@chambleebrandel nice work talking through the OptiMotion segments on Golf Central this week. 👍👍👍

@Paige_Mackenzie nice work on Golf Central last week. You crushed the OptiMotion spots. 👍👍👍

@DickBlandTrackr @flushingitgolf Could be just about anyone making this content for them. 😉

@flushingitgolf How are they generating those weight %?

CBS’s technical analysis of swings on the range at the Masters is so good. More of this please 👌

@adamrank Dear Best Friend, Glad we got hang today. Let's do it again soon. Brock Bowers at #11. Just sayin' 😃

@adamrank thanks for hanging out today. Let's do it again sometime. 👍

L.A. Fired Department Captain with some skill getting some OptiMotion treatment. Nice work breaking it down, @TrevorImmelman @GOLFTEC

Another year of GOLFTEC's OptiMotion on CBS. It's been a great partnership, and look forward to doing even more at this year's Signature Events @TrevorImmelman

@dl90210 @GOLFTEC Thanks for the support per usual, sir!

@nickclearwater @GOLFTEC Nice job, as always, Nick

I think this is one of the better demos of how to play golf AND how to make the TV broadcasts interesting using data. @GOLFTEC #optimotion

@golfsciencelab @4golfonline I have seen this drill, yes. 😀

Have you seen this half swing drill? Got some great advice on my #roadto180 from @4golfonline and @nickclearwater in our latest episode. We had some good laughs and I learned a bunch. youtu.be/GhimhucyrP0

@RudyWriter @GolfDigest @blackburngolf @HankHaney @stanutley @RickSmithGolf On. Word. Thanks for being a good friend and look forward to working together more when you get back from vacation. 👍

Some professional news: After 1.4 million words and 400+ shoots, Friday was my last day at @GolfDigest. It was an incredible privilege to collaborate with GD Teaching Professionals Randy Smith, @blackburngolf, @HankHaney, @stanutley and @RickSmithGolf (among others) and watch them in action with the best players in the world. Inside the building, @AlanPittmanGD made everything he touched better. I got to write about golf, cars and money. Any complaints would be straight ungrateful. I’ll be able to share some details soon about new projects in and out of golf. For now, I’m going on vacation.

@DennisSalesGolf Sway blocks your turn. 😉 Surprised you didn't know that.

@nickclearwater I’m so confused. I thought the best in world DIDN’T have the dreaded reverse spine angle or all that slide towards the target? Did you somehow convince Scheffler to mess with everyone? If so, how did you get him to do that? BTW… it would have been better with the green shirt. #justsaying 🤔🤷‍♂️😆

@jacksongolf @Fit_For_Golf Understood. Each single camera motion system will be incredibly different in how they work and use calculations to solve for different occlusions and lifting processing. I've seen a lot of generic comments that all 1 camera 2D to 3d systems are the same and that is just not true.

@nickclearwater @Fit_For_Golf Totally agree and I know it's in its infancy but I have played around with every app available and it's just not there yet. Sportsbox, motion2coach, onform. My other point is the announcers struggle with credible swing information anyway much less 3d interpretation.

Do we have any confirmation on how accurate the data from this system is?

@jacksongolf @Fit_For_Golf For sure. There are variables that complicate the quality of the key point data. Most golfers with basic swings in a controlled environment will get the best data return.

@nickclearwater @Fit_For_Golf I guess my point was markerless 3d capture is tough. When a hoodie or a piece of clothing can throw it off, accuracy has to be questioned when displaying down to a decimal.

@SergeantShultz1 @Fit_For_Golf Takes a lot of smart people, time, and of course... Money to make OptiMotion work.

@Fit_For_Golf Extrapolating 3d movement from 2d camera probably doesn’t work well.

@BlairDavies93 @Fit_For_Golf That's a very blanket statement with no experience on the measurement system. 🤷 The numbers displayed are within a cm of any good mo cap system.

@Fit_For_Golf They are all crap. Only worth it with the nodes attached to joints in specific spots otherwise it’s just a guess.

@stevemooregolf @Fit_For_Golf Very hard... Yes. Impossible... No. Everything in the world is calculated. Even the things that are claimed to be measured are truly calculated.

Very challenging to be accurate with one camera systems due to occlusion. Laterals might be accurate to a point but algorithms are working the rest. Even 3D systems with sensor placements can be inaccurate to a point with shifting sensors. It really depends on how much you are using the data to draw conclusions.

@jacksongolf @Fit_For_Golf Bryan, did u watch the segment? The red line is a visual of Chef at address. There are no lines drawn to critique. 🤷

@Fit_For_Golf Please don't look into specifics. Lines on 2d video are 100% accurate. 🤦‍♂️
