The enjoyment of golf isn't limited to the four hours of play.
Playback18 is an app that uses AI to automatically find and stitch together swing moments from videos taken during your round, creating a video review of your day. All you need is a smartphone. There are no rules about how to position it. No editing knowledge or special equipment is required.
■ The fun continues after the round is over
• Watch it again before bed — Relive today's great shots
• In the car on the way home — Discuss your game with your playing partners while watching the video
• On the 19th hole — "Look at that par!" Video makes the conversation more lively
• Share on LINE or social media — You'll want to show everyone your best shots
■ How to use it in 3 steps
1. Record each hole — Place your smartphone near you and start recording. Then just leave it recording. There's no need to aim. When you stop recording, the hole number will automatically advance.
2. Upload — After your round, one tap from the app. All you have to do is wait.
3. Enjoy it again and again — You'll receive a recap video detected and edited by AI.
■ Main Features
• AI Swing Automatic Detection: Video AI finds the moment of impact and distinguishes between practice swings and actual swings.
• Automatically Saves to One Video: Includes captions for hole number, course name, and distance. Saves everything from tee shots to chips and putts.
• Hole Map Display: Draws the ball flight line on aerial photographs, showing where each shot went from (for shots with location information).
• Vertical Short Videos: Export your best shots in vertical format, save them to your device, and share them directly on LINE or Instagram.
• Jump to Shot: Jump to the shot you want to see in one go. Even if you press the wrong hole number, you can correct it later.
• Slow Motion and Frame-by-Frame Playback: Slow motion up to 0.25x, frame-by-frame forward and backward, 10-second skip, full-screen display. You can pause at the moment of impact and carefully review your actual swing.
• Shareable Link: You can show it to friends who don't have the app with just one link.
• Play on TV: Chromecast compatible. You can review it with everyone on a big screen.
• Cloud Storage: Stored for 3 years while using a paid plan. Your round memories will never disappear (90 days after free use or cancellation of monthly plan).
■ You can even record during a solo round.
Until now, recording your swing required asking someone else to do it. With Playback18, all you need to do is keep your smartphone near you. You don't need a special camera or someone to film you. You can play as usual without being distracted by filming.
■ Have you ever seen your actual swing?
You can swing well at the driving range, but it doesn't work out on the course—the quickest way to find out why is to see your actual swing with your own eyes. A short shot over a water hazard, a tee shot after an out-of-bounds, the pressure of the last three holes. Playback18 automatically records "yourself in tense situations," which you previously had no way to check. *Playback18 is an app for recording your swing. Due to AI-based automatic detection, there may be instances of missed detections. Automatic form analysis functionality is planned for future development.
■ Pricing
* Your first round is free (the number of free recordings may be limited monthly across the entire service).
* After that, you can choose between a monthly plan or a single round purchase.
* Please check the in-app purchase screen for pricing and details.
■ Filming Etiquette
Please be considerate of your playing partners and other groups when filming. A deletion request form is available on the sharing page. Please use the app in accordance with the filming rules of each golf course.
