“These are sports-specific, not golf-specific, movements.”
Some businesses offer the scan as part of their health package as a diagnostic aid for employees with joint pain, Mousley said.
Audens Golf also has taken the DARI Motion system on the road to country clubs where members have had the analysis performed, he said.
The Gears 3D Motion Capture offers a 3D hitting bay that uses nine cameras to track every aspect of a swing. It records the player at 1,000 frames per second, then compares the swing with that of a golf professional of the same height and body type. The technology also is used to properly fit a player with clubs best suited for the player’s swing.
