Who like the BBCs new super slow mo camara?
I think it is great to see the top players swings in super slow mo with real quality images, and seeing impact position is fantastic. Best part of the BBCs coverage.

Its good but they are overplaying their new gadget. I'd prefer to see a slo-mo of the swing and someone like Ken Brown talking me through the salient points.

I think its great. Fantastic quality.

 

[Society_Fan]

Fair point. I may write to Mr Brown and see if he can have a go... Watch this space.
Ken Brown has been twittered!!!

I think it's really clever too and not being overplayed at all. More of the same please.
It's a bit like the cricket when channel 4 had it, all the slow mo when they were bowled out. Good stuff.

Golfmmad.

Brill, a stunning piece of kit, best bit of their coverage.

Love it more please.

I agree, it is fantastic, the americans only use their swingvision cameras on the teeboxes at selected holes. In the Open we get to see bunker shots and shots from the rough as well as tee shots. More please

Have to agree, fantastic piece of kit, looks immense in HD!

When was the Open on HD?

 

[TonyN]

It wasn't, but Sky use the same cameras (or very similar) they have been running super slow mo camera shots from all over the course for the last few months!

Saw an Jimenez bunker shot in slow mo with the commentators talking it through step by step and it wa really intresting. Its aslmost restored my faith of the BBC's golf coverage!

It is very cool technology and made the coverage all the better for it, but... why do we need to see a flippin' seagul flying in slow motion? Surely they'd be better showing us some more golf in slow mo rather than a flying rat! If i want wildlife, i've got the Planet Earth boxset to watch!
