Why am I hitting fat shots?
A fat shot happens when the club hits the ground too early. It can feel like a simple contact problem, but the cause might be setup, low-point control, weight shift, or trying to lift the ball.
Most AI swing analysis sees the swing. SwingIQ helps the AI understand the golfer first.
First Attempts
What golfers often try first.
- Moving the ball back
- Swinging harder
- Trying to scoop the ball
- Taking less club and hoping for clean contact
Generic Advice
Why quick tips often fail.
Generic advice often says 'hit ball first' without explaining what changed in your setup, pressure, or swing shape.
Golfer Context
The same miss can need different priorities.
A golfer who rarely practices may need a simple low-point drill, while a more advanced player may need to connect divot pattern to ball flight.
SwingIQ
How SwingIQ works.
SwingIQ gathers your miss pattern, practice time, practice environment, and goals so your AI prompt can ask for contact feedback that matches your game.
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.
Are fat shots always caused by looking up?
No. Looking up is rarely the full answer. Low point, pressure shift, setup, and release pattern matter more.
Can SwingIQ tell me the exact cause?
SwingIQ does not diagnose directly. It creates a better prompt so your chosen AI assistant has context when reviewing your swing media.
