I have learned MUCH through your questions and the answers and illustrations you have posted. Thanks much!

I am trying to set up my practice studio and I still need a digital video camera and a mirror.

What kind of video camera do you have? I want to spend as little money as possible, but still have something that will work for golf swing analysis.

What are the dimensions of your mirror? Is it adjustable? Wall mount or floor standing?

Thanks,
Kit
Thanks for the kind words KIT . . . You ever talk to David Hassleoff anymore? You shoulda never drove him to Bay Watch . . .



My "studio"/meth-lab is OLD SKOOL cheap. I have an 8mm video camera. You don't need all that analysis stuff IMO. You just film it and watch it. You'll know what the biggest wobble is.

My mirror is just an old Walmart jobbie. It's adjustable . . . just prop him up against the wall. I got an old TV and VCR down there. I guess could actually film and swing at the same time.

Do crazy stuff down there (not THAT crazy). Experiment. I was hitting chips into the net and letting my follow through happen into the impact bag at the same time. I hit balls with my eyes closed. I hit balls like doing a downstroke waggle drill. I make flickdid swings and video those to just to see how the whole "feel" vs. REAL deal looks . . .you'd be suprised how "normal" the spaz feeling swings look. Hit shots one handed. Do dowel swings and then hit a ball and film it. Experiment with different swing thoughts and see how that changes the motion.

It's a lab . . . experiment . . . muuuuuuuuuuu hhhhhhaaaaa haaaaaaaa!!!!
