Try the Same Swing Tech That Measures Tour Swings on TV: Experience OPTIMOTION at GOLFTEC

Plenty about the major championship golf you see on television is inaccessible to the average player. You won't be getting inside the ropes—or, in the case of The Masters—getting a lifetime Series Badge—anytime soon. But there IS an aspect of the viewing experience you can replicate. The OPTIMOTION technology used to analyze swings on television telecasts is the same powerful tool used by GOLFTEC coaches in centers nationwide.

Some of the most popular swings on Tour have come under the OPTIMOTION microscope. From Scottie Scheffler to Justin Thomas to even vintage Jack Nicklaus, it's easy to see why analysts like Mark Immelman trust this tool to help amateur players learn about why elite swings work so well.

OPTIMOTION uses two high-speed cameras positioned to capture face-on and down-the-line views. The system processes more than 4,000 data points per swing without requiring markers, sensors, or specialized clothing. It produces a 3D model of the golfer’s motion that goes far beyond the traditional two dimensional video analysis. Key variables measured include shoulder and hip turn angles, lateral sway, spinal tilt, knee and hip bend, wrist kinematics, and hand-path sequencing. Each player's data set is compared against GOLFTEC’s database of more than 14 million swings, including those of Tour professionals, to produce color-coded deviations and reference lines overlaid directly on the player's swing image.

Swing coaches can pause the swing at any point and isolate specific areas of interest. Since the feedback happens in real time within a standard lesson bay, students can test adjustments immediately. Performance feedback across thousands of OPTIMOTION-equipped lessons shows that 96 percent of measured golfers shoot better scores, with an average handicap reduction of seven strokes. Integration with video lets instructors to combine powerful kinematic analysis with visual swing and club-delivery information in a way that is intuitive and familiar.

Just the like presentation of that familiar broadcast that signals the beginning of the spring golf season.
