Start by Recording Your Swing Like This

How do I film my golf swing for analysis?

Start with two simple angles—Face-On and Down-the-Line. Record from hand height, keep the entire swing in frame, and you’re golden.

Whether you’re a scratch player or a range rat trying to break 90, how you film your swing can make or break your progress. Trust me—I’ve reviewed thousands of swings as a coach. Good angles = better feedback = faster improvement.

And here’s the kicker: your first online golf lesson is 100% free.

That’s right. Just send a video of your swing, and I’ll break it down personally, with voiceover, markups, and simple drills to get you back on track.

But first, let’s make sure your video is helpful.

Face-On: The Setup Detective

What it is: A direct shot from the front. Think “camera making eye contact with the golfer.”

Best Practices:

✅ Camera Height: Around waist or hand height

✅ Orientation: Landscape is best, but portrait works too

✅ Tripod: Huge difference—keeps the video stable and consistent

✅ Frame the Full Swing: No club head disappearing on the backswing

Why it matters: This angle shows grip, posture, sway, balance, and face control. It’s your go-to for checking setup flaws and lower body movement.

Down-the-Line: The Truth Teller

What it is: Shot from behind and slightly off the trail, aimed down your target line.

Best Practices:

✅ Same hand-height rule applies

✅ Camera should be lined up with your toe line, not the ball

✅ Lay down an alignment stick so we can see your aim

✅ Repeatable setup = easier tracking over time

This view shows swing path, shoulder rotation, club plane, and whether you’re over-the-top or stuck inside. It’s the angle most online coaches start with—so get it right.

Consistency = Real Progress

Here’s what separates the pros from the grinders: repeatable feedback.

Filming in different lighting, from various angles, with random camera heights? That’s like using a broken scale—you’ll never know if you’re improving.

Same angle. Same setup. Every time.
