Problem
Traditional methods of analyzing a golf swing often rely on subjective observation or lab-based equipment, failing to provide objective, real-time feedback in authentic playing environments. This makes it difficult for golfers and coaches to accurately identify areas for improvement and track progress effectively.
Solution
Guided Knowledge's Dragonfly Golf offers a 3D motion capture system that delivers precise, measurable swing analysis directly on the course or practice facility. The system comprises a smart suit worn by the golfer and interactive player and coaching applications. The smart suit captures detailed movement data, which is then visualized through a customized 3D avatar and performance metrics in the applications. This enables real-time feedback and remote collaboration between players and coaches, facilitating data-driven training and skill development.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes professional and elite amateur golfers, as well as golf coaches seeking objective, data-driven insights to enhance training programs and improve player performance.
