Technology always seems to
surprise us one way or another. With new technologies getting invented and
existing technologies being improved upon, it has become impossible to predict
what the future has in store for us.
Speaking of incredible
technologies, one innovative app that got my attention was the Swing Profile
App. This particular app is aimed towards golfers. Those who are interested in
golf know the intricacies of the sport. It isn't just hit the golf ball and
pray for it to reach the target, careful planning and calculation is what that
makes a truly magnificent golfer.
How Swing Profile works is that the app uses your device's camera and takes
a series of pictures while we do a swing. Then the compile program in the app
breaks down the video into a series of pictures or golf swing sequences. These golf swing sequences are then carefully
scanned for the various posture positions of the person who took the swing.
What's brilliant is that the
app breaks down the golf swing sequences and name them by your moves. The whole
thing just takes a few seconds. For example, if you took golfers swing and used
this app to do an analysis, the app names each frame by your posture. That is,
it names your moves like upswing, address, top, downswing, etc., making this
app a true golfer's companion.
Another feature of this app is
that it contains the swing profile databases of major players so you can use
their data as a reference. So boast to all of your friends when you have
perfected your moves with that of Tiger Woods. Normally we know that these
kinds of apps always falls short regarding reliability and repeatability.
What makes Swing Profile stand
apart is that they have perfected their method and recognition system by using
their system in various golf events like the NZ PGA Championships. So shout out
to all golfers out there, give this app a try, and you won't be disappointed.
