Extensive use of Video Analysis is Key
Steve may use a video camera during lessons because often it is difficult for a golfer to "feel" the mechanics in their own swing that affect ball striking and ball flight. This tool gives the golfer immediate feedback and visual confirmation about swing technique.
The video system allows for frame by frame advancement of the student's swing, as well as side-by-side comparison to professional players so that the student can visualize exact desired changes in the golf swing.
