BirdieBaller
Coach like a baller.
BirdieBaller is the coaching app I built for my own lesson tee. I film your swing, measure it in 3D from a phone, talk you through it with my own voice-overs, and send a lesson report straight to your phone.
Why I built it
The lesson shouldn't end when you leave the tee.
I've been teaching since 2003. Somewhere past fifteen thousand lessons, I noticed the same thing kept happening. A student leaves feeling great. A week later the feel is gone. The video is somewhere on their phone, my notes are in another app, and the numbers stayed on the radar screen.
What you need is the one or two swing thoughts that matter, and proof that they're working. So my brother Ben and I built BirdieBaller: record the swing, see what the body is really doing, write the note while it's fresh, and keep it all in one place you can come back to between lessons.
Nothing reaches you until I've checked it, and every report carries my name.

01
Record
Swings filmed at 240 fps, face-on and down-the-line.

Each swing becomes 3D body data: hip and shoulder turn, sequence, sway and tempo.

Coach
I draw on stills, add notes, and record voice-overs talking you through the swing.
04
Send
A lesson report and my voice-overs land on your phone, ready to review before your next round.
