Just curious.
When do you expect to get the system?
And when do you expect it to be fully armed and operational?

Two days after I know the exact date of the answer to the first question.

I'm waiting on the netting to ship so I can schedule the guy to come out and install the cameras, basically.

I'm curious about how Gears works for instruction. I have seen a bunch of AMG videos where they show various unnamed "tour players" with XX wins and $XX million dollars of winnings, and sometimes comparison of said tour player versus an amateur. Do the tour player Gears data come as part of the system, or does AMG have that in their database because they have captured a bunch of professionals? And does Gears have some sort of reference parameter library so instructors can identify elements of their student's swing that need work?

I could give a lengthy response to that. And I will try to later today.

Gonna leave this page open in a tab as my reminder.

Cool, thanks! I'm really interested, from an instructor's perspective, how the insane amount of information Gears provides is used versus video and launch monitor, and how instructors who use Gears are able to identify meaningful data versus noise.

Honestly when I watch AMG, I appreciate the concepts they present, but amount of data can sometimes feel overwhelming as a learner. Maybe it's simpler than I am making it out to be for people who have spend their lives teaching golf swings.

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
