Method and apparatus for low resolution golf swing image capture analysis

A system for generating a golf swing analysis output of a golfer's swing, the system comprising:

• at least one camera for obtaining a plurality of images associated with one or more portions of the golfer's swing;
• a computer in communication with the at least one camera, the computer being configured to:
• calculate position or motion data associated with one or more of a golfer and a golf club based on the obtained images;
• and
• generate at least one swing analysis output from the calculated position or motion data, the swing analysis output identifying at least one of swing characteristic information and/or swing profile information associated with the golfer's swing;
• and
• provide a swing improvement recommendation based upon the generated swing analysis output.

A method for generating a golf swing analysis output of a golfer's swing, comprising:

• obtaining a plurality of images associated with two or more portions of the golfer's swing from at least one camera;
• calculating a first parameter associated with one or more of a golfer and a golf club based on the obtained images from a first portion of the golfer's swing using a computer;
• calculating a second parameter associated with one or more of the golfer and the golf club based on the obtained images from a second portion of the golfer's swing using the computer;
• comparing the first parameter and the second parameter to generate a swing analysis output from the computer identifying at least one of swing characteristic information and/or swing profile information associated with the golfer's swing;
• and
• providing a swing improvement recommendation based upon the generated swing analysis output.
