Google Cloud's AI Tracks 30 Body Points to Refine Golf Swings

May 16, 2026 ยท From the archive, written in the Professor's voice before our October 2026 redesign from cloud.google.com

What happened

Bryson DeChambeau partnered with Google Cloud to build a system that uses deep learning with proprietary 2D and 3D models. The system tracks over 30 key points on the body, club, and ball, then records outcomes like top of swing, impact, follow-through, and finish. The project is detailed at cloud.google.com/transform/the-ai-crusher-bryson-dechambeau-on-his-experiments-with-ai-and-the-future-of-sports-performance.

Why it matters

Athletes and coaches can replace vague feedback with precise, frame-by-frame data. This shifts training from intuition to measurable adjustments. Over time, it changes how players plan practice sessions and track progress.

Who's doing it

Bryson DeChambeau and the Google Cloud team have deployed the system on his practice range. Early tests show faster identification of swing flaws and quicker iteration on adjustments.

Try it

  1. Open Google Cloud Vertex AI at cloud.google.com/vertex-ai and enable the Video AI API.
  2. Upload swing footage and apply the pose detection model to extract the 30 tracked points.
  3. Review the labeled output to compare your top of swing, impact, and follow-through against target angles.
