Following on from our previous Golf Swing Analysis article I would like to give you my insight into depth perception and camera positioning for checking the club line at the top of the backswing.
Many coaches including myself would just place one camera position to look at the golf swing. In golf ranges especially where space is restricted what the picture shows and what is actually happening is not exactly the same thing.
Let me try and explain outside golf. Stand opposite a mirror around 6 feet away. Look into that mirror and make a mental note of what you see especially parts of the body at the extreme edges for example your ears. Take a slight step to the right and you will find that your left ear is almost invisible and the right ear you are able to see more.
In a golf swing if you position the camera opposite a point between the feet and the ball. When the club is parallel to the target in reality the actual video clip from the camera suggests the club shaft is pointing to the right.(Across the line) for a right handed golfer.
So to get an accurate reading of the club line at the top of the golf swing it's vital to have the camera opposite that position. You will see that the downswing looks steeper that the previous camera position where it was between the feet and the ball.
The conclusion is that to get an accurate reading of the club line at the top of the swing and the swing plane you need two camera positions. One between the ball and the feet to measure swing plane and one opposite the club at the top of the swing to see club line.
