The SpineAlign AI Golf Coach app and training videos are<\/p>\n

\"SpineAlign<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never done it before, I would encourage you to go to a driving range and just watch the golf swings.\u00a0 You\u2019ll see some of the craziest body motions you can imagine \u2013 standing up, crouching down, swaying, shifting, twisting, lunging, and more.\u00a0 And somehow, with all these\u2026non-traditional\u2026movements, golfers manage to get the club to the ball.\u00a0 Just imagine how good and *consistent* those golfers could be if their hands and arms weren\u2019t compensating for wild contortions.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the general concept behind the SpineAlign Golf app.\u00a0 This is a training app and methodology that wants to get you moving into the conventional, Tour-approved positions so that you can hit the ball better and more consistently.\u00a0 I tested it to see if it works.<\/p>\n

\"SpineAlign
\nSet Up & Ease of Use<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the physical elements of the SpineAlign system.\u00a0 There are three wearable phone holders: a lightweight vest, a pro vest, and a hip belt.\u00a0 Each of these devices is intuitive to wear and adjustable to fit a range of bodies.\u00a0 I prefer the \u201cpro\u201d (non-mesh) upper body training harness, but both work well.\u00a0 You definitely don\u2019t need to own both.<\/p>\n

Turning to the website, you\u2019ll want to create an account HERE<\/a> to view the instructional videos.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t cost anything to create an account and watch the lessons.\u00a0 You don\u2019t even need to download the app.\u00a0 This is a good starting point if you want to see what SpineAlign is all about.<\/p>\n

There are six lesson videos \u2013 Grip, Posture, Lower Body, Alignment, Full Swing, and Short Game \u2013 plus a few bonus videos.\u00a0 The lessons range from six to fifteen minutes and are of decent quality.\u00a0 I think the information and drills are good, but the videos are a bit slow and repetitive.<\/p>\n

That brings us to the SpineAlign Golf app, available for Apple and Android devices.\u00a0 After you download this, you\u2019ll need to create a new account, even if you have an account on the website.\u00a0 The app is free to use for 60 days, after which you have to actively opt-in.\u00a0 Huge kudos to SpineAlign for this ethical implementation.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure almost everyone has dealt with subscriptions that automatically opt you into payments after the trial period.\u00a0 SpineAlign doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Using the app is easy if not intuitive.\u00a0 The app measures you spine angle at address, so you need to select the right club \u2013 Driver, Woods, 4-6 Irons, 7-9 Irons, or Wedge.\u00a0 You can also opt to measure Hip Turn Angle.\u00a0 Once you\u2019ve made your choice, load your phone into the wearable holster, zero the measurements by saying, \u201cZero,\u201d and you\u2019re read to start training.\u00a0 The app makes sounds when you\u2019re in the right positions.\u00a0 Understanding the sounds requires watching the videos.<\/p>\n

You can access the lesson videos and \u201cHow to\u201d videos directly from the app.\u00a0 This is important since some users may not be aware that the website exists.\u00a0 The very first video \u2013 \u201cHow to Use SpineAlign\u201d \u2013 is seven minutes long and silent\u2026you can skip this.\u00a0 Like the instructional videos, the \u201cHow to Use the Hip Belt\u201d and \u201cHow to Use Chest Vests\u201d videos are good but longer than they need to be.

\nEffectiveness<\/p>\n

The goal of the SpineAlign Golf app is to get your body moving through the right positions during the golf swing.\u00a0 That starts with establishing the right spine angle at address then goes to your shoulder tilt at the top of the swing and impact.\u00a0 You can also measure your hip turn angle, cueing you to the preferred angles at the top of your backswing and impact.<\/p>\n

The cues are different sounds \u2013 beeps, zaps, and \u201cYes\u201d \u2013 that play when you hit the right positions.\u00a0 Quick note that should be obvious: if you\u2019re going to use this at the range, you need to bring headphones.<\/p>\n

Once you understand how the app works and what the sounds mean, SpineAlign is a very effective trainer.\u00a0 It delivers feedback that is immediate and clear \u2013 the single biggest thing we ask from any trainer.<\/p>\n

Most of the drills in the instructional videos are done without hitting balls, or, in some cases, without even holding a club.\u00a0 This is fine, in my view, as it allows the golfer to focus on feeling the right movements rather than worrying about where the ball is going.\u00a0 Of course, you can use SpineAlign while hitting balls, but this is something I wouldn\u2019t recommend until you\u2019re consistently hitting the right positions.<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning the scope\/limitations of SpineAlign.\u00a0 While there is some instructional material on the grip, hands, and wrists, the app only addresses body positions.\u00a0 I tend to agree that the hands and wrists will largely take care of themselves if the body is in the right positions, but it\u2019s fair to acknowledge that you can get your body in the right spot and still hit some wonky shots.<\/p>\n

The one other big negative I have to note is the \u201cSwing Faults\u201d database.\u00a0 This exists on the SpineAlign website and is linked from the app.\u00a0 For any of the nine faults (slice, hook, etc), there are over a dozen \u201cMain Causes and Corrections.\u201d\u00a0 These lists are so long as to be useless and often include opposite \u201ccauses\u201d such as \u201cStanding Too Close to the Ball\u201d and \u201cStanding Too Far from the Ball.\u201d\u00a0 While I appreciate the sentiment of trying to offer golfers fixes to their specific issues, their ultimate answer is, \u201cUse the app more,\u201d which is a fine answer and should be kept that simple.<\/p>\n

Longevity<\/p>\n

SpineAlign is a wonderfully simple app, free of unnecessary menus and options.\u00a0 This makes it very quick and easy to use.\u00a0 Similarly, the wearable phone cradles go on easily, so there\u2019s not much friction to getting started.<\/p>\n

While you can use SpineAlign on the range, this is a trainer you can use anywhere that you have space to stand.\u00a0 In fact, I\u2019d say it\u2019s best used away from the range.\u00a0 You can knock out ten reps between emails a few times a day, and you\u2019ll see real improvement.<\/p>\n

The knock on longevity is that there\u2019s nothing gamified about SpineAlign, and there\u2019s no way to scale the difficulty up or down.\u00a0 I found the cues helpful \u2013 particularly the shoulder tilt at impact \u2013 but I didn\u2019t find using the app particularly rewarding or joyful.<\/p>\n

Overall, I would rate SpineAlign slightly above average for longevity.<\/p>\n

\"SpineAlign<\/p>\n

Value<\/p>\n

Subscribing to the SpineAlign app costs $10 per month of $50 for the year.\u00a0 You can buy the package of wearable phone cradles for $50, but you don\u2019t need two chest holders, so the \u201creal\u201d cost is between $25 and $35.\u00a0 In sum, you can get a year of SpineAlign and the devices for under $100.<\/p>\n

No matter what you compare SpineAlign to \u2013 other online training systems, conventional lessons, or training aids \u2013 it\u2019s a strong value.\u00a0 For a modest investment, you get clear, organized instructional material and a solid training tool. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\nConclusion<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ready to devote some time and energy to building a more powerful, consistent golf swing, the SpineAlign Golf app is a great place to start.\u00a0 While this is not a fun, gamified trainer, it does provide clear, immediate feedback to golfers who want to put the effort into building a more fundamentally sound swing.
