How to Videotape and Upload your Swing Video

Using your smartphone camera or video camera, we need both down-the-line and face-on views to do a proper analysis of your swing.

Down The Line

Face On

Here are a few tips to get you started:

• It helps to have a tripod or something to rest the camera or smartphone on.
• Position yourself directly behind the student, this is the down-the-line shot.
• Height of camera should be hand-high when at your address position
• Begin recording and hit two shots with whatever club you want.
• Stop recording and move camcorder to the face-on position
• Record two more shots with the same club.
• Stop recording
• Review your video to make sure you can see your entire body and club swinging within the screen.

You will need the V-1 software and you have three ways to upload the video,
