Bryson DeChambeau Buys Sportsbox AI to Scale 3D Coaching
What happened
In April, Bryson DeChambeau led investors in acquiring Sportsbox AI for an undisclosed eight-figure sum. The company's 3D Golf app converts a phone video into a motion-capture avatar that displays swing mechanics. Source: CNN Business.
Why it matters
This acquisition demonstrates how accessible 3D capture can move from lab to consumer device. Readers see that expensive motion labs are no longer required for detailed biomechanical review. The technique encourages daily self-analysis instead of weekly coach visits.
Who's doing it
Sportsbox AI now serves over 50,000 golfers worldwide and reports a 35 percent average reduction in handicap for users who log 10 swings per week. Bryson DeChambeau uses the same platform to refine his own driver mechanics.
Try it
- Download the Sportsbox 3D Golf app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Record a 10-second swing video from the recommended side angle and generate the avatar.
- Compare your avatar's shoulder and hip angles against the app's pro template and adjust one plane before the next round.
