Document, Comment & Find Your Swings

Recording a swing is easy. Remembering, three weeks later, which swing was the one where you finally shallowed the club — that's the hard part. MotionEdge gives you a few simple ways to make a swing stay meaningful: name it, tag it, and comment on it. Do a little of this as you go and your library turns into a practice journal instead of a pile of clips.

There are two places this happens, both in Video Review: the Swing Summary panel and the Comments panel.

The Swing Summary panel — the facts of the swing

Swap any panel to Swing Summary and you get the swing's details, all editable right there:

• Name — give it something you'll recognize ("Driver — finally quiet hips").
• Club — pick from the list, or type your own.
• Tags — reusable labels for what a swing is about (see below).
• Person — whose swing this is, handy when you film friends or students.
• Date — adjust if needed.
• Favorite (⭐) — star the keepers.
• Location — where it was recorded, with the course name when we can identify it.

The panel also shows what data the swing already has — video angles, Watch data, AI analyses, TrackMan, swing grades, detected events, drawings — so you can see at a glance how complete it is. Changes save automatically as you make them.

Tags — labels that group your swings

A tag is a reusable label — driver, working-on-takeaway, lesson-with-coach, range-day, keeper — that you attach to a swing from the Swing Summary panel. Because the same tag can sit on many swings, tagging is how you later pull up every swing in a theme, not just one.

A good, low-effort system:

• Tag the thing you're working on (shallowing, tempo, early-extension).
• Tag the keepers you'll want as references (keeper, benchmark).
• Tag a session or context (lesson, cold-day, new-driver).

Comments — the story behind the swing

Swap a panel to Comments for a running thread on that specific swing.

Comments need iCloud Sync turned on. Comments live in iCloud so they can travel with the swing across your devices and to anyone you've shared a session with. If Sync is off, the panel will prompt you to enable it. See iCloud Sync.

Comments work two ways, and most golfers use both:

• As your own practice notes. Leave yourself a line — "felt like I started the downswing with the lower body here, ball flew" — so the feel is captured next to the swing, not just the mechanics. Next time you open it, the note is right there.
• As a conversation in a shared session. When a session is shared (you and a coach, or you and a buddy), comments become a back-and-forth attached to the exact swing — far clearer than texting "the third one looked better." Each comment is attributed to who wrote it; you control how your name appears in Comment Display Names.

Comments are different from an AI Coach conversation. Comments are your words (and your group's). The AI Coach is the analysis engine. Use comments to capture intent and discussion; use the AI Coach when you want the app's read on the swing.

Finding a swing again

The more you fill in, the easier a swing is to find later. From your swing library, the search field and filters work across the details you've added — so a swing you've named clearly and tagged honestly is one you can pull back up in seconds.

The practical rule: the details you add are what make a swing findable. A swing tagged for the change you were chasing and named accordingly will surface fast when you come back to it.

A simple workflow that pays off

1. Capture or import the swing.
2. In Swing Summary, set the club and add one or two tags for what you're working on.
3. If it's a keeper, hit the ⭐.
4. Drop a one-line comment about how it felt, or what you want to remember.
5. Weeks later, search the details — and the swing, its feel, and any discussion are all right there.

That's the whole loop. A few seconds per swing, and your library becomes something you actually go back to.
