AI Tracks Golf Swing Mechanics Using 30 Body Points
What happened
Bryson DeChambeau uses a Google Cloud system with deep learning algorithms and proprietary 2D and 3D models. The system tracks more than 30 key points on the body, club, and ball through each phase of the swing including top of swing, impact, follow-through, and finish.
Why it matters
Athletes learn to replace subjective coaching notes with quantitative motion data. This changes how players review performance by turning every swing into measurable vectors rather than vague impressions.
Who's doing it
Bryson DeChambeau partnered with Google Cloud to test the AI swing analyzer. The system generates precise kinematic data that informs his training adjustments.
Try it
- Open Google Cloud Vertex AI documentation at https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai.
- Upload video of a golf swing and apply a pose estimation model to extract 30 body and club keypoints.
- Review the output metrics for swing phases and adjust your form based on the quantitative feedback.
