SwingSmart Golf Analyzer: Swing Training Aid Puts “GOLF FIRST”

We are golfers first!  We want to use the latest technology in a way to benefit players of all skill levels.

4 Key Numbers plus 3D Swing View Analyze Your Golf Swing

SwingSmart Golf Analyzer is different type of golf swing training aid -- because we’re golfers ourselves.  We don’t want to bury you in stats and graphs about your swing.  (Save that for the scientists.)  We think golfers need less clutter in our minds when practicing or playing.

We present objective information on key metrics of the golf swing that will help you improve on-course performance:  Swing Tempo, Swing Speed, Face Angle, and Angle of Attack.

Don’t want to look at numbers?  Then just look at your golf swing on the 3D Swing View.  Our golf swing training aid philosophy is simple:  we bring cutting-edge technology to timeless golf instruction to help you become the best golfer that you can be with your skills and your swing.

Conceived, Engineered, and Manufactured in the U.S.A.

We support U.S. workers!  The SwingSmart Golf Analyzer is designed, engineered, and assembled in the U.S.A.  Our iPhone and iPad apps are designed by U.S. engineers.   Nothing about our golf swing training aid is off-shored.  

SwingSmart Golf Analyzer is a patent-pending product of NewSpin Golf, LLC, a U.S. technology company that cares about GOLF FIRST.
