Golf Swing Analysis System Standard and Professional computer applications can be divided into Work and Play areas. Work is "putting together" the swing analysis and Play is "presenting" it. The following is a description of both program's major components, with additional features noted for the Professional version.

Head/Spine - Head circle and spine line superimposed over images. 
Hips/Knees - Hips lines and knee markers placed over swing pictures. 
Tempo - Timing automatically computed throughout swing.
Tracking - Marks clubhead at and draws lines between Key Positions.
Speed - Clubhead speed is figured and displayed at key points during the swing.
Custom - Individual composite images can be constructed, imported and saved.

Rear Swing Analysis Sections
Basic - 12 Key Position Pictures (background for other sections) 
Alignment - Variety of lines over body and clubshaft.
Head/Spine - Head circle and spine line superimposed over images. 
Plane - Diagonal line monitors swing plane throughout swing. 
Tempo - Timing automatically computed throughout swing.

Custom - Individual composite images can be constructed, imported and saved.

Graphics Work
Contains pre-built graphics and other items which are used to assemble composite swing pictures. Position lines, circles, etc. over individual and Quick Video swing pictures. Play Quick Video at various slow motion speeds and locate specific swing points many different ways using the keyboard or mouse.
(Professional) Hold/Work on 4 separate, Direct Capture or other digitized videos.
(Professional) Voice-record/play Quick Comment attached to the displayed video.  
(Professional) Merge, save video with overlaid graphics.

Timing
Computes timing information for each Key Position from Address through Impact and displays a numerical readout of the time elapsed for each swing segment, as well as, backswing, downswing and total time. It also converts this data into each segment's percentage of the total time and percentage of the backswing/or downswing. This information is conveniently summarized in a graph. A "Rhythm Ratio," based upon backswing/downswing times, is also displayed. 

Clubhead Speed (Side Swing Only)
Calculates primary (downswing) and secondary (backswing) clubhead speeds at various points before, at, and after Impact and during the backswing. It displays a miles-per-hour numerical readout. This information is also summarized in a graph. Load Data is computed: downswing time, Impact miles-per-hour and acceleration are shown. 

Measuring
Calculates angles automatically and updates degree-readout displays simply by moving pre-built angle line-pair elements. Measure distances by dragging-and-dropping line end-points over the span you want to measure. (Professional) Quick miles-per-hour measuring. Launch section utilizes special procedures for determining impact ball launch angle and ball speed.


Printing
"Drag-and-drop" setup using one of 6 pre-formatted layouts.
