Analysing my swing on the golf course with deWiz – Weekly Wedge: EP 2

In this, episode 2 of my new Weekly Wedge series, I show you how I have been capturing my golf swing data automatically as I play using my deWiz and its new ‘On-Course’ mode. I’ll also take a deep dive into my swing data using the deWiz app and show you how my swing data compares with a host of leading tour professionals including Henrik Stenson when I take a closer look at the data dashboard.

Hello welcome back to the channel now this is episode two of my brand new weekly wedge series if you missed episode one which dropped last week I was looking at a club gapping issue in my bag and hoping that you guys could help me to address that issue in this

Particular video for episode 2 I am going to tell you about this this is the dwiz now this is a golf swing analyzer it’s probably one of the best on the market at analyzing your golf swing and I’ve been using it for a while now when

Practicing in the garden or using it at the driving range and this week I tried out a brand new feature on the device which is the onour mode so I’ll tell you a bit more about that in just a minute now if you are interested in seeing how

I’ve used the do whz before to try and improve my swing Tempo then there’s a link in the description below to a previous video I worked on where I was basically practicing my swing in the garden and showing you how I could take my swing data and an analyze it and

Compare it with that of some tour professionals to hopefully try and improve my Tempo now this week I took the Diz out to my local golf club and in particular the small nine hole course to just test out how well the onc course mode works now basically what happens is

You put the Dez on your wrist so that’s the watch there you basically pair it with your phone you open the app you initiate a round and you play golf what what’s particularly good about this is it captures all of the data about each swing whilst you play and then after you

Finish playing you can basically take a look at all of the metrics for each swing each shot that you played and start to analyze it and I thought in this video I would just show you some of the data that I have collected now the important thing with this is you can’t

Actually view or edit the data as you play because it’s designed to be used in competitive matches so if you’re playing playing competitive Golf and you want to track all of your shots and all of that information then you can do so without worrying about being penalized the

Important thing to mention though is it’s not tracking your performance data in the same way that shot scope do so it’s not telling you how far you hit each shot what club you used if you missed the greens made the greens hit Fairways that kind of thing that’s very

Much what my short scope X5 does but this is actually analyzing all of the data about each individual golf swing so what I’m going to do now is I’m going to show you what the dwiz app looks like once you have finished your round and

What kind of data we can access that we have collected I’ll also overlay on screen my swings that are recorded during the round so if I’m talking about one particular swing I’ll just put that swing on a loop so you can see the actual swing the actual shot and we can

Talk about the data that we have captured so first of all when we go into the app we can look at all of our data for all of the swings and sessions that we’ve had but I want to focus this one here on February the 19th that’s the

Session that I captured 15 swings on now it is worth mentioning that I was playing the small Par 3 n hole course which means that I’m not using things like drivers four irons five irons basically everything between a seven iron and a putter was used and I tried

To purposely mix up my clubs so that I could collect quite a bit of data my thinking with this is I want to use this on a much more regular basis is when I’m playing to collect a lot more the sample’s quite small but hopefully it’ll

Give you an idea of just how we can actually utilize this data that the diiz is giving us access to so first of all you’ll see on this screen here this is a bit of information about my session so 80% of the shots were straight I

Actually shot one under par for that so the round was a really positive round but we can see if we’ve put any balls slightly left or really far left now we’re not talking about sort of Miss hits or anything like that this is recording the actual the decent swings

So where it’s got a green arrow forward that’s generally just a really good straight shot so we can see here under analysis with my a iron my average transition was 2 cm now I’ll dig a little bit deeper in a second about transition but your transition is basically the movement whether you’re

Over the top or under plane and you’re looking for around about 0 CM there okay there’s a bit of Tolerance but you’re generally looking for um 0 CM or in my case I’d probably prefer a negative number because positive means you’re over the top negative means you’re under

Then you can see we can see our data here for the transition on a seven iron and on my nine iron so there’s a slight difference between um the seven and8 when compared with the nine a little bit steeper um or a bit over the top should

I say with the the N iron but anyway what I’m going to do is I’m going to tap on show swings and then this shows you all of the shots that I played so there’s a couple of 60s in there there’s a couple of 56 and what I want to do

With this is I want to highlight a couple of the shots I know I hit really really well in terms of the distance the the ball flight and whatnot so let’s jump to Hole number six where I hit an a tire now I can tap on the little picture

Of the golfer here and this will actually show you the swing now of course the little um model there that’s swinging will be generic but you can see some information about what the diiz has tracked in my swing so this is a down line view if I press play you can see

The blue line is the back swing and the green line is the down swing so in this case it is a little bit over the top and that’s where the transition comes in of 3 cm so whilst it was a good strike the transition there was a little bit higher

Than I would have liked so looking at this information if I was to go and record lots and lots of shots with the a iron and I was consistently a 3 to 4 cm transition here I might want to look at that as an opport opportunity to try and

Get more um under plane or at least on plane with my swing you can also change to the face on view like this for example and you can change to a Target view as well which is pretty neat let’s go back to down the line though now if I

Was looking at this data and I didn’t really know much about it because there are lots of numbers here you can tap on the information next to each one so this is transition and it will tell me basically what transition is and then it will tell me how I can improve it so

Transition measure the difference between your back swing and down swing the measurement is taken approximately 20 cm into your downswing so it says here for example if you hit a slice your transition numbers are likely to be positive which is the case for me indicating an over-the-top transition to

Minimize your slice try to get the transition numbers closer to zero which is class as neutral or slightly negative but at the bottom it does say generally being within three cm of a neutral either positive or negative is a good range to hit the ball straighter and more

Consistently if we go down let’s have a look at Tempo so that’s one of the things I was trying to address in my previous video again Link in the description below but my Tempo um for this particular swing was 2.4 to1 it tells me the length of my back swing in

Terms of time and my down swing but it also tells me how quickly I managed to get to impact and whether there was a pause of my swing again I can tap on the information here and it breaks down everything that um is measured here and gives me more information about these

Data points things like length of backswing for example if I press on the information here it’s going to tell me a bit about what we’re sort of aiming for with length of back swing and whether that’s something that I want to focus on so you can get the impression from here

That there is a heck of a lot of data but what happens is when we tap on any of the information areas we get more information about what these things are and then once we build up the data we can start looking at how we can improve these specific points so for example

This initial downswing Direction X is the um basically the angle at which your hands come down from your initial movement so if you have a positive number it means that your hands start to downswing towards your toes and a value of zero means that your hands drop

Straight down so what you’re kind of looking for is looking for something that sits around about um between 5 and 15° so you see an ideal idx range of 5 to 15 so I can jump back and have a look at mine and mine is 12 so actually it’s

Not too bad but I’m not going to sit and go through all of these things but you can see there is a lot of data collected here and of course I can jump back in and let’s go and look at some other swings I’ve captured all of my swings

Here so even like a little 56 on the um fifth hole which was just short of the green I can get a bit more information about that so you see for example this one was a little bit of a shorter swing there so we don’t get the f um when

We’re looking down the line the full length of back swing and whatnot because it’s just a very very short swing but even this kind of information at 43 cm length of back swing is useful to have the important thing of course is being able to accurately interrogate it and

Then work out what I’m going to do with this data to improve but one thing that is very useful is we’ve been looking at capture data and then we can look at the information for each data point to try and work out what it should be and then

We can go in practice swings and improve it but you can also compare your data with the touring professionals now the whz is a device that is um really really popular right now within the professional game as well there are several players who have endorsed the product anaka ssten and VJ Singh Henrik

Stensen and Adrien morun has also recently just partnered with thewiz so a lot of their swings have been analyzed and we actually have access to that information on the data dashboard where we can start comparing our swings to that of the tour professionals so now

What I want to do before we finish this video is I want to show you how some of those swings compare with the pros so I can work out if my length of back swing meets those of hen extenson for specific clubs for example or if maybe I’m a

Little bit too short I might want to increase them so I’m going to jump on the laptop and I’m going to show you some of the comparisons with the tour professionals just now okay so this is what the insights look like within the DZ data dashboard along the top you can

Compare against these various players and you can set a date range and then you can also choose on the left hand side the specific clubs or you can choose the session type so I’m going to go for on course I’ve actually already filtered here so it’s only going to show

That one session but then what I might want to do is let’s load up that a TI again and then let’s have a look at how I compare with any of the players who we have data for with an eight iron so let’s go for Henrik Stenson in this

Example and then you’ll see as I scroll down I can see Henrik stenson’s transition so my transition on average with that club during that particular date range on course um was 2.2 CM again we’re trying to get the transition as close to zero as possible Henrik

Stenson’s is 1.5 so we can compare the two we can see that stenson’s is is around about 7 cm um better or closer to zero than mine we can see that with the eight iron his length of back swing is around about was about 20 close to 20 cm

Longer in terms of his back swing length than my a iron we can have a look at his tempo for example so he’s got a slightly better Tempo Than Me 3 to one is the ideal Tempo and that most players will be looking for that’s certainly what

I’ve been using device to try and get closer to um you’ll see here 2.4 versus 2.76 and then we can look down at things like the back swing duration so actually that’s a one thing we are bang on with um and then the down swing duration M’s is slightly slower than um Henrik

Stenson and then we can look at things like the hand speed so you see his hands are much much quicker through the swing through the down swing than um than mine we can then have a look at n iron for example so we can see how they compare

So with his nine iron his hands are again quite quicker than mine and they’re quicker than they are with his eight iron you can see that his um length of back swing is slightly shorter with his nine iron but look at the difference with his um transition he’s

Minus three with his nine iron compared to 1.5 but compared with my 3 cm so we’ve almost got 6 cm worth of difference there in the transition we can jump in and look at other players too so if we look at VJ sing for example

Again and let’s load his one up so he has actually got with his 9 out a very a much higher transition much more positive um so with the measurements here he’s probably going to be a little bit more um out to in than um than some

Of the other Pros he’s got much much much longer back swing here with his nine iron let’s jump in look at the eight iron and see if we can compare them so you can see again positive numbers from FJ Singh here again longer back swing um Tempo is is closer to mine

So there could be the elent of age as well with the players which makes a difference so obviously it’s difficult if you are comparing with them which players you’re going to compare with and we can see here if I go to um anakah you can see with her transition eight iron

0.9 minus 0.9 so actually negative again a lot lot closer to zero than mine length of back swing interestingly the a IR considerably shorter than mine so there is a lot of information that can be pulled from this um dashboard and I want to track a lot more of my swings

Before I really start digging down and comparing but it is useful to see this information so there you have it that’s how I have been using the Dez this week I’m going to keep using it and capturing more data probably from Full rounds out on the golf course and then my plan with

This is to get in touch with the whz and ask if they can interrogate my data to give me some advice as to exactly what they think I should be working on and I’ll be sure to record that webinar so that I can share it with you guys via

Another video and you can get more of an idea as to what the wizdom S would recommend I do to fix my gol swing based on the data collected now in other news this week I have taken delivery of this this is the shot scope Pro ZR Laser Rangefinder brand new offering from

Short scope I’ve just released a video which shows you what comes inside the box and we take a first look at this wonderful new product so if you’re interested in that then I’ll put a link at the end of this video remember there is also the video where I talk about the
