Seeing is Believing
Use a video camera for great
feedback on your swing instruction.

ideotaping your swing is a great way to see if you are on track
with what you're working on with your golf instructor. All
you need is a video camera and a couple of refl ector rods.
Use two angles to get a true picture of what's happening in your swing:
down the line and face on. Place the camera on a tripod at the height of
the player's hands. In the down-the-line position, focus the camera on
the hands, parallel to the target line. In the face-on position, point the
camera at the center of the body. When the video is played back, the
refl ector rods act like the graphics in a swing analysis program.
What to look for from the down-the-line position
s 0OSTURE AND DISTANCE FROM THE BALL

TARGET LINE1 )S THE CLUB ON PLANE1
s )N TRANSITION HOW ARE THE ARMS HANDS AND CLUB MOVING DOWN PLANE1
s !T IMPACT IS THE CLUB ANGLING DOWN THE TARGET LINE TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT1

s 7HERE IS THE BALL POSITIONED1
s 7HAT ARE THE SHOULDERS ARMS WRISTS AND CLUB DOING IN THE TAKE AWAY1
s !RE THE WRISTS FULLY COCKED BY THE TIME THEY REACH THE TOP OF THE SWING1
s !T THE TOP IS THE LOWER BODY BRACED AND THE SPINE TILTED AWAY FROM
THE TARGET1
s !RE THE HANDS IN FRONT OF THE CLUB FACE AT IMPACT1
s )S THE lNISH IN BALANCE WITH THE MOMENTUM OF THE SWING1
#ONSULT YOUR 0'! 0ROFESSIONAL TO BECOME MORE EFlCIENT IN THESE AREAS
of your swing. By monitoring your progress on video, improvement will
be much more rapid.
