An important article for anyone posting video of their swing: http://thesandtrap.com/playing_tips/filming_your_swing .

Please film your swing properly as it will help the most with the analysis. In particular, get the down-the-line view right - parallel to your target, hip-height, and along the toes.

No, parallax error makes things look goofy. For example, your shaft can be right down the target line but it'll appear that it's aimed well to the right. Same with your feet - even a parallel stance looks goofy and they'd have to be well open to look "square."

Very informative article. Casio Exilim EX-FS10 which also records 210 fps video at 480 x 360 runs around $100-$110 at Amazon.

I think it would be great if you would also write an article about how to do "basic" swing analysis--how to draw a plane line, common mistake in analyzing swing video, etc. I guess learning by example particularly from Swing Check is the best bet as of now. I'm sure there are some people (like me) who wouldn't dare posting their swings. So, I had better analysis it by myself

The problem with that is that David Leadbetter's going to see things differently than Hank Haney, Butch Harmon, or me.

Man, I trust you more than those three and I believe many people in this forum do as well. How about "Swing Analysis Iacas's Way"?

I got myself a Nikon D5000 last year ( for non-golf use...never thought of using it for golf back then ). Can I use this ? I hate to go out now and spend more money on a golf specific camera, if this one works too...

Cheers

I have a crappy (relatively speaking) Nikon Coolpix with below average video specs but even that has helped me tremendously. Since it's light and easy to setup, with slow play, there's enough time to setup even while you play a round. I've been using video for years and know a guy who thinks say videoing yourself is deterimental and posting it for others to see and analyze is in his words "madness". I caught him on video accidentally and saw he had a major flip/wrist breakdown on impact. I sent it to him and he's in total denial.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
