Golf Technology just gets better and better

In a few weeks time I have an appointment with my local golf pro and we are going to spend time on my swing to make sure that I am progressing in the right method and that I am not deviating from what I wanted to achieve. I have however just discovered a great little gadget for my home computer that lets me check to see how I am doing!

Motion Coach now have a home version of their software that you can hook up to a normal web cam and have your swing analyzed in a step by step system. This is great for those that don’t want to spend a great deal of money each month checking their swing to see how it is going and then spending time with the golf pro. Now it would seem we can go to the golf pro and tell him what we need to be working on.

All joking aside having a proper analysis of my swing was one of the best things I had ever done for my game, following the advice of the professional coach that showed me my step by step problems and then how to iron out those problems helped me drop a great deal of head speed and yet maintain the distances I was getting. In some cases reduction in head speed gave me more distance as the club was doing all of the work.

Technology has come on such a long way in the past 15 years that the game is becoming easier for all to participate, there is of course still the element of skill involved but the more and more technology grows the more benefits people will see in their game. Balls are now rounder, clubs are now more forgiving, gloves offer greater grip and don’t even get me started on how much drivers have evolved. Basically the world we live in has allowed for development within the game we love so I for one will not be fighting it but embracing it full on.

Speaking of which I am now off to test out another new set of golf irons that I will be reviewing tomorrow!
