We don't have time to fix a swing by trial-and-error. You want to get better, and you want to do so quickly! Today I'm sharing the cheat-code for building a better swing, and it should come as no surprise that AI is involved. I'm going to show you what I use to give lessons, and why I trust Sportsbox.ai. And yes, I hope this gets you curious enough to send me a video of your swing so that I can review it.
Motion capture began in 1872. Yes, that is the correct year. It's not a typo. 1872. We've come a long way from using multiple still cameras positioned in series to take sequential photographs a galloping horse.
In 1989, video games started using motion capture techniques to make how characters move be more realistic. You've probably seen videos of athletes and actors alike dressed in skin-tight black suits that are covered with strategically placed white markers (small balls) so that a camera can capture exactly how that person moves. So, when you're pretending to be Lexi Thompson in the latest golf video game, you are actually controlling a motion-captured version of her performing her own exact movements.
And what does all this mean for your golf game, and for me as a golf coach? Well, today, now, we have Sportsbox.ai that is an app for your phone that makes you the star of your own 3D learning experience. Using the cameras on your phone, and Dumbledore-level AI magic, Sportsbox captures your swing movements, creates an avatar representation of you, and gives pin-point movement/motion measurements, in degrees and inches, for every microsecond from address to finish.
Get ready for some science reality that will (or should) blow your mind. This is the absolute cheat-code to getting you to swing better. And it's how I teach every lesson, with all my students.
Down The Line: Position the camera pointing at your hands and positioned parallel to your target line.
Front View: Position the camera pointing at your hands, and positioned perpendicular to your target line.
Clip your video so that it only contains your swing. This means that you will likely need to trim the start/end of the video.
Let's bring your swing and your golf learning into the whole new world of possibilities. I look forward to giving you a free swing analysis, and showing you how cool using Sportsbox to guide your improvement really is!
