COMING SOON — AI HIGHLIGHT MOVIE

The fun doesn't end
on the 18th hole.

Just record — AI turns your round into a highlight video. Before bed, on the drive home, with your group. Relive that shot, again and again.

After the Round

The joy of golf isn't just the four hours you play. Watch it back, talk it over, show it off — Playback18 turns the hours after your round into part of the fun.

Share & show off

Send your best shots to friends and family. Today's great shot deserves an audience.

How It Works

Three simple steps

All you need is your phone. Set it down beside your cart or bag and let it record. No special gear, no fiddly controls.

Sample Movie

What the video looks like

Recreated in the exact layout of an actual generated video.

For Improvement

Have you ever seen
your real swing?

You swing well at the range. But on the course, something changes—. The fastest way to find out why is to see your real swing with your own eyes.

The clues to getting better aren't at the range. They're on the course.
Start by watching your real swings.

* Playback18 records your swings. Due to automatic AI detection, some swings may occasionally be missed. Automatic form analysis is planned for a future update.

Range swings are easy to film

At the range, anyone can set a phone down and film. But that's the relaxed you. What you really need to see is the swing you make when the score is on the line.

Real swings were never captured

The nervy shot over water. The tee shot after an OB. The closing holes under pressure. There was never a practical way to see how your swing changes in those moments.

Playback18 records your real swings automatically

Just set your phone down and play. All 18 holes of swings are recorded automatically. Compare with your practice swings, front nine vs back nine, the holes where things went wrong. See the "real you" for the first time — and as many times as you want.

Features

What Playback18 does

AI

AI swing detection

Video AI pinpoints the moment of impact — and even tells practice swings from real ones.

REC

One recording per hole

No per-shot camera work. Start recording at the tee and focus on your game.

CUT

Auto-edited highlights

Detected shots are clipped with their natural flow and stitched into one video with hole captions.

3Y

Memories kept for 3 years

While you are on a paid plan, your recap videos are planned to be kept in the cloud for three years. The more you play, the more golf memories you stack up.

TV

Watch it on the big screen

Chromecast supported. Send your recap to the living-room TV and relive the round with family and friends instead of crowding around a phone.

Fully Automated

Leave the tedious parts to AI.

Analysis and editing all happen automatically in the cloud — no heavy processing on your phone. You just enjoy the golf.

AI finding and editing swings from footage

No more scrubbing footage

No digging through hours of video to find your swings. AI finds them, clips them, and stitches them into one video.

An editor automatically clipping shots from long footage

Editing is automatic

Cutting, trimming, captions — all done for you. No more spending a day off editing.

You just play

No starting and stopping the camera for every shot — and no holding up the group.

FAQ

FAQ

Which devices are supported?

We're launching on Android first (Android 10 or later). An iOS version is in preparation.

What happens to my videos?

Your footage is processed in the cloud solely to generate your recap, and is automatically deleted after a retention period. It is never used to train AI models. See our Privacy Policy.

How long can I watch my videos?

While you are on a paid plan, recap videos are planned to be kept in the cloud for three years (90 days for free use and after cancelling the monthly plan). You can also save recaps to your device, where they remain after cloud retention ends. Your original footage is automatically deleted after processing.

How much data does one round use?

It depends on how much you record, but expect a few GB. We recommend uploading over Wi-Fi.

Will practice swings clutter the video?

The AI distinguishes practice swings from real ones. Pre-shot practice swings are kept as part of the shot's natural flow.

Is this a scorekeeping app?

No — Playback18 is dedicated to reliving your round on video. It works great alongside your favorite scoring app.

Do I need an account?

Yes — you sign in with your Google account or Apple ID, so there is no new password to create. Signing in is what lets you watch your recaps across devices and keep your purchases.

Where is Playback18 available?

We are launching in Japan first. We will announce availability in the United States and other regions on this page.
