Here is a recent video if you want to see quality. Arizona is just starting up for real practice time (I go from 2 times a week to 5 times).:golfcart:

I paid way more for the Fc 20 or whatever last year. Dang. That new smaller cheaper casio takes a really nice slo mo video. Bet it doesnt go through batteries like mine does either. It'll fit in your pocket too. How many frames per second were those swings shot at? I never use anything faster than about 280 fps on mine, no need to for golf anyways. There is your affordable Casio gents.

Being from the great white north, I can attest to the value of indoor winter practice. It can take you to a new level, no doubt about it, but you need to know what to work on! And so I highly recommend a winter trip to Atlanta to see Yoda, Luke and Jeff. Its a lot of fun down there too! That reminds me, I'd better start a new pickle jar for my trip or trips down there this year. Get ready guys, Ill be leaving on that "midnight train to Georgia."

PS Houston's has a nice steak and great martini.

It was 210 frames. If I do 420 it better had be nice and sunny.

It also can take up to 30 FPS stills, though I take them at 15fps to get the whole swing in.

I like the quick video editing feature, makes it super easy.

Does the battery hold a charge for very long? I go through batteries like Bogey went through cigarettes with my Casio FC 20. Other than that Im very happy with it. Yours sounds like the perfect golf camera. Just four years ago I almost purchased a commercial slo mo camera for $4,000. Man, things are changing quickly.

I never have issues with the battery but this is my first camera so I dont have a idea to compare to......I usually can do a lot of high speed filming and editing before re-charging.

FWIW, I just saw on their website that Miles of Golf in Ypsilanti now has a TrackMan.

Up the ante a bit.

There is Golftec with its indoor practice with video and 10 lessons, there are a ton of training devices, there is the gym (to which I already belong and use), there are DVDs (I have Alignment golf already), there is the ability to hit at the range which is heated.

I like Golftec only because I can use the indoor facilities and hit balls whenever I want with video. The lessons I'm not too crazy about, but, I suspect I could improve with them. Its a $775 investment by the way...

Any recommendations?? Thanks.

Throw a few more bucks into the kitty and take a hike to the Swamp.
It would be the gift to yourself that would keep on giving.

What city do you live in? I live just north of Detroit!! Do you have a teacher that teaches the golfing maching? If so what is his name?
