Before the advent of golf swing video and dvd to provide golf swing analysis teaching pros relied on their eyes and ears.
The eyes to see but the sound of a well struck shot was also a tool that the pro used, even if he was not that aware of how much he relied on the sound to give feedback.
It was said that the sound of Ben Hogan’s strike with an iron shot sounded like the crack of a rifle shot. Nowadays teaching pros and their students can rely on the use of advanced technology to analyse the golfer’s swing and the flight of the ball.
And a huge amount of guesswork has been removed from golf swing analysis as a consequence with the use of high speed photography and video combined with the ability to stop and rewind and play endlessly the swing under analysis.
One of the big advantages of golf swing video and dvd in golf swing analysis is the ability for the teacher to talk through and anlayse the swing with the student and the huge benefit of this is that the student can see what he is doing in his swing. Crucially what you do in your swing and what you feel or think you are doing are 2 completely different things.
Actually seeing your swing and the position of the club through various points in the swing can be incredibly instructive and allow a good teaching pro to pinpoint the problem in your swing. And the fact that you can analyse your swing at the range or in the comfort of your own home certainly assists the development of your golf swing.
There is not a top teaching pro or player who does not make extensive use of golf swing video in their golf swing analysis.
