André Rennes — Driver #3 · Full Swing Analysis

1 Executive summary

Bottom line: a good session to build on, but this clip cannot back a full diagnosis. No ball data was shown, so there is no carry, total or ball speed to compare with Driver #1 (241 total, 213 carry, 129 mph), and no personal best can be flagged. Frames 32–36 (takeaway through impact) all show the same set-up pose, and the measured tempo came out as one frame back and one frame down (0.03 s / 0.03 s). That is a detection miss, not a real 1:1 swing, so the tempo is left out of the comparison.

What the footage does show: the release and finish are clean. The body rotates through toward the target, the trail foot comes up, and the finish holds. Through the follow-through the head moves about 4–6 in lower and about 5–6 in toward the ball side by the finish, which is normal rotation and not a fault on its own. Whether the head dip seen in Driver #1 (~5 in) is still there at impact needs a cleaner clip.

Strength

Balanced finish

Full rotation through the ball, trail foot up on its toe, and a finish held to the end.

Priority 1

Capture the whole swing

Start filming a second or two before the takeaway and keep rolling through the finish, so the top and impact are caught and tempo can be measured.

Priority 2

Show the range screen

Without the screen after the shot there is no ball flight to read. Carry, total and ball speed are what the driver reports are built on.

2 Timing & tempo — measured from the video

30 frames per second, so each frame is about 0.033 s. The automatic detection put the start of the backswing at frame 34 and the top at frame 35, only one frame apart. A real driver backswing takes about 15–20 frames, so these times are not usable.

Group	Backswing	Downswing	Ratio
André (driver #3, today)	not measurable	not measurable	—
André (driver #1, Oct 7)	~0.50 s	~0.25–0.30 s	~2:1
André (driver #2, Oct 10)	~0.60 s	~0.33 s	~2:1
André (3-wood, Oct 24)	~0.50 s	~0.30 s	~1.7:1
PGA Tour (Tour Tempo, "24/8")	~0.80 s	~0.27 s	3:1

Tour figure: John Novosel, Tour Tempo. The earlier driver values are from André's own reports.

What it means: No tempo number is claimed for this swing. The two earlier driver reports both sit near 2:1, and the next clip can show whether that holds.

3 The reference frame — how this swing was measured

Grid: each square is about 5 inches (~59 px at 11.71 px per inch). It is scaled from his body size in the frame, so treat distances as ±1 inch.
Vertical and horizontal center lines (light green): fixed references for balance, spine and height.
Two corner diagonals (green): they cross at the frame's center and give a fixed perspective scaffold.
Depth rays: not drawn this time. No alignment sticks were visible, and a single feet line has no vanishing point, so toward-ball and toward-target motion cannot be separated.
Address references: the white line is the top of the cap and the light-green line is the back of the head. The feet line is approximated from the lead toe to the trail toe. The red trail is the head path and the yellow trail is the hands' path.
Body points were tracked automatically on 93 frames (10.5–13.6 s). Key positions were then checked by eye, which is where the top and impact were found not to be separated from address.

4 Swing sequence

Nine key positions, filmed down-the-line from behind. Photos 1–7 (frames 32–40) all look like the set-up pose, so the key-frame detection did not isolate the backswing, top or impact. Photos 8 and 9 show the real follow-through.

Photos are numbered in the order they happen in the swing. The frames follow the standard swing positions.

5 Position-by-position biomechanics

Photo 1 — Address Set-up

Tall, athletic posture with knees flexed and arms hanging naturally.
Hands just below the chest and the clubhead behind the ball, a normal driver set-up.

Photo 2 — Takeaway Not captured

Frame 33 still shows the address pose. The takeaway had not been caught, so there is nothing to judge here.
Head and hips read ~0 in from address, which confirms the frame is static.

Photo 3 — Lead arm parallel Not captured

Frame 32 is the same set-up pose, so lead arm parallel was not isolated.
Hands within ~0.3 in of address, which matches a still frame.

Photo 4 — Top Not captured

Frame 35 shows the address pose, not the top. Shaft length, shoulder turn and head height at the top cannot be judged.
The earlier head dip (~5 in in Driver #1) can't be confirmed or ruled out from this clip.

Photo 5 — Arm parallel (down) Not captured

Frame 34 is another still set-up frame. The downswing start, wrist angle and hand path were not caught.

Photo 6 — Delivery Not captured

Frame 35 again shows address. Club path and arm position in front of the chest can't be read.

Photo 7 — Impact Not captured

Frame 36 shows the club still behind the ball, so this is not true impact. Measured values near 0 here are not a result.
Hands and head can't be checked at the moment of contact until a cleaner clip is available.

Photo 8 — Release Good

Body rotating well through the ball, with the arms extending and the chest turning toward the target.
Head about 4 in lower and about 5 in toward the ball side than at address, and hips ~5 in away from the ball line. This is expected during rotation.
A yellow ball is still visible near its address spot in this frame, so the clip timing needs a re-check.

Photo 9 — Finish Good

Rotated fully to the target with weight moving to the lead side and the trail foot up.
Head ~6 in lower and hips ~3 in higher than at address, a normal tall finish.

Overlay — head at address, top and impact

Measure (vs address)	Top	Impact	Driver #1, Oct 7 (top / impact)	Reading
Head, down	n/a	n/a	— / ~5 in	Unknown top and impact not captured
Head, toward the ball	n/a	n/a	— / ~2 in	Unknown needs a clean clip
Hips, toward the ball	n/a	n/a	—	Unknown early extension can't be judged
Hands vs address	n/a	n/a	—	Unknown ~0.2 in reflects a still frame

Depth note: The measured values at the top and impact are all ~0 because those frames show the address pose, so they are not results. Only the follow-through carries real movement: at release, head about 4.3 in down, 5.2 in toward the ball side, hips 4.8 in away from the ball line, hands about 22 in from their address spot; at the finish, head about 6.2 in down and 6.0 in toward, hips about 1.5 in away. There are no sticks and no depth rays, so toward-ball and toward-target motion are mixed. A face-on clip would split them.

6 Diagnosis

No ball flight: no range screen was shown, so speed, launch, carry and total can't be judged for this swing, and no personal best is flagged.
Tempo not measurable: the 0.03 s / 0.03 s result is a detection miss. The earlier driver reports sit near 2:1, and this swing can't confirm or change that.
Top and impact not isolated: frames 32–36 all show the address pose, so the earlier head-dip finding (~5 in in Driver #1) is left open.
Follow-through is solid: full rotation, arms extending, and the finish held with the trail foot up.
Head and hip movement after impact (about 4–6 in down and toward the ball side for the head) is in line with normal rotation and should not be read as a fault.

Confidence: high that the follow-through frames (release and finish) are real and well tracked; high that tempo and the top and impact positions are not usable from this clip; moderate on the follow-through distances (grid scaled from body size, ±1 inch); no confidence statement is possible on ball flight, since no screen data was given.

7 Next steps — keep it simple

Priority 1 · Clean capture

Film the whole swing

Same down-the-line spot. Start recording 2 seconds before the takeaway and keep rolling until the finish is held. Take 3–5 swings.

This catches the top and impact, so tempo and the head dip can finally be measured.

Priority 2 · Ball data

Screen after every swing

Point the phone at the range screen right after the shot, with the readout visible for a second or two.

Carry, total and ball speed are what make this report comparable with Driver #1 (241 total, 213 carry).

Tempo

Count the swing

Count "back-2-3, down-1" on a few practice swings, then on the real ones.

The earlier driver swings were near 2:1. A 3:1 count is a simple way to test a smoother backswing.

Keep · Finish

Hold the finish

Keep rotating to the target and hold the pose until the ball lands.

Today's finish was balanced, with the trail foot up. It's a strong habit.

8 Limitations & next capture

One swing is a snapshot, and here the key positions from takeaway to impact were not captured.
No range screen was shown, so there is no ball data. Nothing about carry, total or club speed is estimated.
Tempo was not measurable: the detected backswing and downswing were one frame each, which is a tracking miss.
No alignment sticks were visible, so there are no depth rays and no way to split toward-ball from toward-target motion.
Distances come from a grid scaled to his body in the frame (±1 inch). His real height would make the scale exact.

Next capture: (1) the same down-the-line spot, with recording started before the takeaway and held through the finish, (2) the range screen after each shot, (3) a face-on clip at chest height, (4) 3–5 balls for an average, (5) alignment sticks if possible, to bring back the depth rays, and (6) André's height, to lock the grid scale.
