In this video i review an online swing analysis app, 18Birdies. for online coaching enquiries, please email me at: jcrocker44@googlemail.com social medias: instagram-@crockergolf facebook-jamiecrockergolf twitter-jamiecrockergolf
It gives you the number 1 thing to work on as the most important on the first page. Then go to the drill page and it will give you more than one thing. I like the app. I finally figured out how to view all of my drills and I have one swing that has 7 things wrong. I haven’t played for 3 years so it has really helped me get back to my decent swing when I was shooting scratch golf. If you are more knowledgeable about yourself and your swing it tends to be more beneficial.
You didn’t spend time with the swing analyzer because you can clearly see in the video that there were 5 other things it suggested she needs to work on that you didn’t bother mentioning. Now that’s not to say it’s quality information, but I don’t think you have it a fair shake.
There were 5 different ways to practice but there weren’t 5 different swing changes to work on?😂 you CANNOT improve someone’s golf without seeing the ball flight
@@jamiecrockergolf I disagree. So your telling me if someone has horrible form and swing you cannot improve their game without seeing the ball flight? The point of golf isn't to hit the ball, its to swing through it. If you have great form and swing, the ball flight will be there
Jay Moo you improve someone’s swing the best way possible by watching their ball flight and then understanding what they must be doing within their swing to cause that ball flight. Whether that be a slice, pull, block or thin.
Jay Moo I agree. The app also will take a face video and watch hip rotation, Sway, head movement, club head angle, steepness of club head. It Does a lot more than just one swing analysis. I do have quite a bit of golf experience so maybe I pick up on things better but I love the app. I paid for it though so maybe it has changed?
I have to completely disagree with you. I've been using this app and swing thing for over a week now. Started out with a 7.5 swing ( i play off 11). I have been working on all the drills they have given me on a daily basis and have slowly been making my score go up on a daily bases and highest i have scored is 9.9 and now i average over 9.0 on most of my shots. Now i'm doing the same as you just hitting the balls into a net but I can tell you right now i have never had such a smooth consistent swing. I am hitting the ball out of the middle way more consistently and Working on my tempo and grip pressure was a massive thing for me. I have always fallen forward after a shot and have been told over and over again about my balance but was never shown how to fix it. Now i feel like I'm completely balanced after doing the drills. This app may not show you ball flight etc but I feel as though its working for me to at least get the fundamentals right. The only thing i don't like is it compares you to a guy who is obviously quite fit and flexible. I'm 6 ft 3 and have a bit of a gut. But in saying that i think this app is perfect for the guys/girls who are currently sitting at home bored out of there brain. It's not going to be able to fix your swing 100% to pure perfection but it does give you the basic drills to show you how you should be hitting the ball. You should be Well balanced...Have a good tempo and grip pressure....and have a nice ball strike. I'll come back and reply after i've had a round out on a course and let you know how it went on the course.
Travis Hines appreciate your response. Everyone has different opinions! My opinion is that what the ball does is the most important thing. The swing can look and feel nice, but if the ball isn’t going where it needs to be, it’s pointless. This app is okay, but in my opinion I feel like it can’t make a golfer better unless the ball flight is improving. Swing scores mean nothing. Look at Jim Furyk, Matt Wolff etc...players that don’t swing it pretty but get the job done. A 1 on 1 coach will always be better 👍
@@jamiecrockergolf i 100% agree with you there. You can have a ugly ass swing but if you can hit it straight and score well who cares. I have been struggling a lot with hitting greens lately so if this works i should be able to notice a decent difference and as i said above I'm not going to know if it has worked or even helped until i take it out to a course and give it a try. I may be playing today but i'm defiantly getting out Sunday morning (today is Wednesday)
So i got to play today. I beat my handicap by 4 shots and have never hit the ball so well with my irons. My 4 iron that normally goes big fade right were just pumped down the middle. My wedge game was on point. I felt like i was hitting the ball half the speed i use to yet im still hitting the same distance. Sorry to say mate but that is one of the. best games ive played in 4 years. Was it luck? ill let you know after i play again on sunday.
I’m surprised he said coaching is all about improving ball flight, not making the swing technically sound. This is not true. The best way to make ball flight better long term is to improve the mechanics of the swing. Yes there is a personalized element as well absolutely but swing fundamentals are key.
I downloaded the app before Xmas, just used it for the gps. I don’t have a rangefinder, I knocked off 20+ shots a round just by knowing what distance I had left and how far I was hitting each club. Good for keeping scores instead of writing on a card. Haven’t tried it for anything else.
Jamie Crocker Golf, glad I never tried it, my swing is bad enough without dodgy advice from an app, I have been playing on and of, more off than on, for 20+ years only really started playing again last September after RU-vid recommended a certain mr sheils for some reason, came across yourself when you did a vlog of West Cornwall, never played there but did a bit of caddying there for a bit of cash in my teens (my father and stepmother ran the clubhouse in the mid eighties) and used to go up the second 18 with the pros son. It was my first taste of golf and where my love hate relationship with the game started. Keep the content coming, good to see a Cornish Chanel
I have noticed on some of my swings my spine stays straight but my shirt moves a bit so it thinks my spine has moved. when i tucked my shirt in tight it seemed to get a better read.
I haven't used this app at all... But i think it might say I have a problem with my spine angle 🤪 Or maybe I might get 10/10 because I don't think your Mrs deserved over 5 😁 (sorry Megan) 👍
Jamie Crocker Golf I do love the app, not that specific portion though! 😂 although the analysis isn’t good, I believe if you know what you struggle with, it could be a great help to have specific drills from the same coach.
