Golf swing analysis drawings

[thewolfe]

I'm looking for information on drawing lines and angles in various positions on my golf swing videos. Is there a book or website that show numerous line/angle analysis drawings?

Re: Golf swing analysis drawings

I'm not sure what you're looking for.

I'll assume you have the appropriate software.

Common lines include:

Shaft plane
Spine angle
Spine tilt
Shoulder plane
'Tush line' (hip plane)
Lines outside the shoulders (to detect sway)

Good luck in your search.

That's exactly what I'm looking for except a bunch more if they exist. And yes I do have the software.

Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the post.

What software do you use? Do you recommend it?

Re: Golf swing analysis drawings

I'm usong "cswing'. I looked at:

V1, JC Video and Golf coach.......

I downloaded and tried JC, V1 and cswing.

Cswing had the drawing tools I liked including angles like 56 degrees, had plenty of pro golfers to view, captured video from my camcorder to my laptop ok and I think, had the biggest viewable screen not including their toolbars and such.

It's great. I now have an idea what to work on with my swing rather than just going to the range and hitting thousands of balls.

Glad to answer any questions.

You purchased CSwing?

Not sure how to respond to the last post?

Re: Golf swing analysis drawings

I'm just curious as to whether you actually spent the money to get the license, or whether or not you're messing around with the 2 week trial.

IF I was going to spend money on software, I'd buy CSwing. However, between a trajectory mat, swing speed radar, and V1Home, I've got about everything I need to analyse my swing.

I wasn't trying to be derogatory - just curious if you got excited with it's possibilities and dropped the coin to make it yours!

Re: Golf swing analysis drawings

I went in w/ a friend of mine and bought it.

Re: Golf swing analysis drawings

What's a trajectory mat and which one do you have?

[LowPost42]

Re: Golf swing analysis drawings

A trajectory mat is a high tech piece of ...

well...


tarp, really. (I bought mine from Wishon).

It's a heavyweight vinyl (or something similar) with a wonderful grid on it.

You hang it, set up a tee so far away, and hit a ball into it.

Then you run the pythagorean theorem to figure out your launch angle.

I find it much easier to use a little bit of software.

I believe the defacto standard for trajectory mats is 10' away, starting 2' from the ground.

At any rate, it's a fine piece for launch angle. However, I think that becomes automatic with a couple of lines in CSwing, doesn't it?

I really liked CSwing, it was just outside my budget (and justification ability) at the time. I guess having spent some pretty coin on a loft and lie machine, CSwing would be a drop in the bucket at this point

There appears to be a shareware version of cswing.

I know exactly what your are referring to. I came across a website that taught you the proper camera angles, and what you should look for in a golf swing - and the drawings were animated. I probably bookmarked the site on my home computer and I will have a look for you and see if I can find it, and post it here - it definetly exists on the Net.

I am curious about your progess - the idea of video taping and analysising your swing sounds very promising - as opposeed to hitting thousands of golf balls - especially!

Re: Golf swing analysis drawings

cswing also has the same 7 day evaluation program as http://www.tucows.com/preview/257798

Re: Golf swing analysis drawings

Jamesh,

I have learned a lot about the golf swing and mine in particular.

I now, for the first time when I go to the range, have something to work on except the latest thing I saw on the GolfChannel or read in the latest golf magazine.

I must say that I'm not scoring as well as I was but I'm willing to go through this transition to ultimately have a better swing and play better golf.

I haven't showed it to anyone that hasn't got some benefit out of it either by watching their swing or the thirty or so pros I have that can be shown, frame by frame from "face on" and "don the line".

Hope that fills in some of your questions.
