FAQs

How does Swingpal.com work?

We've made taking a golf lesson easy and affordable. Simply upload your swing videos, pick an instructor, start a lesson and describe your problem. Within 24 hours, your instructor will provide you with a personalized swing analysis and swing tip to help you with your game. Every lesson takes place within our online lesson tee, where you have access to all of your swing videos, our built-in swing analysis tools and a messaging platform to communicate with your instructor.

Can I choose an instructor?

Yes! You will be able to browse our list of decorated instructors and choose the teaching professional that you would like to work with.

What do I get with a Swingpal lesson?

To ensure a quality user experience, we require our instructors to deliver two videos during a lesson. First, instructors must provide a swing analysis that focuses on a few key problems with your golf swing. Second, our instructors must supply you with a swing tip or drill that is relevant to your problems. This tip might be filmed by your instructor or it might be selected from our database of customized tips from Swingpal's resident teaching pro, Jim Williams. In addition, you can ask your instructor questions through your lesson page's messaging platform.

How much does a lesson cost?

Lesson credits are $29.95 each and are good for one lesson with a Swingpal instructor. Swingpal also offers lesson packages in which lessons can be purchased at a discounted rate.

How do I communicate with my instructor?

After you have started a lesson, you can message back and forth with your instructor within a lesson through the messaging platform on your personal profile page. Any questions or comments you have can be addressed by your instructor there.
