V1Pro

Premium is 39.95usd and the basic is free.

If you use a casio camera with slow-mo capture or just regular video camera can do some analysis

This is the software I use for teaching. Recommend you get the upgrade as the basic has only limited features. The premium you can split screen so you can have 2 swings side by side. Also you can zoom in and out.

currently i'm using the basic model, so far so good.

it even has a feature to download some swing video as reference.

to be honest, trying to fix one's own swing is like trying to represent oneself in court. as someone once said, a man who represents himself in court has a fool for a lawyer

went down this route before, believe me, trying to make small small tweaks here and there will end up screwing up your swing. The simplest and most effective tool I have used so far is a full length mirror that I use to check my swing plane.

just be careful not to fall into the trap of overanalyzing one's own swing. later you got to remember 50 things during your takeaway and fail to hit the ball. In my case, my biggest problem after my swing plane faults was really about tempo, which really can't be fixed with a swing analysis tool.

Despite paying for some lessons over the last 6 months, the best lesson I got came from my fitter who also doubles as my coach (i.e. free) -- on your backswing, get your shaft perpendicular to your neck. That was the first step to fixing my jialat outside-in swing
