Anyone ever use body sized mirrors when they are working on their swing? I never have before until recently and it is really helpful in working on the positions of your swing, or a look you are trying to achieve. Really worked out a few things with my backswing and downswing just by watching in a life size mirror. Really trying to go for this charli wi look demonstated by this video and got it just by using a mirror. So whoever is working on your swing out there, definitly get a large mirror that shows your body during the swing, really helpful for both dtl and caddy view. Hope this helps out some of you guys working with your swing.

Yeah i look at my swing in windows and mirrors a lot.  I want to get a camera to video tape my swing but i just cant get myself to spend the money.

I use two sets of mirrors: one for the face on view, and the other for down the line (backswing).

Definitely! I use the mirrors when practicing in the house, where I can't get a good camera angle. Plus the immediate/real-time feedback is excellent.

I got a normal sized bathroom mirror that I use for this purpose, definitely helpful when working on my take-away. Doesn't need to have a 2 meters tall mirror for it to work.

yea I noticed how well this works when I was at my gym the other day. I was swinging a heaving ball like a golf swing in the wall sized mirror and I could see all my moves in real time. Tweaked a few things right there on the spot while watching it.


I rather hook up a small webcam to my telivision ;) Got to love technology.. Just because i broke two mirrors..

I have used my camera and a laptop to instantly record and review swings. I also get live video with it on the PC, similar to a webcamera, but with better quality.

all good ideas, another good thing about it is,  you get your arms in the positions you want just by looking in the mirror and then looking down and ingraining that feeling of where the club is at. I had a charli wi backswing and follow through positions in 30 mins from looking in a mirror


The bedroom closets in my apartment are mirrors, so two rooms have about 7'-by-15' mirrors.  I spend way too much time working on weight shifts, shoulder/spine position, etc, in front of these.  Usually without a club because there's not enough room for an actual swing.

One of the ranges near here has a couple warm-up stations with mirrors and a couple that you can move to your bay to use.  I find them a little hard to use for real shots, though, because I really need to be looking at the ball.  So I really just use them for "offline" drills.

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"


I use the full length windows in my cathedral ceiling family room at night. With back lighting, they make great mirrors, and I have room to make full swings. It did wonders for my game.
