I am getting a new DVD camcorder and want to video my swing. Is there a proper way to videotape a swing? Camera height, distance from golfer, angles etc...Thanks

Erik included some instructions in his first "Swing Check" post here .

In terms of how far away, I think you'll want to fill the frame with your swing while not cutting yourself or your clubs out of the frame at any point during the swing.

I'd say line up the camera the best you can. If it's too far left, your swing will appear across the line when you might be perfectly on plane. The better your camera is lined up down your target line, the more accurate it's going to be.

    • So the 75 yard 8 iron is probably not something you'd want to use regularly. It's potentially useful for keeping it under branches or if you have a reason you need it to run a lot after it lands, but for a regular shot that will have so little stopping power as to not be particularly controllable. Especially if you have a 75 yard shot with your 54. The shots as you vary distance and club will change in carry/roll, height and landing angle. Really useful to have more than one club for a given yardage for things like skipping it up a tier or landing one softly near the front of the green, but there are limits to that. In general I don't think you'd want to be hitting an 8 iron shorter than your "full" 9 iron distance and so on up the bag. Keep those partial shots to your wedges.
    • Now that we’re hearing that Jim Furyk has been tapped for a second captaincy, I have a genuine question that I don’t have an answer to. Why has my avatar David Toms never gotten a captaincy of anything? Has he ever even been a vice-captain? He’s a major winner with ten other Top Tens in majors. Senior major winner, too. Played on three Ryder Cup teams and four Presidents Cup teams. Is there bad blood here or something? 🤔
    • Older thread, I realize.  I'm throwing the idea of purchasing Hack Motion 3, the older version.   Is it a worthy investment for a 15 handicap that plays twice per week and practices twice per week?    I have to convince my boss!
