Sometimes if I have not written the copy for a lesson and I have to watch it over it occurs to me that if I took a lesson and wanted to know what my swing was doing and why I was having issues this is what I would want as far as a visual record of my movements during the swing, both of my body and the club. It is impossible to assess a swing adequately without slowing it down. There is so much of importance that is too fast to ascertain with the naked eye that it really demands more time to study and analyze before making judgements and prescribing fixes and practice ideas. The other thing that this type of study allows is a one to one comparison of what was and what happens when new ideas are introduced. Just hitting a few good shots is not enough evidence to prove that a lesson has provided new knowledge and a sustainable improvement. Good players with a modicum of speed always appear to doing fairly nicely compared to the average guy. But most pretty good players who come for lessons aren’t happy with the way their swing performs, and are looking for concrete answers as to why and educated suggestions as to how to improve. Players want tangible evidence that the ideas they are implementing are working.
