The Golf Lab integrates an Artifical Intellegence Assistant:
* It reads the videos taken of you
* Analyzes them
* Overlays your joints with graphics
* Saves a new video
* Shows where improvements are needed
In these AI generated overlay videos you will see yourself with lines highlighted in red / orange where the system has determined an issue in your swing.
These videos guide us on areas to focus.
Below is a sample AI video.
Pre - AI Analysis
Video recorded by the system when you swing.
AI - Issue 1
BACKSWING SWAY
This situation arises when the lower body is the first to move or when there is inadequate hip rotation during the initial phase of the swing. Improper weight distribution may lead to
compensatory actions, such as an elevated upper body, an exaggerated reverse spine angle, and a reverse pivot, which can cause the center of gravity to shift toward the target. This
backswing pattern, along with the upper body advancing ahead of the lower body during the downswing, results in an "over the top" swing path. As a result, this can lead to poor ball
contact, topped shots, and slices, while also significantly reducing distance due to insufficient activation of the lower body.
AI - Issue 2
LEAD ARM BEND
This pertains to the flexing movement of the lead elbow at the apex of the backswing. If the lead arm is overly bent during this phase, the path of the backswing may become constricted.
Consequently, during the transition, there is a significant likelihood that the upper body will move forward, resulting in an early release commonly referred to as casting.
AI - Issue 3
OVERSWING AT TOP
At the apex of the backswing, the club head is positioned at a greater angle towards the ground than in a horizontal alignment, resulting in a stance where the club head is tilted downward
beyond the horizontal plane. An excessive overswing may cause the club face to close during the shot, which can result in an early release, commonly referred to as casting. This premature
release can lead to topping, fat shots, and slicing, thereby increasing the chances of diminished distances.
AI - Issue 4
CASTING
The premature release of wrist cock during the downswing can lead to casting, which significantly increases the chances of straying from the proper swing path. This deviation often results
in the clubhead making contact with the ground prior to striking the ball, producing fat shots and a swift reduction in clubhead speed, ultimately resulting in diminished distance. Additionally,
scooping, which occurs due to the early bending of the wrists before impact, combined with a follow-through characterized by a chicken wing, may elevate the risk of injuries to the wrist and elbow.
