Milo Lines Academy coach, Henry Fall walks you through how to setup your camera or cell phone for an online swing analysis. This is a basic guide on how to properly film your swing for review. Although the location will not be exact, this guide provides good parameters for filming.
DOWN-THE-LINE
- Have camera/phone roughly 10 feet behind student
- Ensure camera is far enough back to capture club-head at the top of swing
- Place alignment stick or club parallel to target line just off toes beneath hands
- Aim camera directly down alignment stick parallel with target, through wrists
- For height of camera, line up with just below elbows, (roughly 3ft above ground)
- Notice in pictures below, the exact center of the frame is located at my wrists
- Would prefer camera too far away and video too long versus opposite
FACE-ON
- Have camera/phone 10 feet away, and perpendicular to student’s target line
- Ensure camera is far enough away to film club in swing (sides and top)
- For height, have camera even with just below elbows (roughly 3ft above ground)
- Would prefer camera too far away and video too long versus opposite
