Those Adidas three stripe training pants - I noticed when videoing face on, those lines help you see what your hips/girdle is doing a little more clearly. It's more obvious when you're rotating too much/little and not extending your hips, or as Johnny Miller would say, "popping out the belly", or raising the belt. If you have a pair, video your swing and see for yourself.

In Bobby Jones's "How I play Golf" instructional video series he uses this concept. Lots of swing videos against a black back drop and he wore specially made black and white clothing to highlight certain portions of the body. Tried to find a video on youtube to post but they were strangely absent.

Well… googling "adidas training pants" leads to an awful lot of photos of things like this:

So… I knew what he meant.

I dunno what the heck you call these. They're not sweat pants, spandex, running pants. So I just went with whatever it was when I bought them. In the UK, sneakers are called trainers, training pants could work.

    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
