Why Video?

This week’s tip does not deal with a particular golf shot or swing fundamental. Instead, it deals with the many reasons why everyone can benefit from a golf lesson using a digital video system. It not only helps the student immensely, but it makes the golf professional a better teacher. The V-One Digital Coaching System from Interactive Frontiers that we use in Brookfield and the AStar System we use in
Southington give us countless tools to help make you a better golfer.

At the start of a lesson, we may tape you to analyze your swing prior to any instruction, see what your strengths and weaknesses may be, and to provide a basis for comparison later. During the lesson, we may tape your swing to explain or confirm a point, to make a comparison to a tour pro’s swing, or to demonstrate a drill from our video library. Towards the end of the lesson, the video may be used to compare your swing to swings made before the lesson, to show improvements made during the lesson, or to discuss areas that still need to be worked on.

What you think you’re doing and what you’re actually doing may be 2 different things and video lets you know exactly what’s going on with your
swing. It provides the instructor with an additional set of eyes and allows the student to receive immediate visual feedback without having to run
inside to pop the tape into a vcr. Also, our slow motion and frame by frame tools allow for more detailed scrutiny of swing fundamentals, which saves time and helps get more accomplished. If you want more information regarding our video systems and what they can do for you, give us a call or pick up some literature on the subject in our front lobby.
