All private lessons are video-taped as part of the lesson pricing package. During your lesson, your swings will be analyzed and reviewed by me using the NEAT System. However, as an additional purchased option, I can create a "take-home video tape" of your lesson -- which is excellent for later viewing at home (see pricing). Mailed-in video tape for analysis A NEAT System mail-in video analysis can also be created! Simply record your swings onto your media tape (VHS or Hi-8 Digital / Hi-8) and then send your tape to me! This option is perfect for people that are not local or live out-of-state. I will then review your tape and analyze it just as I normally would during a typical private lesson. I will advise you of my recommended corrective measures, drills, suggestions, etc. I will then promptly mail your original tape back to you -- with all of my analysis now included on your tape as well. Once I receive your tape, you should have your results mailed back to you within 7-10 days. See tape specifications below for more information on mail-in video analysis.

When
taping your swings, use a shutter speed that is a minimum
of 1000 frames/second. Many video cameras have a dial
or button that will allow you to choose the highest shutter
speed setting -- the higher the better!
Place
your video camera at a hip-high position and video tape your
swings from the face-on position (perpendicular to your
stance). Also videotape your swings from the side
(sometimes referred to as "behind" or "down
the line") position. From the face-on position,
I would also like to see a close-up of your grip and two full
swings with both a 5 iron and a Driver. From the side
position, also videotape two swings using both a 5 iron and
a Driver, as well.
When
video taping your swings from the side (sometimes referred
to as "behind" or "down the line") position
(see picture below), please do your best to record your swings
from the hip-high position -- but also approximately midway
between your "ball of foot/middle of feet" line and your
target line. This way, when recording, you would
basically be filming right "through" the back of your hands
-- directly towards your intended target (flagstick, etc.).
Consequently, when correctly videotaping swings
this way, the person videotaping you (or the camera itself)
should not be able to see your intended target -- since your
hands will be "covering" your intended
target. When the video camera is positioned this way,
you are now properly filming your swings right "through"
the back of your hands towards your target -- which is the
best way to film golf swings -- especially when looking for proper swing
plane.
