Golf Swing Videos

Golf swing videos are a tremendous aid to you as a golfer and to any coach or swing analyst helping you with your swing. Any practice strategy should include a video session with an instructor. You can also have a video taken so that you can bring it into a golf instructor to give you professional advice on your swing development.

Video analysis is extremely helpful to the learning process. Human beings are very visual. Our vision takes up a large portion of the human brain. Seeing is believing for many people when it comes to the golf swing. It depends on your learning style.

Some people need to see a golf swing performed before they can emulate it. I have a number of golf buddies like this. Technical descriptions of how the body parts move in order to complete a "proper" golf swing get them nowhere. However, they can watch a good golfer and immediately incorporate that visual memory into their own game after just a bit of practice. This of course drives me nuts.

I do value the visual image. Watching a pro swing helps me get a sense of what a good swing is. But I have to practice mechanically to translate that image into my version of what I thought I saw. I have to repeat and repeat the swing process before I can "feel" the proper golf swing in my terms.

Translating instructions (technical or visual image) into a good swing motion represents a complex learning process. What you "feel" is not always an accurate interpretation of what is "real". In other words, you can think your swing is perfect when in fact something is drastically wrong. As instructors often say, "Feel is not always real."

Golf swing videos give you visual feedback that brings feel and real back into sync. The swing video shows what part of the golf swing is or is not working.

Golf swing videos are now standard currency for elite players vying for golf scholarships. Candidates are required to submit their swing videos to coaches as part of the recruitment process. For information on golf swing video requirements for scholarships follow this link.

Today, elite players, their parents and coaches are lucky; video equipment is affordable, high quality and easy to use. It's easy to produce your own golf swing video with the right equipment and techniques. Check out this link for a discussion of Video Equipment.
