Biofeedback Training – Shoulders in all 3 axes at Top of Backswing

July 31, 2010 by Phil Cheetham

Susie Corona and I use the AmmTrainer3D software with one AmmSensor between her shoulder blades to demonstrate how we can effectively train the top of back swing posture.  The software is set to give a positive tone when she is in the correct posture for all three angles; forward bend, side bend and turn.  This method allows the golfer to quickly recognize where they should be … [Read more...]

3D is Like Filming with an Infinite Number of 2D Video Cameras

July 30, 2010 by Phil Cheetham

TPI Instructor - Gord Workum just wrote an article explaining in simple terms why 3D motion capture is better than 2D video (See previous article in this blog). Gord stated that 3D quantifies the motion of the golf swing objectively; this is true, but one might immediately think “But wait, I can measure distance and angles on a 2D video screen by drawing lines.” Yes, you can … [Read more...]

3D Is Better!

July 29, 2010 by Phil Cheetham

Here is an article written by Gord Workum; a Titleist Performance Institute Instructor on why 3D Motion Capture (and Analysis) is better than simple 2D video analysis with regard to the golf swing.  I like it and I will follow up with another article adding my point of view. The only way to measure the efficiency of a golf swing is with 3D Motion Capture; with 2D one can just … [Read more...]

Trampoline and Tumbling: Extreme Gymnastics!

July 3, 2010 by Phil Cheetham

In December of last year my daughter Jennifer asked me to get her into tumbling.  She cartwheels everywhere in the house and is more times upside-down than on her feet.  So I finally enrolled her in a tumbling class.  After two beginner sessions she was hooked and the coach immediately asked her to be in the “pre-team” class.  At that point she told the coach “my Dad is an … [Read more...]

Variations in the Downswing Kinematic Sequence of Golf: Stretching, Riding, Fanning

June 28, 2010 by Phil Cheetham

Variations in the Downswing Kinematic Sequence of Golf: Stretching, Riding, Fanning

Three methods of beginning the downswing kinematic sequence are explained; they are: Stretching: Proximal segment precedes the distal segment, stretching the muscles, putting them in eccentric contraction hence providing more force for later in the downswing. Riding: Proximal and distal segment turn at the same speed in the downswing, the muscles are in isometric … [Read more...]
