What do you think of Slow-Mo Video Analysis of PGA Tour players on TV?

[WUTiger]

I learn things from both excellent shots, and poor ones.

Last season, the announcers reviewed a shot of Tiger hitting a driver into a water hazard to the left of the fairway. In slo-mo, it clearly showed what happens when the hands and arms take over on a shot.

Lesson for me: Under pressure you want a smooth swing, not an easy swing. When I try to hit it easy, I end up with a lazy backswing and o-o-o-over-rotation on the downswing, leading to a bad miss left.

I don't usually take anything from Kostis' analysis, but I really enjoy the Biz-Hub views. He is very imprecise in his use of terms and often makes flubs like this one. I think it's obvious he meant the amount of wrist cock (the 270* outside angle increased) with added wrist set during transition. But that he didn't express his points clearly is potentially misleading to many viewers. I wonder how much time they give him to come up with his commentary or if it's on the fly?

I find the help from most is or whatever segment a lot more useless then the slow mo's. Today he analyzed Candice Romo's swing and told her she had to stop losing flex in her trail leg.

Haha, I saw that and thought to myself that I didn't agree that her losing flex in her trail leg wasn't the fix to make her swing better.

Haha yea she may have lost too much because her leg looked almost locked, and she never did regain any but losing it wasn't her problem.

Here's the video: http://www.pgatour.com/video/2015/05/31/help-me-kostis--candice-romo.html

I was surprised that he didn't point out how far her head moved on the backswing.

I'm not even sure she got to her lead side 'eventually'. Hitting off the back foot / early extension.

Yes, its best to turn the sound off and just watch and learn.

I like it but I also agree that it seems Jonny Miller is doing it off the cuff and making it up as he goes. Horrible analysis but love the videos
