Golf & Performance

Understand Your Swing.
Improve With Precision.

A golf swing analysis is a frame-by-frame review of your swing, connecting visible movement patterns with clear technical priorities.

Costa Health delivers this service remotely through Skillest. Record your swing on your phone, upload it from anywhere in the world, and receive detailed video feedback from our coaches and golf specialists. No clinic visit. No scheduling. Just clear, movement insight into what your body is doing through the swing.

How It Works

Three steps, no clinic visit

Costa Health's swing analysis runs entirely through Skillest. Upload your footage, receive a biomechanical breakdown, and start improving, all from wherever you play.

1

Upload Your Swing

Record your swing on your phone and send it through Skillest. Front-on and down-the-line angles work best. No studio, no special equipment, no clinic visit required.

2

Biomechanical Analysis

We review your footage frame by frame, assessing posture, sequencing, transition mechanics and impact position. Every observation is mapped to its physical cause.

3

Personalised Feedback

You receive a detailed video response breaking down what your body is doing, why it matters and what to work on. Actionable, specific and grounded in movement reasoning.

What Costa Health Analyses

Five areas that shape your swing

Setup and posture form the foundation of every swing. Poor address position creates compensations before the club even moves. We examine spine angles, weight distribution and joint alignment at setup to establish whether your body is in a position to rotate efficiently from the start.

Backswing sequencing determines how energy is stored. The order in which your hips, thorax and shoulders rotate during the takeaway directly affects the power available at impact. When segments move out of sequence, the body finds workarounds, and those workarounds cost distance, accuracy or both.

Transition mechanics sit at the heart of the kinematic sequence. The moment the club changes direction from backswing to downswing is where most amateur golfers leak power. A 2016 study published in the Journal of Sports Sciences found that the timing of pelvis-to-thorax separation at transition was the strongest predictor of clubhead speed among mid-handicap players. This is the moment Costa Health scrutinises most closely.

Impact position reveals the cumulative effect of everything that came before it. Shaft lean, face angle and body rotation at the moment of contact are the final output of the kinematic chain. Physical restrictions upstream, such as limited hip internal rotation or thoracic stiffness, surface clearly at impact, even when they're invisible earlier in the swing.

Follow-through and balance tell the story after the ball has gone. An uncontrolled finish, a reverse-C position or difficulty holding the finish can indicate sequencing or stability priorities worth exploring.

The Difference

Why biomechanical, not just visual

Most swing analysis stops at what the club and body look like. That approach can identify a fault, but it rarely explains the cause. A golfer told their right elbow flies out at the top will try to pin it, but if the real issue is restricted thoracic rotation, the fix won't stick. The body finds another compensation, and the cycle repeats.

Costa Health's approach starts with the body. Sarah and our collaborating coaches connect visible swing characteristics to the movement patterns behind them. A steep downswing, for instance, might relate to limited lead hip rotation and may need a different coaching priority.

This distinction matters because it changes what you practise. Rather than chasing positions, you address the root cause. Golfers who have spent months on the same technical fault often find progress when the underlying mobility or stability deficit is identified and targeted.

The movement-led view also helps avoid forcing a textbook position that does not match a golfer's current rotation, balance or control. The result is more useful feedback and more realistic practice.

Who Is This For?

Golfers anywhere in the world

Costa Health built this service for golfers who don't have access to golf movement insight locally. Many players on the Costa del Sol use it between in-person appointments. Others connect from the UK, northern Europe or further afield, sending footage from their home course and receiving feedback within days.

Club golfers working on a specific fault benefit from an additional movement perspective. Competitive players can also use it to fine-tune mechanics during heavier practice blocks.

It also works well for golfers who want a second look at a swing change that has stalled. The review creates a recorded set of priorities you can revisit during practice.

No location restrictions

Film your swing at any course, driving range or back garden. All you need is a phone.

Asynchronous feedback

No live session to schedule. Upload when it suits you, receive detailed video feedback within a few days.

Ongoing or one-off

Use it as a single check-in or build a regular review cycle alongside your practice schedule.

Common Questions

Swing analysis FAQs

What is Skillest and how does it work?
Skillest is a coaching platform that connects golfers with certified professionals worldwide. You upload a video of your swing through the app, and your coach reviews it asynchronously, returning detailed video feedback. There's no scheduling required and no need for a live session.
What angles should I film for my swing?
Two angles give the most useful data: face-on (camera directly in front of you, level with your hands at address) and down-the-line (camera behind you, aimed along the target line). Film in landscape mode at normal speed. Slow-motion is helpful but not essential.
How is this different from a lesson with a golf pro?
A golf coach focuses on technique and shot outcome. Costa Health also considers the movement patterns visible through the swing, so each observation connects to what your body can currently do.
Do I need to visit a clinic for this service?
No. The entire service is remote. You film your swing wherever you play, upload it through Skillest, and receive video feedback within a few days. Golfers use this service from across Europe, the UK and beyond.
Can swing analysis support an existing coaching plan?
Yes. The video feedback can highlight one or two clear priorities for you and your coach to use in practice. It can be a one-off review or part of an ongoing coaching cycle.
