V1 Golf review

It’s only a few months until golf season begins, and you still have to perfect your golf swing. What to do, what to do… One option is to grab Interactive Frontier’s V1 Golf, a golf swing analysis application that will allow you to compare golf swings side-by-side with those of top Tour professionals. Seeing the proper mechanics in slow motion can make a great deal of difference, since our perception of our swings can differ greatly from the reality. Here is a list of features this app will provide:

– Record, Trim, and Playback your swing
– Analyze in slow motion, frame-by-frame
– Unique analysis tools, including zoom and pan
– Compare your swing Side-by-Side with top PGA Tour Pros
– Overlay swings transparently on top of one another
– Flip, mirror swings to compensate for right, left handed players
– Bonus Tips and Video Drills to help you with your game
– Access to Library of High-Resolution Tour Pro swings shot at 300 Frames per second
– Create a V1 Golf Academy locker to save, exchange video
– Receive/View Lessons created by your V1 Pro Instructor
– Record live video with the iPhone 3GS (3G and Touch cannot record video)

Visual aids are helpful in many cases, especially in in the arena of sports. As you can see from the list above, V1 Golf is chock-full of useful features: not only do you get to analyze yourself, but you can do it in relation to how it should be done. (Unfortunately, video recording is only compatible with the 3GS; the iPod Touch and iPhone 3G will be missing this function.) If you’re really serious about improving your golf skills, this $9.99 just might be worth it; otherwise, just stick to the driving range and have fun there.
