Rick Smith Shadow Pro...

[DBake]

Has anyone seen this or used this, I just saw it on the golf channel as an infomercial; Shadow Pro by Rick Smith.

Basic overview of this product is a video camera that plugs into your lap top computer with a golf specific video analysis that runs your swing and gives your person feedback from Rick System. For example, using the golf club attachment the cd/dvd can tell if you are taking your club too far to the inside and Rick pops up and tell you how to correct the problem.

I found this product interesting because of the technology aspect but I’m not into gimmicks.

I too was intrigued by the technology of this product and have not been disappointed. The infomercial shows how it works but to actually see it work, on your own swing is really cool. The first viewing of my swing in Rick's shadow was amazingly informative. I was able to view the swing in a step by step fashion and my numerous swing flaws were easy to see. I've had my swing video taped and analyzed before but it never actually helped me to correct the flaws in my swing. This program provides instant feedback, in a framework that I can understand.

To specifically answer your question this is definitely not a gimmick and is really cool technology. I'm looking forward to spending a great deal of time with it.

Glad it work for you! Although, the same golf swing is not completely the same for two different people, that my problem with this product.

Ha! I wish I did work for Rick. I'm sure I'd spend less time in my office staring at this computer.....

David Leadbetter just came out with something very similar as well.

This one allows you to put your self on a side by side comparision.

Also for some years there has been available another product called V1. The only difference is you provide the video camera. V1 provides with comparison with swing like Tiger's and Mickelson. Howerver I think the only real use of these products is visual feedback. No product can beat a good lesson.
