How to Record

Face-On View

The Face-On view is best for analyzing issues with contact and ball striking. Be sure to center your body in the middle of the frame, camera stabilized at about hip height. Include a Face-On video if you have any questions in the following categories.

  • Grip
  • Ball position
  • Sways
  • Turns/Tilts
  • Angle of Attack

Down-The-Line View

The Down-The-Line view is best for analyzing ball flight and the Path-To-Face Relationship. Alignment of the camera is most important from this view, so be sure to align YOUR HANDS and THE TARGET in the center of the frame, camera stabilized at about hip height.

  • Slice/Hook
  • Early Extension
  • Posture
  • Turns/Tilts
  •  Centeredness of Contact

Remember, the camera placed on the ground for either view will skew the analysis. Don’t do it! Balancing your phone/camera on top of your golf bag is an easy alternative.

Advanced Tips

For a higher quality video, begin by finding the recording option with the highest Frames Per Second (FPS). With proper lighting or recording outdoors, that should be enough to provide a proper analysis. Indoor videos tend to have lower light, making it more difficult to capture a high quality video.

Increase the shutter speed to greatly sharpen the moving parts of the swing, providing a clearer picture for where the club head and club face angles are during the downswing.

  • Shutter Speed   1/500 – 1/2000

Anything faster than 1/1000 will greatly darken the video. So adjust by raising the ISO. And like golf, one thing cannot be changed without consequences… Raising the ISO will make the video more grainy, reducing quality.

  • ISO

Depending on natural light, your desired ISO may vary. In low light you will NEED to raise the ISO just to see anything. So try different values until you can match a good quality video with good visibility.
