Drawing Lines for Video Instruction

[Richie3Jack]

Camera setup is so key, like EdZ stated.

I also think this is a fantastic camera angle to use with golfers.

Kevin,

Thanks for your prompt response and I appreciate the input from everyone else as well. Camera angles absolutely are of utmost importance. Without their proper alignments, you can receive a false reading on plane angles, etc.

I use a three camera system (down-the-line, face-on, and overhead) and have all three cameras fixed and on plane to the target. Having taught a lot with video since 2001, and one year into my journey with TGM, I wondered if there were certain places to draw lines as reference points and how they are used to better instruct students.

Again I appreciate your help, and I look forward to more discussion on this matter.

Stay Warm,

Curt Sanders

Curt,

Sounds like you have a FANTASTIC system! That would be a blast to work with. My inexperience in that area really shows with my original reply. You were looking for a far more advanced answer than I am capable of. I had forgotten who you were already, very advanced "newbie". Hopefully we will hear more, I have been very interested in Ed's answers!

Have a great day Curt!

I noticed your swing thought and wondered if you get that low slope then gradual rise to the top ball flight. The goal of which is a softly landing shot?

I know the swing is linear than angular. It just seems very easy and consistent to thrust down while maintaining the wedges. If I exaggerate the wedges and thrust, will I get that distinctive ball flight? If I hit the sweetspot plane or line, will that give the ball flight its distinctives?
