PITTSBURGH – The biggest release to the SwingTracker mobile app is available today, with a simplified and easier-to-understand user experience for coaches and players.

With SwingTracker 3.4, coaches will see an improved flow to match how one would use the app in a quick, high-intensity training session. Moreover, the swing view has been made simpler and more relevant to specific data that both players and coaches have been asking for.

Hitting goals have been added as well to enhance the training experience for players and coaches alike, while the 3D view now features multiple metric views in addition to the ability to compare a real swing with the 3D version of the same swing side-by-side.
