stop this video at 56 seconds and tell me what you see....

Is that an optical illusion or does the shaft bend like that? That explains all my thin shots. ;-)

I think it's an optical illusion, and that it has something to do with the frame speed. Check out the shaft on Tom Bartlett's driver. Nothing like the above video, and Tom's Grafalloy Blue is under some serious stress. I don't know exactly how fast you have to swing to hit it 407, but my guess is "really freaking fast."

The only things that really strike me about that swing is that he's trying to swing like Hogan, but with a backswing that goes too far up and a downswing that's on the TSP, as far as I can tell. Also, at :56 his hips look pretty square for that far along in the DS. I don't know, what's the deal Michael?

It's the jello effect caused by rolling shutters used in most cmos sensors.

No way no how does the shaft bend that much during the swing unless you have a rope for a shaft.

A camera with a crappy shutter speed that records it's frames from top to bottom, thereby displaying a club that's grip is recorded at an earlier time than the clubhead.

There are two types of shutters.Rolling and global.Global shutters take an entire frame instantaneously so it doesn't have this effect.The old CCD sensors use global shutters.

The latest cmos sensors uses rolling shutters which record from top to bottom.A fast shutter speed camera like the high speed Casio's will eliminate this problem.A slow shutter speed will make this effect worse.CCD cameras never had this problem even with a slow shutter speed.

Be careful when you buy the latest cmos cameras for the purpose of video analysis.Make sure the shutter speed is fast enough.The Casio's are the best.

Yeah, it's an optical illusion caused by the camera being used. I remember seeing a Nick Faldo swing where the shaft was bending like that and you knew there was no way Faldo's clubshaft bended like that and then it was noted that it's an optical illusion caused by the camera.

I thought Mike was alluding to something else.

It could be a combination of the shaft doesn't work for him because it is way too weak, and the shutter speed of the camera. I know i was filmed at 1000 fps on a new camera with a global shutter, hitting a 6-iron with a S-300 shaft in it. Looking at the film in slow motion, I though the club was going to snap in half it bent so much. My 6-iron swing speed is around 95 MPH, so the shaft was just way too weak, this guy might have the same problem.

There is simply NO way a steel shaft can bend that much during a golf swing.Not even Sadlowski with his 150mph swing can bend it that much.

If you don't believe it,put your weak shafted 6 iron in a vice and bend it the same amount shown in your video and then tell me you don't need a new shaft.

A slow shutter speed will result in shaft blur,not an extreme bend in the shaft.It's the rolling shutter effect.

upside down

What would happen if you turned the camera upside down.... then turned the recorded video right way round on computer? Anyone tried that?
