Swing Analysis

I have taped my swing to see that my back swing is in the proper position and that my hips are getting through on the down swing. My tendency is to *** my right wrist up on the back swing and stay too level with my hips through the swing.

I compare my video with the one I have with my instructor and that way I can keep an eye on things before they get too out of whack.

Had that done as part of my lessons. I am not sure if it helped all that much, but it did point out a tendency to drop my shoulder.

I have used the product from DartFish (Dart Golfer) for a number of years. The a a number of benefits:

• When you start with a new student you video the swing and they have a chance to actually see what they are doing
• As the student improves they can see the old and new swings side by side
• When you are swinging great, get a video, you now have something to compare to when things start to go wrong
• I actually use it for myself to make swing changes/adjustment

It is great!!

I have been using the TPI swing analysis software and it's really nice.  It's actually a free download and works well for the average joe.  Since the majority of us don't have access to a trackman or anything I think this works very well.

All you do is download the software, plug in a video camera and record.  You can draw lines and make circles to make sure everything is in line/on plane.  I like it a lot and would suggest looking into it.

The problem with doing the swing analysis yourself is that most of us don't actually know what we are looking at.  I use it for the simple things and I still see my instructor a couple times a month but it's good to use if you want to see what your swing looks like when you are really hitting the ball well.  I took multiple videos from different angles when I was hitting the ball extremely solid and if something goes bad, I take a look and compare the two videos to see if I see anything different.

I've gone down the video swing analysis path and had mixed results.  It was great when I was at an outdoor facility that had hitting bays fully equipped with video and Flight Scope. I like seeing the full ball flight and then checking out the video to see what was going on. The real time feedback is great.

On the flip side, I took a few indoor lessons and just found it to be not as helpful. The video was great but it fell short of the outdoor experience.

when i worked at golf galaxy, i used a swing analysis. i absolutely loved it. i had my swing video taped and compared to any pga player i wanted to see. although mine was worst than there's (by a lot), you could see step by step how to get to where they were compared to my own swing.

also, they have a ball fitting and driver fitting that is great. you can't believe the difference that it makes in your swing.
