摘要
Understanding how an athlete moves can improve both technique and safety, yet outside the laboratory technique is still assessed by eye. We present a pipeline that detects named golf swing faults from ordinary video, without markers or calibration. Instead of learning end to end, it tracks body pose and the clubhead in a body-centered frame, and classifies the biomechanical quantities a coach would measure, such as the height of the clubhead above the swing plane, with shallow boosted trees. We demonstrate the approach on two common faults, coming over-the-top (OTT) and early-extension (EE). On 160 swings and 143 swings from public sources it detects OTT and EE with a cross-validated ROC-AUC of 0.975 and 0.911 respectively. Because every feature is a biomechanical quantity a coach already uses, measured at a known phase of the downswing, each decision can be traced to the signals and the moments of the swing that drove it. The signals the model relies on most are the same ones a coach checks when diagnosing these faults. The pipeline processes phone video on a consumer laptop in seconds, so it could feasibly be developed into an app for golfers of all abilities and extended to other sports in which technique is judged against a biomechanical reference.
