Quality video is crucial in the lesson process

One of the many great things about Swingpal is the chance for golfers of all ability levels to get top-notch instruction that is both convenient and affordable.

Still, you want to do everything that you can do to make sure you’re getting the most accurate analysis of your swing possible and that starts with making sure that you’re capturing quality video of your swing.

In order for your instructor to make the best diagnosis of what’s going on in your swing, it’s imperative that you capture video from proper angles and that the entire club is visible throughout the swing.

“Every instructor wants to give each of their students the best lesson possible and when it comes to video golf lessons everyone will benefit from videos that are captured from the correct angles,” Swingpal instructor Vikki Vanderpool said.

“When we have videos from the proper angles to work with, the kind of videos that we would take during an in-person lesson, we can see exactly what’s going on in the swing and target the appropriate problem areas quickly and accurately.”

As far as angles are concerned, when shooting a down-the-line video, make sure that the camera is aligned through the player’s hands and directly down their target line. For a face-on video, make sure that the camera is aligned perpendicular to the player’s target line and aimed directly at their waist.

And when it comes to making sure the entire golf club is visible throughout the swing, that’s a crucial component in your instructor being able to see what’s happening to the clubface throughout your swing, which of course can lead to shots that start offline and/or curve too much.

So get out today and capture video of your swing that meets the criteria discussed above, and we assure you that our instructor team will help you fix your game.

The Swingpal Experience: Keep getting better

With the calendar set to flip to November and with numerous places in the Northeast already dealing with significant snowfall, it’s hard for many not to have winter on their minds.

And with winter comes the end to the golf season for players not just in the areas affected by this past weekend’s storm but players across the country.

Cold temperatures and winter weather, however, are no excuse to stop working on your golf game, as no matter where you live you can find ways to get better year-round.

And Swingpal.com is here to help you do just that.

We’re available, of course, to provide you with a lesson from a top teaching professional anytime you’d like to take one, but this is something different.

Starting on Wednesday, we’ll be running a comprehensive video series throughout the coming weeks that will help you take advantage of your offseason to work on your game so that you’re not in the position of essentially starting over when spring arrives.

And even if you’re in a location where you won’t have to deal with ice, snow and bitterly cold temperatures, this series will benefit you as well.

With the help of Swingpal.com instructor Jim Williams, we’ll take a look at how you can check and improve your fitness levels in various categories. We’ll also show you various ways that fitness deficiencies can be creating issues in your golf swing and how you can remedy those problems.

Additionally, we’ll show you valuable indoor drills that you can work on to improve your set-up fundamentals, your swing plane and your impact position.

And finally, we’ll take you through some key concepts that you can work on indoors to dramatically improve your putting in the coming weeks and months.

As mentioned, look for the first installment of our offseason series on Wednesday and then make sure to check out The Lesson Tee every Wednesday for the next several weeks as we continue this series well into 2012.

And remember, there’s no reason why you can’t improve your golf game 365 days a year.
