How RowXL Analyses Rowing Technique
Watching rowing video is easy. Knowing what actually matters — and what to fix first — is the hard part. RowXL is built around a coach-led framework that turns video into clear, practical action.
Why most rowers struggle with video
Many rowers watch their own footage and spot everything at once: hands too high, timing slightly off, finishes messy, slides uneven. The problem isn’t effort — it’s knowing what actually makes the boat go faster.
RowXL filters out the noise. Each analysis focuses on the small number of issues that truly affect rhythm, connection, and speed.
The RowXL coaching approach
Every report starts by finding the key technical problems that appear repeatedly — not one bad stroke, but patterns that hold the crew or athlete back.
Each issue is linked directly to boat feel and performance. If a change doesn’t improve rhythm, connection, or efficiency, it doesn’t belong in the report.
You receive clear cues and suggested drills you can use immediately — on the water or on the erg — without guesswork.
Not generic AI feedback
RowXL isn’t anonymous. Every report follows the same coaching framework used with masters crews, senior men’s and women’s boats, and club squads preparing for major regattas.
The goal isn’t perfection — it’s progress you can feel within a session or two.
