What Is 3D Swing Tracer, and How Do You Use It?

Share:

3D Swing Tracer uses precision sensor data to bring your swing to life in three dimensions — no camera required. It lets you view, compare, and save a 360-degree rendering of your swing path with metrics overlaid.

What 3D Swing Tracer Does

  • Visualizes your swing path in 3D with metrics.
  • Offers Live mode with real-time rendering of the 3D swing.
  • Lets you export videos.
  • Supports comparing two swings side by side.
  • Provides a full 360-degree view of your swing.

3D Swing Tracer videos are stored locally on your device and are only available for swings taken live (in-app, not offline) on that same device.
