DeChambeau buys Sportsbox AI to turn phone footage into swing data.
Bryson DeChambeau led investors who paid an eight-figure sum for Sportsbox AI in April. The app records a golfer on any smartphone camera and outputs a 3D motion-capture avatar that measures 25 joint angles and club-path metrics. The purchase price remains undisclosed beyond that bracket.
Users stop guessing swing faults and start iterating from precise kinematic numbers. The technique replaces subjective coach notes with repeatable measurements that update each practice session.
Bryson DeChambeau and his investor group now control Sportsbox AI after the April acquisition. The company reports active users across 40 countries and claims a 30 percent reduction in handicap for subscribers who log weekly avatar sessions.
Step 1: Download Sportsbox AI from the App Store or Google Play. Step 2: Record a full swing from face-on and down-the-line angles with your phone camera. Step 3: Review the generated 3D avatar and joint-angle table, then adjust grip or stance and record again to compare metric deltas.
