Pretty cool

Looks pretty interesting. I wouldn't mind giving it a go if I ever got the chance but I'm not quite convinced that it would be a great way to analyse your swing. There would be movements of other parts of your body that can't be captured by just the balance board and the controller that affect your swing so that's an issue. It's a cool concept though and if it got taken forward with newer technologies (motion sensors perhaps?) they could be onto something there.

It's an interesting concept but there are so many variables to what determines a perfect golf swing, that I have a feeling it could potentially do more harm than good.

That's exactly what I was thinking, I think a console game like this that really tracks all of the movement in the golf swing is going to take a few more years.

It's a good thing I don't have much faith in a computer to tell me these things. Because the TW games are already making me want a Wii sometimes. This would just put me over the edge.

Google the name of the developer and you'll see they have a stunning track record of producing the worst-reviewed games ever made. While I agree, the concept is pretty damn cool, the execution will probably be shit.

It uses the Balance Board too.

Could actually be really cool if they made a golf club you could attach the Wii remote and Wii Motion Plus too. And someone besides the worst developer on earth were creating it.

I think it might be a good tool to tell whether or not you're shifting your weight properly. Other than that, I'd just get Tiger 2010.
