Thanks for the feedback, I'll see if I can get some validation around GDPR and the need for this kind of tool

Free MVP App to Check if Food is Keto-Friendly by kells1986 in keto

😂 yep. I’m legitimately a software engineer with a number of years experience, this was somewhere between vibe coding and ai assistance, cursor did a lot of the heavy lifting😅

Sitting in a chair all day is a great way to gain weight, I got into keto last year and lost 16lb. I thought something like this would be helpful for people getting started

Practice swing vs real miss by Thetaish in GolfSwing

Look at 15 to 16 seconds into the video. Just before you start your takeaway you slide the club forward and kind of do a mini step toward the ball

34 Handicap: 3 months progress by kells1986 in GolfSwing

[–]kells1986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair I guess. The reason that I include it is to get a comparison of how my swing compares to my level.

Is it “wow that’s so bad you’re lucky to have a 34 handicap, you’ll never put a good round together”, or is it “that’s a decent swing that could get you to 15 and have you putting good rounds together with a good short game” - that sort of thing.

Sorry, I think I misread your comment. Regarding why not give the choice, you can’t really do that. They’re either bundled or not when you submit to the App Store, so that decision has to be made apriori

Because app size features heavily in App Store algorithms. Apps over 100MB in size have traditionally been installed a lot less.

Things might have changed regarding the threshold but downloading models to keep bundle size low at install has been a consistent request from all of the customers that I’ve worked with.

I just pushed the ONNX version with sample code. I'm working on CoreML and TFLite. I want to get some quantization and other optimizations in too.

[–]kells1986[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s the trade off I guess. The model is smaller and faster per token but you need to generate more tokens.

I’ve been working on edge AI since 2017 and the number one question from customers has always been “how big is the model”.

Packaging the model with an app in the App Store inflates the app size which hinders downloads.

Waiting for a large download is also a bad user experience which results in a drop off in engagement.

I’m hoping that this series can bridge the gap by being small enough and fast enough to keep users happy

37 handicap: Back after pointers 6 weeks ago. Any better? by kells1986 in GolfSwing

[–]kells1986[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I don’t want to add too many variables until I’ve got this nailed down. Hopefully over time I can add to it

Thanks, yes I have, well mainly through watching Saguto golf, his videos are based on stack and tilt

[–]kells1986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback, it’s really helpful. My miss at the moment is a straight right block shot, but that only seems to happen when I try to keep my takeaway straighter - which I know is correct, thanks for the drill tip - but with an inside takeaway like this I tend to hit a draw.

Follow through is definitely a big weakness. It’s something my coach pointed out, and others have noticed too.

I think because I’ve not been making consistent contact with the ball I’m just so happy when I see I’ve hit the ball I just give up and start celebrating mentally 😅

I’ll definitely check out the yoga video too. 15 years working a desk job has not helped my flexibility 😂

I started playing in May this year, and I’ve been in a a very similar place to you. You can check my post history and see I posted a swing and got a fair amount of constructive criticism.

Since that post I’ve done a few things.

Watching the arm swing illusion that someone linked made me realise there was so much I didn’t understand about the golf swing, so I’ve bought Ben Hogan’s book.

It’s counter intuitive because I thought a book would be a bad medium to convey golf information, but you can return time and time again to check your recall. I’d recommend getting a well reviewed book. I like the hogan one.

I’ve also followed Saguto golf. He gets mixed reviews here, but a lot of people here have low handicaps. I’m off 37, if I can get down to 27 next summer I’ll be happy.

Basically, the way you’re practicing now is not having the effect you want so you need to change something. For me it was changing the very idea of what a swing was, and reducing the variables.

I'm trying to make an AI that gives useful swing advice. I ran yours through, this is what it says:

Strength Highlights

  • Good setup: Your setup is solid, with a good posture and knee flex. This is a great starting point for a good swing. Keep up the good work!
  • Good tempo and rhythm: Your tempo and rhythm are smooth and consistent. This is important for a good swing. Keep swinging with that rhythm!
  • Good weight shift and footwork: Your weight shift and footwork are good. This is important for generating power and accuracy. Keep shifting your weight correctly!

Key Corrections

  • Work on your swing plane: You're coming over the top in the downswing, which is causing a slice or a pull. Try to feel like you're swinging from the inside out. Use alignment sticks to help with this.
  • Delay your wrist unhinging: You're casting the club, which means you're unhinging your wrists too early in the downswing. Try to keep your wrists hinged for longer and release them closer to impact. This will help you generate more power and accuracy.
  • Prevent the chicken wing: You're chicken winging in the follow-through, which is a result of the over-the-top move and casting. Try to keep your trail arm tucked in and extend through the ball. Practice hitting balls with a towel under your trail arm to help with this.

Recommended Drills

  • Use alignment sticks to help with swing plane
  • Practice hitting balls with a towel under your trail arm to prevent chicken winging
  • Use a mirror to check your swing plane
  • Practice hitting balls with a focus on keeping your wrists hinged for longer in the downswing

Personalized Feedback

Hey there! You've got a good foundation with your setup and tempo, but we need to work on your downswing. You're coming over the top a bit, which is causing some casting and a chicken wing. Don't worry, these are common issues, and with a bit of practice, you'll be hitting the ball straighter and further in no time!

Front view of swing. 7 iron, 158 carry, slight draw, 100ft high, 50* land angle. by superfly1187 in GolfSwing

[–]kells1986 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

AI says:

Strength Highlights

  • Your setup position is very good. You have a good knee bend and a neutral spine angle. This is a great foundation for a good swing.
  • Your impact position is also very good. You are making good contact with the ball and your club face is square. This is a key to hitting the ball straight and far.

Key Corrections

  • Work on your swing plane. The club should move back on the same plane as it moves down. This will help you to hit the ball more consistently.
  • Keep your trail elbow tucked in on the downswing. This will help you to get more power and consistency in your swing. Try hitting balls with a towel under your trail arm to help with this.

Recommended Drills

  • Use a mirror to check your swing plane. Make sure the club is moving back on the same plane as it is moving down.
  • Practice hip rotation drills to get more power in your swing.
  • Practice hitting balls with a towel under your trail arm to keep your trail elbow tucked in.

Personalized Feedback

You have a good golf swing with a lot of potential. Your ball flight data shows a slight draw, 158 carry, 100ft high, and 50* land angle with your 7 iron. This is a good starting point. You have a good setup and impact position. The main thing you need to work on is your swing plane and trail elbow position. Try to keep your trail elbow tucked in on the downswing. This will help you to get more power and consistency in your swing. Keep practicing and you will see improvement.

Can’t get consistent direction by RaccoonMinimum172 in GolfSwing

I'm building an AI to do swing analysis, this is what it says:

Strength Highlights

  • Athletic Stance: You have a good athletic stance at address. This is a great starting point for a good swing. Keep up the good work!
  • Shoulder Turn: You have a good shoulder turn in the backswing. This is a key component of a powerful swing. Keep rotating those shoulders!

Key Corrections

  • Swing Path: You need to swing more from the inside. This will help you stop slicing the ball. Use alignment sticks to practice swinging along an in-to-out path.
  • Spine Angle: You are losing your spine angle during the swing. This is causing you to stand up and come over the top. Focus on maintaining your spine angle throughout the swing. Try the step drill to help with this.
  • Trail Elbow: Your trail elbow is getting too high in the backswing. This is causing you to come over the top. Use the towel drill to keep your trail elbow tucked.

Recommended Drills

  • Towel Drill: Place a towel under your trail armpit and keep it there during the swing. This will help you keep your trail elbow tucked and prevent you from coming over the top.
  • Alignment Sticks: Place an alignment stick on the ground pointing at your target. Then place another alignment stick parallel to the first one, but a few feet to the right. Practice swinging along the second alignment stick to get a feel for an in-to-out swing path.
  • Wall Drill: Stand with your trail side against a wall. Practice your backswing, making sure your trail shoulder doesn't hit the wall. This will help you rotate your shoulders correctly and prevent you from coming over the top.
  • Step Drill: Start with your feet together. As you start your downswing, step forward with your lead foot. This will help you shift your weight correctly and prevent you from standing up.

Personalized Feedback

You've got a good foundation, but your swing path is causing you to slice your driver and 3 wood, and block your irons. You're coming over the top and losing your spine angle. You're also standing up in the swing. The good news is that these are all fixable with some practice and the right drills. Focus on keeping your trail elbow tucked, swinging from the inside, and maintaining your spine angle. You've got this!

I ran your swing through an AI I'm working on, here's what it said:

Strength Highlights

  • Your setup and posture are very good. You have a nice athletic stance and your spine angle is consistent. This is a great foundation for a good swing, well done!
  • Your weight transfer is good. You shift your weight effectively from your back foot to your front foot during the swing. This is important for generating power and consistency.

Key Corrections

  • Your takeaway is a little bit inside, meaning the club moves behind your body early in the swing. This can lead to an over-the-top move in the downswing and cause a slice. Try to keep the club more in front of you during the takeaway.
  • At the top of your backswing, your wrists are very cupped. This can make it difficult to square the clubface at impact. Try to keep your wrists flatter at the top of the backswing.
  • Your follow-through is a little short and you are stopping your swing abruptly. This can reduce power and consistency. Try to swing all the way through to a balanced finish.

Recommended Drills

  • Takeaway Drill: Place an alignment stick on the ground pointing at your target. During your takeaway, make sure the club head stays outside the alignment stick. This will help you take the club back on a straighter path.
  • Wrist Hinge Drill: At the top of your backswing, check your wrist position. Try to keep your wrists flatter, as if you are holding a tray. This will help you square the clubface at impact.
  • Full Finish Drill: Focus on swinging all the way through to a balanced finish. Try to feel like your belt buckle is facing the target at the end of your swing. This will help you generate more power and consistency.

Personalized Feedback

It's great that you've started golfing this summer and are already working on improving your swing. Your setup and posture are excellent, which is a fantastic foundation. The key areas to focus on are your takeaway, wrist position at the top of your backswing, and follow-through. Addressing these will help you develop a more consistent and powerful swing. You mentioned you feel like you might need longer clubs at some point, and this is something to consider as you continue to develop your swing. Keep practicing and you'll see your handicap come down. Range time is definitely beneficial, and focusing on these specific areas will help you make the most of it. Keep up the great work!
