This podcast excerpt introduces Sportsbox AI, a cutting-edge 3D golf swing analysis technology. Henrik Jentsch from Golf Academy 360° explains how even Bryson DeChambeau used this innovation to prepare for his 2024 US Open victory. The technology is available in two formats: a studio version for comprehensive analysis and a mobile app for wider accessibility. Both versions allow golfers to precisely measure body movements and compare them to professional standards, helping improve their game effectively. Sportsbox AI 3D played a crucial role in DeChambeau’s US Open win.

• Pre-Tournament Preparation:
A week before the US Open, Bryson DeChambeau used Sportsbox AI in collaboration with Dana Dalquist to obtain objective data about his ball flight. He was struggling with a ball flight that started right and stayed right.

• Swing Analysis:The Sportsbox team collected hundreds of swings using just an iPhone to analyze the data. They discovered a strong correlation between his sway gap (pelvic lateral movement) and his ability to hit a push draw.

• Precise Measurements:On his best swings, his sway gap was between -1.7 and -2.2 inches, while on poorer swings, it was closer to -1 inch. The difference—less than an inch—was nearly impossible to detect with the naked eye.

• Fine-Tuning During the Tournament:During every practice round, warm-up, and post-round session at the US Open, DeChambeau’s sway gap was precisely dialed in using Sportsbox AI.

• Result:This precise fine-tuning of a tiny movement allowed DeChambeau to consistently reproduce his desired ball flight, ultimately leading to his victory. The technology enabled him to detect and correct subtle movements that would be invisible using traditional methods.

Summary:Sportsbox AI 3D provided DeChambeau with objective data and highly accurate measurements of his body motion, particularly his sway gap. This allowed him to identify and optimize those small but critical differences in his swing that led to his successful ball flight at the 2024 US Open.

Sportsbox AI is available in two main formats:Desktop (Studio) Version:

Ideal for coaches or as an addition to a home golf simulator for users who want to build a professional-level practice station. It uses a dedicated high-speed camera and software running on a home simulator PC. The studio version offers two main modes:

• Assessment Mode: Analyzes the swing.

• Training Mode: Provides targeted drills and goals to improve movement.

A key advantage is that every swing is saved, building an extensive catalog for progress tracking. This version is paid and starts around $5,000, with the price increasing based on the number of high-speed cameras added. It’s expected to be widely adopted in coaching and training facilities.

Mobile App Version:

Brings Sportsbox AI’s 3D motion capture technology to everyone, everywhere. It uses the high-speed cameras built into smartphones to measure the golf swing. Although it uses the same technology as the studio version, it is much more portable and can be used both indoors and outdoors—even on the course during practice rounds.

Like the studio version, it creates 3D models and delivers detailed measurements. The mobile app includes a free base version that allows users to record a few swings and gain insights into their data. Premium subscriptions are also available starting at under $10/month, offering unlimited swing recordings.

This version is perfect for golfers who want to practice at home, share swings with their coaches, or work on optimizing swing mechanics.
