@blueoctopusai @BigSwingTempo Not sure what you’re asking me but - pipeline that runs on mobile that is accurate enough to be a swing path tool and aesthetically pleasing enough to be a feature in the app I’m about to release (this tracer pipeline is the last bit I’m adding before launch)

@brasscogg @BigSwingTempo What are you trying to do?

English

Bogey Wilcox@brasscogg·1h

Club Tracer pipeline I’m working on is taking so much longer than expected Trying to balance accuracy and smoothness. Max accuracy = jitter, unaesthetic arc Max smoothness = not useful for a tool to see clubpath for a particular swing

@BigSwingTempo 120fps is the primary rate of capture in my app, but 60fps must also be available for ultra-wide or front camera capture. 60fps is also what iPhones throttle down to when running hot as well 30fps is for uploads taken outside the app that I’d like it to handle but we’ll see!

English

Big Swing Tempo@BigSwingTempo·59m

@brasscogg Might be a basic question but why not use 120 FPS? What’s the trade off? Not available? Cost too much? Take too long to process?

English

Bogey Wilcox@brasscogg·1h

Indirectly maybe - a perfectly accurate model would be easier to tune into a club tracer Primary issue is on the downswing there are gaps due to FPS. Algorithm has to fill in the blanks where the data doesn’t exist. Those blanks that need to be filled are where the accuracy vs smoothness comes into play. So even with a perfect model, a 30fps video is going to have a lot of guesswork that needs to happen by the algorithm connecting all the dets

@brasscogg Is a limiting factor here the amount of data you have to train models?

Learned this lesson in college hanging with the golf team One guy on the team was maybe 5’5, another was about 5’7. Both D1 golfers, could absolutely bomb it

Steve Pratt@Hititlonger

Golfers can often pickup just as much distance by increasing efficiency. It’s not all about clubhead speed. It can be as much as what 5-8 mph would do. Focus on smash, AoA, launch and spin.

@MatthewHokie @BigSwingTempo Exactly!

@brasscogg @BigSwingTempo I do this sometimes to get square and get my shoulder level. Similar to putting your left hand down on your thigh before gripping the putter.

English

Allen, Allen, Allen, & Allen@MatthewHokie·4h

If anyone is struggling with pitch shots I would recommend spending some time trying this. It works surprisingly well and the nice part about it is that it's great as a drill too. Gets your shoulder level and gets your body and arms working together. You can use it on the course, or not. It's just golf...play around with it.

Jamie Kennedy@jamierkennedy

Whatever works. Just remember one of the 5 best golfers in the world chips like this. Don't be shy experimenting. This game is hard enough.

@BigSwingTempo @MatthewHokie Left hand low is fine for putting but if you don’t want to make a full switch yet - you can go left hand low at setup to even up your shoulders before putting your hands back to normal A few guys on your do this to keep their shoulders level at setup

Big Swing Tempo@BigSwingTempo·2h

@MatthewHokie I might have to try this with putting unfortunately 😭😭

If you’re taking divots like this with a driver you should quit and free up courses for people

@ManceyAus @JezzEllwoodGolf Ha this is like the meanest way to phrase it

English

Mancey@ManceyAus·4h

@brasscogg @JezzEllwoodGolf Because the reason goes without saying, that is..."I think there is a reasonable chance you miss this putt" I'm which case, it wasn't a gimmee

Two massive 'gimme' no-nos in golf for me... 1) Never explain to an opponent why you're not giving them a putt. 2) Never apologise if someone misses a putt that you haven't given them. In both scenarios, no words are necessary. Agree?

@slidewaze86 @JezzEllwoodGolf Yup agreed! Sometimes “because it’s not a gimmie” or “I wanna see it” is enough of an explanation

@brasscogg @JezzEllwoodGolf I would wonder why an explanation would even be needed. Pretty self explanatory.

Bogey Wilcox@brasscogg·1d

@gatorsfan97 @JezzEllwoodGolf Right, that’s why if someone questions why they aren’t being given a gimmie, I happily oblige and tell them why. Still meat on that bone is about all the info I’ll give. Or I just tell them to grow up, be a man, and make it if it’s such an easy putt!

gatorsfan97@gatorsfan97·1d

@brasscogg @JezzEllwoodGolf The idea and spirit of a gimmie/concession are part of the official rules - no need to pull the flag (I've had too many bounce off the stick to ever leave it in) on a 6 inch putt, tap it in, replace the flag. Anyone expecting an "its good" on a 3 foot putt is not a serious golfer

@BigSwingTempo If I knew my opponent was missing putts on purpose, I’d go ahead and press every hole for the rest of the match😆

Big Swing Tempo@BigSwingTempo·1d

@brasscogg Correct. However, he’s 10 strokes better than me in handicap. Better putter by far. I was playing to not lose. Happy I took the match that far to begin with

Golf etiquette question for everyone: I was playing a buddy in a match. Was tied going into the 16th hole. On the green we essentially had the same 10 foot putt. If I two putted and he one putted, he’d win the hole. So I purposely aimed and missed the cup so he couldn’t get a read. He ended up missing the putt and was big time mad I did that. I was thinking from a strategy standpoint that if I bet he’d miss the putt, I’d tie the hole. If I gave him a read, he’d be more likely to make it. Good or bad move? Against the spirit of the game?

@JezzEllwoodGolf It’s absolutely of relevance why you’ve decided not to give someone a gimmie lol If you’re justifiably denying a gimmie then it’s easy to explain to someone why, so they can quit bitching and hit the putt and learn not to ask for gimmies like that in the future

English

Jezz Ellwood@JezzEllwoodGolf·1d

Why would you? It's of no relevance why you've decided not to concede it...

Bogey Wilcox@brasscogg

@JezzEllwoodGolf Why wouldn’t you explain why you aren’t giving someone a putt?

Bogey Wilcox@brasscogg·1d

@gatorsfan97 @JezzEllwoodGolf If we’re that serious about the rules then we wouldn’t be doing gimmies in the first place

English

gatorsfan97@gatorsfan97·1d

@brasscogg @JezzEllwoodGolf Because you run the risk of violating Rule 10 2a and losing the hole with any reason you give them. saying, "because that is a slippery left to right" ... you lose the hole. you effectively gave them advice on how the putt breaks, which is a no-no.

Without looking into it, I assumed it was so all games had the same rules. Some places the hydration break might be necessary, so they had to allow all games this rule

Dave Helman@davehelman_

I’ve got zero issue if we’re playing in 88+ degrees outside. Hydration break in an air conditioned dome so you can air four commercials is some shameful, cynical stuff.

@Tsmith47 @RobertStock6 Isn’t your justification that the world didn’t care about women’s soccer and that’s why they aren’t as good the exact thing I just said as to why the US isn’t good at men’s soccer? And why US women are good? Lol

English

Travis@Tsmith47·2d

@brasscogg @RobertStock6 It actually doesn’t explain that. The rest of the world generally ignored women’s soccer until rather recently. We had a head start. ⚽️ first countries that already had the culture caught, and in some instances, passed the 🇺🇸 women in pretty short time.

Robert Stock@RobertStock6·2d

The best athletes as kids are naturally good at all the sports, in the US they rarely stick with soccer for a slew of different reasons. That’s all the thinking I care to do on that topic.
