Not even close. You don't even have 30 frames. Until you see a golf swing at 320 frames a second you will not have a clue what is really going on. This is one of the biggest reasons golf swings are analyzed incorrect. There was never enough frames to see what is really going on. Now with the new Casio camera or cameras like it, is and it is going to change the way we analyze the swing and make corrections in the golf swing.

New cameras
So do you think Tally is doing anything revolutionary John? Even at 30fps I see wrists and arms being used.

I agree with you re the cameras have you got the new casio? I recently bought the Sony TG3 (TG1 in the states I think) which is a very portable HD camcorder. A nice little feature it has is super slow mo recording where it records at 240fps. Downside is it can only do this for a 3 second clip but thats enough for a golf swing as long as you know when the waggles have stopped. Also means you need a friend with you to record your own swings. I havent found any analysis software that can deal with the files (.MTS) yet so have to convert them first which loses quality.

Its amazing the things you spot at this speed that you wouldnt see with normal recording (24fps in the UK so even worse for us!).

Funny how the commentators dont seem to see anything new even with minolta swing vision.

I have a Casio and it is fantastic as well as easy to use. The output is in MOV (Quicktime) format. I sent Yoda a couple of swing clips of my son but unfortuantely his PC would not play them. I have no problem playing them in Quicktime 7.0 or V1 software.

You can find samples on Youtube such as this golf swing

No nothing special about it. It is just a training aid that helped the inventor so he put it out.

Now if have a swing trainer like the Power Angle Pro and it has helped thousands of golfers and is used by top teaching pros and major tour winners you have something.

The Power Angle Pro is in its 8th year and still going stronger than ever.

This link has many of the top tour pros swing in super slow motion (320 or more frames per second).

The great thing about super slow motion is it allows you to see different pivots, takeaways, loading and releases.

At 30 frames or even 60 frames per second many of these swings would look similar.

With the super slow motion (320 or more frames per second) many look different.

Enjoy

Sorry to disappoint you purehitter....I probably could break it down more to about 50 frames but I am almost at my limit on space....if 300 frames are needed to know what's going on....I'm out of business posting on this site
