  1. 1. Would you use your phone to record your swing if there was an easier way to control the camera?

I am curious if people find it useful to record there swing on their phones while at the range?  I have been doing this for a while and it has helped me see what I am doing wrong.  The one thing I don't like is going back and forth to the phone to start and stop the recording.

Do you guys find it helpful?

I have recorded my swing quite a lot, but never with a phone. I only use cameras with high speed mode so I can see the entire swing frame by frame. If I didn't have a camera, I'd buy one. :-P A phone works too of course, you get lots of feedback from 60FPS too, but it's not ideal. FPS over megapixels any day. I got gorillapods and tripods, so I could buy a mount for my phone and record with, no problem, but as long as I have high speed cameras, I don't need it.

We've got an entire forum of recorded swings. Some with dedicated cameras, a few with phones. http://thesandtrap.com/f/4180/member-swings

No. Using camera phones is fine if it's all you've got, but in general, blech. No thanks. Casio high-speed cameras.

I was intending to use an app on my iPhone which allowed me to slow down the recording to a desired speed, along with sketching in the video. I ended up fixing the part of my swing that I was trying to see in the video before I got a chance to actually try it. But the application was pretty decent quality. Recording your swing can help alot (if you get a chance lol)

Just this weekend, I tried recording my swing with my phone and then with a usb webcam.  I was trying to work on my hand position at impact, but both of those cameras were failing miserably.  I've been looking at casio zr100s on ebay.  I really wish there was a cheaper option to get to the 300+ fps range

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
