The golf swing plane is defined as the best fit plane to a time series of points of a TARGET or LANDMARK, usually defined within an event sequence.

The purpose of the event sequence is to allow the computation of different planes through the swing. For example, a plane during takeaway.

Metric_Golf_Swing_Plane /SIGNAL_TYPES=TARGET SIGNAL_NAMES=CLUB /SIGNAL_FOLDER=ORIGINAL /RESULT_NAME=STANCE_CLUB /RESULT_FOLDER=GOLF /EVENT_SEQUENCE=TAKEAWAY+BACK ! /EXCLUDE_EVENTS= ; or a plane at the beginning of the backswing.

Metric_Golf_Swing_Plane /SIGNAL_TYPES=TARGET /SIGNAL_NAMES=CLUB ! /SIGNAL_FOLDER=ORIGINAL /RESULT_NAME=SWING_CLUB /RESULT_FOLDER=GOLF /EVENT_SEQUENCE=TOP+DOWN ! /EXCLUDE_EVENTS= ; The dialog for this command is:

To display the two swing planes use the command Highlight_Golf_Features:

Highlight_Golf_Features ! /CALIBRATION_FILE= ! /X_FACTOR=RPV::X+RTA::X CLUB_PATH=TARGET::ORIGINAL::CLUB ! /BALL_PATH=TARGET::ORIGINAL::BALL /STANCE_PLANE=METRIC::GOLF::STANCE_CLUB /SWING_PLANE=METRIC::GOLF::SWING_CLUB /HIGHLIGHT_X_FACTOR=TRUE /HIGHLIGHT_CLUB_PATH=TRUE /HIGHLIGHT_BALL_PATH=TRUE /HIGHLIGHT_STANCE_PLANE=TRUE /HIGHLIGHT_SWING_PLANE=TRUE ;

Given the dataset, it has been difficult to generalize a good view of the swing planes. One image is below.
