Video Based Lessons Yes or No ?

[VegasRenegade]

I have been taking Video Based lessons for about * months.  I found that they were very helpful

in the back swing. Not so much in the down swing. My instructor is very good about explaining where I should be and getting me there in slow motion. However I am having a hard time getting the feel and timing of the down swing.  I find I have to look for my own drills to give me the fell. Today I was using a Heavy club to get the feel of dropping my hands and not casting the club. I also used a punisher stick to keep my hand in front of the club head. It is very helpful to watch these drills on video is very helpful to see if the feel is getting you to the correct position.  The Heavy club I just came up with myself. The punisher was suggest and made for me my another instructor at golf Tec

As you may know we do video based lessons with drills via evolvr.com . We've had great success with a LOT of students.

I put yes they are the best way to learn.  That is just for me though, the lessons often give you drills to work on so that is why I did not select that.  I have learned more in the two and a half months I have done them than by any other method.  I have said this a bunch but I tried an instructor in person, but I was intimidated to an extent and had a difficult time focusing on what I was doing and was more worried about hitting a bad shot in front of him.  With video lessons you can see what you are doing next to example of what you should be doing, and for me that is the way that it can click and I can understand it.  I gained both yardage consistency and accuracy so far by doing them.   Getting or having the feeling of something can be tough and takes more time than we often want, but at least I finally understand what I am supposed to do and am starting to do it.  If I cannot understand it I cannot begin to even practice the feeling or the drill for it.

In person with a good instructor is best. But remote video lessons with a good instructor beats in person with a lousy instructor any day.

This what I feel Seeing it I know what I am supposed to be doing but I need drills to get me to be able to do it.

I will be surprised if anyone votes no. Without a camera there is no way to tell if you are doing it what you think you are doing. Feel is not real.

I think there are things an instructor may miss in person as well, if he is not filming your swing.

I don't teach a lesson without videoing some of the swings....most need a combination of feeling and seeing
