How it works

Three taps to a traced shot.

1

Record or import

Film a 3–15 second swing, or pull one from your camera roll. Trim to the shot and send it.

2

We trace it

The engine finds the ball and club, times the impact, and reconstructs the flight — in the background, while you keep playing.

3

Post it

Get the polished tracer overlay back on your phone, ready to save, compare, or share.

FAQ

Still have questions?

More at support@secondcut.co.

What does Second Cut do?

You give it a short swing video and it returns the same clip with the ball flight traced — the arc, the impact moment, and a clean overlay you can post.

What do I need to film?

A 3–15 second clip of a single swing on an iPhone. You can record in-app or import from your camera roll, then trim to the shot.

Does it need a launch monitor or special hardware?

No. Second Cut works from ordinary phone footage — no launch monitor, sensors, or markers required.

Where does the processing happen?

Your clip is uploaded securely for tracing, then the traced result comes back to your phone. See our Privacy Policy for exactly what's collected and how long it's kept.

Which phones are supported?

iPhone on iOS 17 or later. An Android version isn't available yet.
