Re: kinetic linking

Fabulous find!

Re: kinetic linking

Good information but more from an academic view than practical help to the novice pupil.

Reading my Article Plane & Path 111 and watching the attached video from Jeff Ritter will IMO be of more assistance to the novice. But I guess I would say that

Do you really think it was good information Brian?

I thought it was a load of tosh, pseudo scientific babble that, in the end told me that pros swing better than high handicappers.

Gee whiz Sherlock Cheetham you don't say.

Not a single word of that article would help 99% of golfers improve- a definite candidate for Room 101.

Aha, not being used to that I missed it

Mind you, so was I

Re: kinetic linking

I agree with Greg. Very interesting and very helpful.

Do you teach golf? If so would you show it to a novice?

Re: kinetic linking

I think the info is great! It fits very nicely with the new equipment around like 3D motion analysis and accelerometers. For teachers it's a great resource to print out and keep for the right occassion.

Sure, I'd show it to a novice if they would benefit from the knowledge, understand it and learn by visual reference material. Anybody could understand it if it was delivered at a level the student would understand. Don't under estimate a lot of novices and how much insight they have...

Re: kinetic linking

With respect, my opinion is that most novices as well as those that have played golf for many years are either confused or baffled by much of the confusing information given out. If I had payed for a lesson as Joe average and was given that article it would probably be my last lesson.

I play a lot and watch a lot and the average golf swing is horrible, much probably due to confusion. I believe this is why the world average handicap remains in the mid twenties.

Re: kinetic linking

sorry, i guess i put it in the wrong category. I know there are a lot of advanced minds on the site that might enjoy it. It can be misleading tho to a begginer.

It was not ment to be the greatest advice ever given to anyone and that is why i did not write anything about it, i just posted the intersting link i found and you can read it or not.

No problem my friend. The debate is no criticism of you.

You are in the appropriate category. There is a separate "New to Golf" forum specifically for beginners. Please do not be discouraged from posting whatever YOU think is appropriate. This forum is not limited to novice advice.

Re: kinetic linking

Ofcourse Golfinguy should post what he wants without apology. The site is largely about opinions after all.

I just to like to know HOW this informationm is likely to prove useful and to whom?

I agree with Greg. Very interesting and very helpful.

If you look at the product site it says that

"AMM’s motion analysis algorithms together with TPI’s tour pro databases and kinematic reports provide the golf and fitness professional with detailed information on the biomechanical technique of the swing; information that cannot be seen with the naked eye or even with video."

I just don't see how knowing this level of biomechanical detail will help anyone - other tha, that is the pro providing the service

With apologies to both Gregs, Graham, Kevin et al on I think that for 99% of teaching pros out there it will prove - just like video analysis* - to be cash generating snake oil designed to part the anxious to improve punter from his cash.

* I've stayed out of the last two video discussions because I know I'm in a minority of one on this but some one tell me why when equipment is better all round why video isn't bringing down the average handicap.

Donning flame proof jacket again.

Robin,

Where did that quote come from?

Brian, quote taken from the company's home page which you can derive from the link to the thinly disguised marketing material.
