Shoot
Swish

You get them for an hour. They shoot alone for the rest of the week. Swish films a shot on the player’s own phone, reads the form, names one fix, and hands you the week they actually had.

What you are buying

A trainer gets an hour with a player, then loses sight of them. The player shoots alone. No eye on the form. No way to tell which miss is worth fixing.

Swish is that eye, on the player’s own phone. It films a shot and reads the form from body pose. It scores nine mechanics against ideal ranges. Then it names the one fix with the most leverage, not a list of everything wrong.

A trainer seat is the player app plus a roster. It films the trainer’s own reps. It adds a seven day log for every player: shots, days, average, change versus last week, best, and the fix showing up most.

The nine mechanics: leg load, elbow set, elbow flare, set point height, release arc, follow through, balance, stance width and drift. The feedback comes in one of five coaching voices: The Shot Doctor, The Skills Trainer, The Hype, The Professor and The Fundamentalist. They are archetypes and composites. No real coach, athlete, brand or trademarked system is named anywhere in the app. That is deliberate.

How it works

Five steps
01
Film a shot
On the player’s own phone. Everything runs on that device. Only numbers are stored.
02
It reads the form
The form comes off the body pose in the clip. Nine mechanics, each scored against its ideal range.
03
It names one fix
The shot gets a score and one fix, the one with the most leverage, in one of five coaching voices.
04
The player sends the week
A readable report plus a paste-able payload goes to the coach. Numbers only, no video.
05
The coach sees the roster
Paste the payload. It merges into that player’s row: shots, days, average, change versus last week, best, and the fix showing up most, across seven days.

What it will not do

On purpose
01
It will not upload the video
Everything runs on the player’s own device. The video never leaves the phone. Only numbers are stored. There is no server for a clip to land on.
02
It will not grade a clip that is not a shot
It declines to score it and says so. No invented grade.
03
It will not name or imitate a real coach
The five voices are archetypes and composites. No real coach, athlete, brand or trademarked system is named anywhere in the app.
04
It will not charge your players
The seat is the trainer’s. Players use it free.

FAQ

Trainers and players

How do I track my shooting form?

Film a shot with Swish on your own phone. It reads your form from your body pose. It scores nine mechanics against ideal ranges. It names the one fix with the most leverage, not a list of everything wrong. The nine are leg load, elbow set, elbow flare, set point height, release arc, follow through, balance, stance width and drift.

Is there an app that analyses a basketball shot?

Swish does. It films a shot, reads the form from body pose, scores it and names one fix, in one of five coaching voices. It runs entirely on the player’s own device. The video never leaves the phone. Only numbers are stored.

How do coaches track players between sessions?

The player sends their week as a readable report plus a paste-able payload. The coach pastes it and it merges into that player’s row. The roster carries a seven day log per player: shots, days, average, change versus last week, best, and the fix showing up most. Numbers only. No video. No server.

Does it upload my video?

No. Swish runs entirely on the player’s own device. The video never leaves the phone. Only numbers are stored. There is no server, so there is nowhere for a clip to go.

What does Swish cost?

Solo is free and covers your own reps plus three players. Roster is $29 per month for up to twenty five players. Program is $79 per month for unlimited players and coaches. There is a fourteen day trial of the full roster.

Do my players have to pay?

No. Swish is sold to trainers. Players use it free. A trainer seat is the player app plus a roster: it films the trainer’s own reps and adds a week log for every player.
