About K-VEST
The K-VEST, which can be used indoors or outdoors, with or without a video camera utilizes three (3) wireless sensors strategically placed on the golfer’s hip, shoulder, and hand. These sensors communicate with Bentley’s proprietary KINESYNCâ?¢ software on a laptop to display live video and 3-D animation. The instructor and/or player simply record a swing and, within seconds, the software generates a complete 3-D swing analysis allowing the user to quickly identify swing faults. The exercise mode is then used to provide real-time audio, visual, and kinesthetic feedback to optimize performance.
