Standard or Professional

Which Golf Swing Analysis System computer software program is right for you?

Quick Summary

Great features, functions and value. 

Choose the Standard version if you want a low-cost, multi-feature, swing analysis program that can be used on virtually all desktop or laptop computers and Windows operating systems. It can also run on a Macintosh computer with Virtual PC or similar Windows' emulation software. Video and graphics place great demands on your computer system and this version was specially-designed to perform well, even on older computers. There are no technical or compatibility issues, partly because this application works independently of the video capturing process. You utilize your capture device's software to capture and save the swing as a standard .AVI video file, then load this file and analyze the swing within the Golf Swing Analysis System program.

Includes all Standard features, plus custom-integrated Video Capturing software, 60 FPS (high speed video), High-Resolution images and Quick Analysis functions. 

Select the Professional version if you're looking for an affordable, fast, high-level swing analysis program. Video capturing, high-speed 60 FPS video, and other special features make it the one to choose for quick, real-time and comprehensive swing analysis. Video Capture Tool is configured specifically for digitizing and preparing the golf swing for analysis. With "one-click" capture live or pre-recorded video and begin analyzing the swing within seconds. Because the program generates twice the data and larger images, it requires the user to have a more powerful computer system.
