TEACHING TOOLS

The Benefits of Video Analysis.

The use of a video camera is an effective tool to help you improve your golf swing technique. More and more golf professionals are using video to depict faults. Both golf swing analysis by one of our certified professionals and video analysis will help you make the most out of your time at your lesson. Normally it's difficult to correct a fault, even if you know what you should be doing. This is because you don't see yourself in action. When you watch yourself you can study your golf swing in depth, frame by frame, building a picture of what you are trying to achieve.

All lessons & lesson packages at West Island Golf are available  with video analysis.

The use of a video camera is an effective tool to help you improve your golf technique. More and more athletes, coaches, scientists are using video feedback as a coaching aid. Video can very quickly help athletes to understand the basic fundamentals of a specific movement. Providing golfers with immediate video feedback of there last performance enables the coach to reinforce the technical elements of the movement.

By comparing performances of previous movements, our professionals will help you understand the motion of the swing. Differences between the techniques can be identified and this information made available immediately to the student.

Practice should be a rewarding experience; a video camera helps you make the most out of your time. When you watch yourself perform, the image is there before your eyes, instead of being just in your mind.

"Once you have seen yourself on video, your perception
will forever change of how you think you swing."  -Rafael Kalamat

You can study your technique in depth, frame by frame, building a picture of what you're trying to achieve. Seeing an improvement can boost your confidence. Normally it's difficult to correct a fault, even if you know what you should be doing. This is because you don't see yourself in action. The slightest alteration to the technique will always feel uncomfortable to begin with. Negative thoughts and doubts can soon eat away at your performance. It is then you start drifting into old habits, simply because that's what comes naturally. When the video images are there in front of you, it's much easier to set yourself back on the right lines. You can learn a great deal from studying your own technique on video. The benefits of video apply to all levels of performance - from the beginner to the Elite golfer.
