Golf is a sport that consists mainly in precision, accuracy, and consistency. Since the start of Golf, the audience and the very golfers themselves could only analyze the performance of their swing by seeing after impact, where the ball lies.
Now days, with the help of top notch technology High-Speed cameras that are being develop, not only the audience, but the pro golfers can benefit in seeing their swing at ultra-slow motion frames. An example of a camera that is being used by CBS sports (one of the major media broadcaster for PGA tournaments) is the Phontron´s High Speed APX Camera. By the usage of this camera, broadcasters can discuss even further the swing of a pro golfers, therefore, give a richer report to their audience.
Here is an example of video clips where this technology is being used:
Nike: Companies can take this neat tool for marketing advertising campaigns
PGA Tournaments: Enables spectators to analyze pro´s swings.
Amazing technology! As a player and a viewer it makes it spectacular! You should also check out the ProTracer technology, showing where the ball goes and how perfectly the guys can play their shots...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSFWvisVAUM&
ReplyDeleteYes!! that is amazing!!!! i was looking for this technology and i couldn't find it. This makes it much more interesting for amateur players to check out their favorite pro's swing/trajectory. This perhaps will enable amateurs golfers train better.
ReplyDeleteps. Tiger´s show was quite nice, although Phil's is also incredible.
