I'd assume a good way to do it would be to centre the body (not sure which part would be ideal.....prolly the right shoulder or something) AND the target in the camera.
Hello everybody,
My first post ever,Love the site alot of great info.I noticed on the photos that either the student moved or the camera was moved two different angles making it look like student is coming more from inside on the comparison. Just a observation.
I watched as Ted gave my Dad and Wife a lesson last month. He has a very nice camera set up outside his studio office at "the swamp". On a normal day, it's like a Doctors office with patients hanging out in the "waiting room" while he is working on his current student project.
The tripod is set at hands high and typically he shoots the downline sequence between the target line and the hands at setup. At least that was my observation.
So at the beginning of the lesson he is working with the student for a few minutes and shoots video of their "normal" swing. Then the camera is detached from the tripod and taken back to the computer for analysis.
There is typically a nice long discussion of what is seen on video and why. Then what he is going to fix and why. Then he takes the camera back out to the range and works on the fixes. Once he is satisfied that the student has made the intended change, the camera is put back on the tripod, quickly adjusted for the new position and the taping begins. Once the swing change is captured back to tape, he goes back to the computer with the student and analyses the change; before and after.
At the end of a long day or between lessons, he posts the raw material and we get the benefit of the nearly instant communication that this medium; The Internet, provides. If there are a few changes in the before and after camera position, it's due to the dynamic nature of teaching "us" amateurs how to swing like the pros...within an hour.
This is the same Fred McCrary from the Superbowl Champion New England Patriots, who presently plays fullback for the Atlanta Falcons. He's one of the nicest men you'll meet. But, after meeting Yoda, he had a nice swing to match. The photos in this post and the one to follow should be viewed in sets of two and from left to right. First the Before and then the After. Quite a difference, wouldn't you say!
Fred McCrary, offensive fullback for the Atlanta Falcons, called tonight...he was back home from a celebrity golf tournament in South Florida and time with friends at the Superbowl. The off-season is when Fred 'gets it done,' and he's rarin' to go.
Fred has been playing golf for six years -- he started in San Diego when he was with the Chargers -- 4 1/2 of which preceded our chance meeting Woodmont C.C., Canton, Georgia, in the summer of 2005. I had just finished up a day's worth of work with V.J. Trolio, GSEM, PGA, who had come over from his home club in West Point, Mississippi, to do some preliminary work on our soon-to-be released videos. Anyway, with V.J. headed down I-75 South toward I-20 West, I decided to hit a few balls at the far end of the range.
That's when Fred came on the scene. He introduced himself and said he had been watching me. He was very enthusiastic and asked how I was getting the results he was seeing. Before you know it, I was watching Fred hit balls.
It's what I do.
Fred was a 19 handicap at the time.
Today, he plays competitively at 9. That's a 10-stroke reduction (52 percent) in less than 18 months.
It goes without saying that Fred is a 'driven' person. Once he discovered his possibilities, his goal immediately became to break 80. He did so twice last year -- a highlight was his 79 at Harbor Town (the PGA TOUR stop on Hilton Head Island) at an Atlanta Falcons organization outing -- and his 'PB' (Personal Best) is now 77.
This year, his goal is a 5-handicap, and his call tonight was to schedule time on Thursday.
Hi Yoda. could you please explain level hands to me.Sorry for the dumb question,but if I dont ask I,ll never know.Thank you in advance.
By the way,watched your vids on basic and aquired motion,love em,I have started to practice these,will be a slow journey but should be worth it....TERRY
