Video analysis of casting and that

Inspired by Led's photos.

I've mentioned this here before, a good while ago, so apologies if it was a non starter then and remains so.

There's some expensive software available for analysing human movement and I may be able to get a go on it for nowt. It's used at a local sports college I worked for where I managed not to upset everyone before I left - and has proved very useful for improving performance in all sorts of things. All that's needed is decent quality digital video footage of the action and the rest is done back at the desk. It's called Quintic btw. Would it be useful to any of you casting people?

Charlie,
It has to be usefull no doubt about it,the problem is nobody casts the same exact style really.... although we try to copy others, it ends up slightly different...I think to analise your own cast against another would prove difficult. Perhaps what we need is a set of parameters where by what its deemed necessary to have in your cast, to make it go 300yds or whatever..

Interesting...lets hope somebody can make use of it.
