"Instant live
video feedback is an advanced and extremely effective tool I use every
day" Ken Doherty,
PGA Golf
Professional, Palm
Beach Gardens FLInstantly link Feeling to
Real Motion
All students have difficulty learning
new swing path paterns.
Close the capture-analyze-retry
cycle, let students feel the new patern and get the vital instant
feedback to confirm the position.
MotionCoach's
unique “JustDraw” interface, gives you the total flexibility of which tools to bring
to the screen. Combine, Side by Side, Lines, Pictures,
... and now live blended video at any time.
You can make split second decisions
and change the screen dynamically to communicate better
to the student golfer.
Assisted Practice
How many times have
you worked out a drill for someone, only to come
back 5 minutes later to find them back on old
movements?
Multiply yourself and improve the
bottom line. While students practice drills with the
computer, you can be working with other
students, but deliver personal instruction to all.
Instant feedback provides a guideline to the student,
so they have a solid framework to
practice in.
Superimposed swing models and lines to
create a Virtual Framework allowing students
to feel the new movement while doing it, resulting in
better and faster learning, more strongly engrained into
the person’s memory.

Faster learning through combining instant feedback, stored video.
Show on one
screen, what the person is doing wrong, what it should
be like, and where they are. Enable the student to
believe and understand. Demonstrate faults and the
preferred motion.

Head Mounted
Display (HMD) units are commonly called Virtual Reality
glasses because of their initial application in creating
computer-generated environments. Their application in
sport instruction provides a new way to channel motion
feedback to a individual. Live video feed from cameras
and lines and other drawing tools can be used to create
a virtual template of the movement that the person is
attempting to learn.
In
the case of Golf the student is attempting to learn a new
club swing motion. Prior to HMD technology the only way
to for a person to see their movement was either through
a mirror or post movement. “Post Movement” means the
movement is reviewed after via some recorded method
(Video camera tape, computer). The mirror solution is a
good solution but has the drawback of being only one
angle and the person must move their heads to view the
mirror.
In
contrast the HMD allows the person to monitor their
movement from any angle, and without moving their heads.
The advantages are numerous for learning, a complex
movement. Also the HMD does not take 100% of the
person’s vision only the top 66% of the person’s vision
is used, this prevents the person from becoming dizzy or
disoriented. The practice of the movement with a HDM is
done slowly so that the new movement can be felt during
practice.
The
instant feedback is the best way for demonstrating the
accuracy of the person’s drill practice. Once the person
learns the feeling of the new movement, then the glasses
can either be ignored and full speed movement is
practiced, or the glasses can be removed. Once removed
the system can be used in post movement mode, to confirm
the new movement. MotionCoach is unique in that it can
quickly change from post movement mode to live feedback
mode. The modes can even be combined to maximize and
optimize the feedback to the person.
Yes, this is an
amazing break-through in golf instruction, but it is
only part of the full MotionCoach system.
The true power of MotionCoach is
that this can be easly combined with other computer
video analysis techniques like Side by Side, Static
Overlaid lines and analysis of previously captured
video.
Because of its “JustDraw” interface the
golf instructor has total flexibility of which tools to
bring onto the screen. The Instructor can make split
second decisions and change the screen dynamically to
communicate better to the golfer.
