Abstract
A method of analyzing golf swings. A video camera assembly is used to record videos of the golf swings of a golfer and analyze his/her golf swing. The recorded video is first reduced to minimum required time of useful video data. This useful data is then divided into a plurality of frames. A plurality of key locations are identified in each frame and an analysis is conducted on various aspects of the golf swing by processing the video at each relevant frame. The faults in the swings are highlighted in each frame based on the plurality of key locations. The results are shown instantly to the user on the camera assembly. The user is also provided with recommendations to rectify the faults and can compare his/her swings with those performed by professional golfers. The videos are downloaded into a computer system and sent to a server, which also includes all the necessary software applications to automatically perform the analysis. The user can access a hosting website to review the results while playing the video
