How to Compare Your Golf Swing with a Pro Side by Side (Free)

Stop paying for video analysis apps. Load a pro tour swing and your own recorded swing side by side in DualTube — with sync playback, offset control, A-B loop and webcam input.

Paid golf apps like Swing Profile, V1 Golf, and OnForm charge $10–40/month for side-by-side swing comparison. DualTube does the same core job for free: drop two YouTube URLs (or your own uploaded swing reuploaded as unlisted), align impact frames, and loop the takeaway.

Open DualTube
  1. 1

    Upload your swing to YouTube as unlisted

    Record your swing with any phone. Upload to YouTube as "unlisted" — only people with the link can view it. This is free and takes 60 seconds.

  2. 2

    Find a pro swing reference on YouTube

    Search for "Rory McIlroy driver slow motion" or similar. Face-on angle for posture, down-the-line angle for swing plane.

  3. 3

    Load both into DualTube

    Pro swing on the left, your swing on the right. Both load instantly with full playback control.

  4. 4

    Align the impact frames with offset

    Use the offset slider to shift your video until both impacts happen at the same timeline moment. 0.1s precision is enough for swing analysis.

  5. 5

    A-B loop the takeaway and follow-through

    Mark A at address and B at the top of the backswing. Repeat until you can spot the differences in tempo and shoulder turn.

  6. 6

    Drop to 0.25x for frame-level review

    Slow motion reveals wrist hinge, hip rotation, and spine angle. Pause at any frame for detailed comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to upload my swing publicly?

No. Unlisted YouTube uploads are private — only people with the URL can access them. No one will find your swing in search.

How accurate is the sync compared to paid apps?

DualTube offers 0.1s offset precision, which matches most paid video analysis apps. Frame-level scrubbing is available at 0.25x speed.

Can I draw lines on the video like V1 Golf?

Not yet — DualTube focuses on side-by-side playback. For drawing overlays, pair it with a screen annotation tool.

Does this work for other sports?

Yes. Tennis serve, baseball pitch, martial arts kata, swimming stroke — any technique where form matters benefits from side-by-side video comparison.
