Body

The 33-point skeleton, your joint angles on every frame and the charts of a whole swing in the Body tab.

On this page

The Body tab draws a skeleton on your body and gives you your joint angles on the frame you’re looking at. It can also follow a whole swing and chart how your arms and legs move. Everything runs on your computer.

The skeleton on the player, with elbow and knee angles and the hand’s trail.

Turn tracking on#

Turn on Body tracking in the tab, with the skeleton button on the tool rail or with S. The first time, the model downloads (a few seconds).

The options#

  • Racket hand: right or left. It comes from the current player.
  • Angles: On screen shows angles as they appear in the video; 3D est. estimates the true angles, whatever the camera position (noisier).
  • Model: Fast, Balanced or Accurate. Accurate takes longer per frame.
  • Angle labels and Racket-hand trail: the numbers on the video and the path your hand travels.

This frame#

The numbers for the frame you’re looking at:

  • Elbow, shoulder, hip and knee, right and left, in degrees. 180° is a straight joint; the smaller the number, the more bent.
  • Trunk lean: how far your trunk leans from vertical.
  • Shoulder tilt: how far the line of your shoulders tilts.
  • Shoulder–hip separation: how far your shoulders are turned relative to your hips, seen from above (3D estimate). It’s the “coil” of your preparation.
  • Racket-hand speed: how fast your racket hand is moving.

When a joint is hidden, the app says so: its angle is less reliable.

Analyze a swing#

Analyze a swing tracks every frame of the In–Out loop (or the 2 seconds around the playhead) and charts how your angles change through the swing, with your hand speed and its peak.

  1. Pick the stroke. Set the start with I and the end with O, or put the playhead at contact.
  2. Press the button. It says how many seconds and frames it will track.
  3. Read the charts. Hover to see each moment; Table shows the numbers and Export CSV downloads them for a spreadsheet.

Hand speed is measured in the picture; to see it in km/h, calibrate the scale with a court line (see Playback and tools).
