Safety
Swing safely with CoachAlgo
Even a short session means real golf swings. Before every session, check your space, the people around you, and any facility rules.
Last updated November 11, 2026
Before every swing
- Clear everything your club can reach during the swing, and the whole hitting line.
- Keep every person behind and outside the hitting area. Never swing while someone is collecting a ball or marker.
- Use stable footing, suitable shoes, and a club the player can control.
- Warm up gently. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness, numbness, or unusual discomfort.
- A younger player should ask a responsible adult to check the setup and stay nearby.
Simulator at home
The simulator does not need a ball. Indoors, use a short club, a swing trainer, or a half swing unless the room is designed for full golf swings. Move breakable objects, pets, and people out of the swing radius, and check ceiling height before the first swing. Never swing toward the phone.
At a range or practice green
Use only marked hitting bays and practice areas. Follow posted rules and staff instructions. Keep clubs, tripods, bags, and markers out of walkways. When chipping, check that the landing area is clear before every shot.
Phone placement
Use a stable tripod or secure support. Keep the phone, and anyone helping you, away from the club’s path and the hitting line. Do not ask someone to hold a phone near an active swing. Avoid placing a device where another player could strike or trip over it.
Analysis limits
Swing analysis is based on two-dimensional (2D) estimates of body position, and it is not medical or biomechanical advice. It does not measure the clubface, force, injury risk, or true three-dimensional motion. In the simulator, a ball the camera can see gives an estimate of its speed, launch, and direction. That estimate is less precise than a dedicated launch monitor, and without a visible ball the shot is estimated from body motion. A low-confidence result means the camera could not read enough of the body or the ball; it does not mean the player performed poorly.
Emergencies and medical questions
CoachAlgo cannot respond to emergencies. Contact local emergency services for urgent help. Ask a qualified medical professional about pain, injury, rehabilitation, or whether an activity is appropriate for a health condition.
