SwingVision - Where Are the Close-ups?

The always witty David Feherty recently proclaimed CBS' a "weapon of mass instruction." A brilliant pun, it is a great summary of the slow motion technology. It has been an invaluable tool in my never-ending quest to understand this perpetually perplexing game!

Over the years, SwingVision has evolved with advances in technology. It added color to the close-up camera, upgraded the resolution to high definition (HD) and added a mobile camera to evaluate live swings. However, I think that SwingVision has taken two steps forward and one step back. For some reason they have abandoned the close-up camera from their arsenal. Once featured every time, it is now only utilized once in a blue moon. This is highly unfortunate because it was my favorite feature. There's so much that you can learn by seeing a close-up of club-to-ball impact at 12,500 frames per second!

Here's an old SwingVision of Tiger hitting iron off the tee that shows you what I mean:



C'mon CBS, please bring back the SwingVision close-up cam!

As always, a good topic and a good post. However, I don't think you mean "never-ending understanding." Unless you have infinite understanding you mean "never-ending QUEST for understanding." Also, I do wish you'd post more often. :-)

Feherty is a riot! His comments on the Tiger Woods Legacy DVD's are classic.

Irreverent golf observations. A weblog not afraid to opine or offend about that ridiculous game called golf.

Golf Grouch Summary

I love golf but I hate it almost as much. Once a true golf hack, I eventually attained a single-digit handicap. Unfortunately, that was short-lived. Contact me at
