Break 80
How to break 80 by tightening your pattern.
Breaking 80 is less about one magic move and more about controlling misses. You need playable tee shots, reliable approach patterns, and fewer unforced errors.
Most AI swing analysis sees the swing. SwingIQ helps the AI understand the golfer first.
First Attempts
What golfers often try first.

Generic Advice
Why quick tips often fail.
Low-80s golfers often receive beginner advice that is too vague or elite advice that is too complex.
Golfer Context
The same miss can need different priorities.
The right recommendation should know your handicap range, typical miss, driver carry, available practice time, and whether scoring or swing control is the priority.
SwingIQ
How SwingIQ works.
SwingIQ helps your AI assistant understand the golfer first, so the feedback can prioritize the changes most likely to affect your score.
SwingIQ does not directly analyze video in the MVP. It creates a personalized AI swing-analysis prompt based on your assessment answers, then you use that prompt with your preferred AI assistant and swing video or images.

A few honest answers.
SwingIQ is an educational context tool. It does not guarantee results, replace lessons, or evaluate pain, injuries, or medical concerns.
Do I need more distance to break 80?
Distance helps, but tighter misses, smarter targets, and better wedge/putting control often matter just as much.
Can AI help an advanced golfer?
AI can help organize observations and practice plans when given strong context. SwingIQ helps build that context.
