Using Artificial Intelligence to Provide Visual Feedback for Golf Swing Training

Abstract

Golf players spend hours perfecting their swing. It takes much practice and dedicated effort to train their body to make an effective swing. In order to train the body in such a way, golf players must be extremely mindful about the placement and motion of key body parts, such as wrists, elbows, shoulders, and torso. With correct placement and motion of key body parts, golf players can achieve great accuracy and consistency in their swings. In this research, we build on our previous work in evaluating the quality of a golf swing. Using a deep neural network, we are able to analyze a golf swing video, determine if it was an effective or ineffective swing, and provide feedback about the specific body parts that need improvement. This feedback can be used to improve player performance. Using this system consistently, a golf player can train their muscles and swinging technique.
