[clonewars222]

So the swing analysis here is worthless?

It doesn't hold a candle to working with an actual instructor and has the potential to screw you up if you get bad information.

If you're referring to Swing Check or even the commentary offered by people on this forum, they're better than Swing Academy because at least you have a clue who's telling you what to do. Tom's a +3, I'm a one-point-something... etc.

i agree with erik here i wouldnt listen to too many peoples analysis. i like using the swing academy software to analyze my own swing i like thier super slo mo mode.

I am still trying to figure out how you put a camera in front of you without hitting it!

Some web site in this thread or on the ST home page said to record from front, back and side at waist height. A camera may seem small but it would surely find the camera.

here it is

Required Shots For the best analysis, we ask that you film yourself swinging with two clubs from two angles for a total of four videos. Note: you must hit a golf ball. Please don't submit your practice swings to us, as you know what they say about that. The four shots are: 1. Facing camera with a driver. 2. Facing camera with a 6-iron. 3. Camera down the target line with a driver. 4. Camera down the target line with a 6-iron.

um :x that means facing the ball -at address- not staring down the target line. your body faces towards the ball at address thus the camera should be on the other side of the ball faceing back at you.

OH! I figured facing meant after the strike when you are looking down range. I am glad I don't have to kill a camera for free advice.

Kind of a funny related story.

I saw a guy on the practice range one day with a camera down the line. He would hit a shot then look the camera and record what the shot did, (fade, draw, straight, etc.) which I thought was a good idea. After he turned the camera off and packed it up, I asked him if he had ever looked at the swing from face on to check his wieght shift and impact position. He said "I'd love to, but I don't like the feeling of having the camera right up on me for that." After I thought about it for a minute, I asked "this may sound silly, but have you tired putting the camera farther away and zooming in?" He looks at me with this total deer in headlights expression and then proceeds to get his camera and tripod back out of the bag.
