Daily loop

One visible issue, one cue, one drill, one retake.

GolfSnap Coach is not trying to replace a real instructor. It is testing whether an iPhone can help beginners practice between lessons by reading simple visible evidence from photos and short videos.

The product intentionally avoids unsupported claims about pressure shift, club path, or contact when the media cannot prove them. Advice starts from what the camera can actually show.

1

Capture useful angles

Down-the-line and face-on guides help beginners record footage that can be interpreted.

2

Explain the evidence

The app shows the visible body-position clue before giving a diagnosis or practice cue.

3

Retake after the drill

The loop measures whether the next attempt looks cleaner, not whether a dashboard got busier.

Honest status

Useful prototype, unproven coach.

The next milestone is proof, not more features. GolfSnap Coach needs beginner golfer clips and instructor review before it can claim coaching accuracy.
