I thought I would start a general discussion thread for those of us who have the Student version of Analyzr. This is a place to talk about how your using it, cameras, good Youtube sample videos, etc.

I'll start it off by saying I was a beta tester so I have had some time to play with it. I live in New England so there is still snow on the ground and I haven't been able to get videos on a range but I have videoed my swing in the driveway and have been comparing them to downloaded Youtube videos of various pros. Between all the great information on The Sand Trap and this application I have already seen improvements in my swing – at least from a practice standpoint. I'm really looking forward to getting out and actually hitting some balls to see the results.

I don't have a fancy camera and have been using my iPhone 4 until I find something better. But even with the iPhone I get acceptable videos. I have an inexpensive tripod to hold it and use the iSwing app to record. The reason I use this app is because it has an audio countdown for starting the recording and automatically records short clips. This allows me to do it all myself without utilizing a camera man. I'm planning on taking my iPhone, Macbook Pro and Analyzr to the range and get instant feedback during practice sessions. While the ability to video and analyze are not new, being able to do it as an individual so cost effectively, and with great quality, is a breakthrough. I'm already considering Analyzr one of the best swing aids I've ever used. The low cost of this great app is a bonus.

I'd like to point out that if you have a mac book you have imovie and can edit video and edit it to play in slow motion.  I upgraded to imovie 11 recently for $14.99.  It is worth it.  Check out my swing thread to see what I did.  The video is taken at 60fps and slowed in imovie.

Good luck video is a great tool.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
