Swing Like a Pro is a golf swing analysis app for the iPhone that utilizes the iPhone’s built-in accelerometer with advanced motion analysis technology. The primary feature of Swing Like a Pro is the recording and analysis of hand position throughout the swing.

Hand position is often very difficult to accurately monitor because the swing occurs so rapidly. Utilizing the iPhone’s accelerometer, Swing Like a Pro collects 100 data points per second on hand speed and position throughout the swing. This data is then used to determine the trajectory of the swing, which is displayed on screen and compared with the reference swing of a golf pro.

By analyzing and adjusting swing trajectory, every golfer can dramatically improve their ball flight path and distance by understanding the swing and working on the areas that need attention. Users can view and analyze their swing speed, acceleration, tempo, back swing and follow-through completion, make adjustments to their swing, and improve their game in real time.

“Swing Like a Pro is an excellent training tool for golfers of all ages and abilities,” said Ken Woods, Head Golf Professional at Pasatiempo Golf Club in Santa Cruz, California. “The app is very user friendly, and provides feedback on the most important parts of the swing, including plane and tempo. I’d recommend Swing Like a Pro to any golfer interested in receiving professional analysis that can immediately be incorporated into their swing.”

Swing Like a Pro is available in the iTunes Store for $9.99, and is compatible with the iPhone 2G, 3G, and 4G, and the iPod Touch. The application currently supports only right-handed players. To purchase Swing Like a Pro, visit the iTunes store at itunes.com/apps/swinglikeapro.
