Mark, the past couple years I’ve really gone down the swing analysis rabbit hole. In addition to working with a swing coach, I built a hitting bay with slow motion cameras that I practice with daily. My swing has improved tremendously as result. That said, lately I’ve started to worry I’m playing “golf swing” instead of golf. All this tech makes it easier than ever to fall into a never ending cycle of swing tweaks. Curious what your thoughts are on how to avoid that and balance swing improvement with actual game improvement? Maybe a video topic!
@@electricalstuff259 I went from a 15 to a 9. But improvement has definitely plateaued. I often play with people who have funky swings or can’t hit the ball very far but play really good golf. NotAScratchGolfer is a great example of a player who just swings his swing.
I had my first gears lesson a couple of weeks ago. It was really helpful in getting precise data on sway for example that showed I sway too much on the way back and never recovered. Unfortunately I’ve been working on this so can’t do an exact comparison, but will do my best to compare the data on sportsbox. Obviously it’s not real 3d compared to gears, but having this available on your phone is crazy compared to what was available to a normal golfer even 10 years ago.
We have comparison data against AMM, the gold standard in 3D mocap in golf (used by TPI and many other research institutes). Here's how to think about functional accuracy, equivalency, and consistency of different 3D systems and how that matters for coaching and training. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j8DihMspU1k.html
Thanks Mark. Great video as always. Is there a video coming out of you and Rory playing Rush? I grew up right beside that course. I would love to see that.
I’m giving this a 3-4 month run during the off season to see what happens with the swing. I’ve spent $100+ on far less useful golf tech, that’s for sure.
We do offer swing direction vs. your stance (ankle-to-ankle line) in the app from down-the-line captures! It'll be different from Trackman's swing direction since they measure direction vs. the target line set in the device.
Looks very interesting! But darn what a deep rabbit hole one can dig into! And for the recreational golfer with limited real knowledge of swing mechanics it could do more harm than good!
@@MarkCrossfield With all new technology, people will have to learn how to use the data. Even 15 years after the advent of Trackman and now inexpensive personal monitors, many people don't have a clue how to act on the numbers,. They choose wrong drills to 'improve' their numbers. This will harm their swing. New tools needs to be used together with knowledge, and the average recreational golfer does not posses that knowledge. We still hear 'keep your head down'! The knowledge comes best from your PGA Pro.
the free choice is alright. telling me what i already know, which is nice. club on the inside on the take away. it says if i fix this it will be perfect, seem to pass everything else
