the AI saw, why it matters, and recommended drills from the app’s 117-drill library.
  • Honest about its limits — if something is hard to judge from your camera angle, or the hands cannot be followed, the app says so instead of guessing.
  • Manual Checkpoints — if the AI can’t find a position, scrub your own video and mark the frames yourself.
  • Swing History and Compare — every analysis is saved so you can look back and put two swings side by side.

Face-on

Filmed from in front. Shows posture, spine angle and balance most clearly.

Down-the-line

Filmed from behind, aligned with your target. Shows swing path and plane most clearly.

Full swing, chip or putt

Choose the shot type before you upload so the checkpoints and coaching fit the shot.

After the analysis

A plan for the one thing that matters.

When a swing shows something worth fixing, the app offers a 2-week Focus Plan. It never asks you to fix everything at once: other findings wait their turn.

Short sessions

Two to four a week, you choose. Each is about 25 minutes and 40 to 45 balls: a warm-up, the drill, then hitting balls with the new feel.

A check each week

On the last session of the week, hit 5 balls on the Launch Monitor or film your swing. Only a film check can clear your Focus, and it takes two good ones in a row.

If it is not fixed yet

The plan adds up to two more weeks with a different drill, then suggests a coach take a look. It tells you so instead of pretending it worked.

Reminders

The app can remind you on the days you pick. Reminders are set on your phone, so they need the installed app, not the web version.

Week 1 is free on every plan, including your first film check. Weeks 2 and on come with Birdie and up.

Guidance, not a lesson. The AI gives you a consistent, honest read of your swing and a place to start. Results depend on how well the swing is filmed, and it doesn’t replace a coach who can see you in person. Your video is processed on our servers, and frames from your swing are analysed by a third-party AI provider to write your feedback. See our privacy policy.
