GolfTEC has indoor booths that have cameras mounted DTL and FO. An LCD at your feet shows the DTL and FO split screen. (See the picture below, but imagine the FO view in place of Tiger)
When the ball is struck (heard by a microphone placed by your feet), the swing is captured at 60 frames per second and played back by a computer. The device pictured below has green 'buttons' that can then be used to view the video by using the butt of a club to push them. (Play, frame-by-frame, 40% speed)
They try to sell golf lessons along with memberships, but I signed up for practice only.
In the last two months, it has helped me immeasurably in transferring TGM mechanics to feel - freaking amazing. It's one thing to work with mirrors, but it's totally another to be hitting a ball, at least for me anyways.
TGM knowledge and a GolfTEC membership is a marriage made in heaven.
Anybody else using it?

I did the eval . . . . AWESOME technology. I totally agree. How much did the practice deal set you back? I'd for sure sign up for that before lessons there. Those cats STRUGGLE with the lesson piece. But the technology ROCKS. I think I could get my swing fixed super fast with a month on that dealie.

I agree, they do struggle with the lesson piece. They have a very well considered method of teaching and they are trying their best to help, but the soundness of the method and its effectiveness is debatable.
My brother is taking lessons there and paid an extra fee to allow me to just practice there. I'm not sure what he paid but I was told by an employee that, per use, a booth was $25 for 30 minutes. Thats less than it costs for a good shrink... so I say thats a good deal.

Yeah $25 ain't to bad for 30 minutes of truly monitored practice. probably more effective than a couple of hours of range time guessing at what you are doing.
I ain't never ate no shrink . . . shot at one once though . . . missed 'em.
