Swing Slow

Nike recently took Tiger Woods to a remote sound studio outside Las Vegas and shot him. With the Phantom v5 digital camera, capable of 4000 still shots per second, a piece of hardware normally reserved for military research. A golf swing that would typically happen in the blink of an eye and generate ball speeds close to 185 m.p.h. is transformed into one, full and engrossing, minute of slow motion video.

Shot from a variety of angles, each is a study in precision, power and grace. Link.
