I cannot understand Korean and saw this in a magazine while waiting at the hairstylist lobby.

What on earth is this? Has anyone ever seen such thing? Something tells me it won't feel natural.

I cropped the photo and fed it to Google reverse image search and got a photo and an article. Below is the Google Translate machine translation of it. I don't know Korean, but know enough about Asian languages to handwrite out the magazine text and see what the translator threw out, but that got old fast, took too long, gave up after 8 words. Should have tried the image search off the bat.

In the article, IOT is IoT, Internet of Things, which is basically stick wifi, gps, cell radio, and other stuff like sensors in something and it's IoT.

@nevets88 you are awesome, that is super cool. 

Today I will meet some Koreans here and I will ask them.

Somehow this reminds me of Sigourney Weaver in the powerloader in Aliens.

Ok - I spoke with some Korean golfers here and they said with laughter:

1. It is a hydraulic AI machine with a library of professional player postures and swings

2. It is aimed at beginners who cannot afford golf lessons and will be available at driving ranges

3. Strap it on like a backpack. The machine will probably record and then guide your body's movement to suggest improvements

4. IoT, 4th Industrial revolution buzz words used ... sounds like some university specialized in robotics was sponsored to develop this.

Personally, I would not go near this thing.

Hopefully the machine moves very slowly. I imagined something like this before. Basically a body harness that will gently put you into a good golf swing so you can see ridiculously far off you’ve always been. Of course too many different swings that are ‘good.’ But it’d be interesting to feel what, say, Adam Scott is doing...without tearing any ligaments.

Do you want me to talk?

No, I want you to die!


I've been saying if you could do that scene in the movie Ghost, where the one person takes over another person's body, and that person could feel the moves, that would make teaching easier. This, though quite clumsy, is pretty much that.

Wouldn't surprise me. Nothing much about the golf posture or swing feels natural!

    • I mean we're going to win two or three of the next four super bowls, so copying might be a good idea... 😉🦅 Of course, we've gotta stay ahead of the curve, so everyone started drafting DTs, we went with LBs 🤣
    • Thank you. That's probably what I'll respond with. Yes. For the match, we played the temporary greens and counted those scores. Not ideal, but it worked (and we split the holes, so no damage done really). For handicap posting, it changed a 520 yard par 5 into a ~400 par 4 and a 380 yard par 4 into a 130 yard par 3. That's why I'm asking about handicap posting (and did not put this in the rules of golf subforum).
    • Day 4: Worked on short game shots focusing on getting my weight moving forward on the backswing and follow-through and bringing the low point forward. 
    • Did you play the 2 holes with their temporary greens.  If so, I don't see why your score shouldn't count as it would normally.  I get the point that the hole does change but if everybody is playing the same conditions then I think it is fair
    • Just a suggestion.. do a left hand-only 'trial'. You can do in your living room. Ensure arm structure stays intact throughout the swing and the wrist does not break down until well after impact. It will possibly help you identify if it's a right side (trail) over/early-dominance, weight-shift timing, pivot stall, hand path issue, some combo of these, etc.
