What you feel and what’s actually happening in a golf swing are often two very different things. Get a new eye: a video camera. Today’s digital video (DV) cameras cost as little as $300, and software lets you step through frame by frame. Record your swing from at least two angles – down the line and head-on – and compare the reality of your swing (the tape) to the “feel” of your swing (what you think you’re doing). You may be amazed by the differences.
Film Yourself
Film yourself swinging to get a new look on your golf swing.
This tip should carry a health warning. I tried this for the first time in years just the other week, using the video feature of my digital camera, and my heart almost stopped after seeing how shallow my swing had become. As you say, what you feel you are doing and what you are actually doing can be two entirely different things.
