Fix Your Golf Swing (Part II)
In my previous Fix Your Golf Swing Post, I provided information about a website where you can have your swing analyzed by PGA Director of Instruction, Brant Kasbohm. He is the founder of fixyourgame.com. In part two, I'm going to show you the result of me submitting my video for analysis. Based on how I played yesterday, this might be coming at the perfect time for me.
The Analysis
I'll be the first to admit, it's a little scary seeing your swing if you have not done this before. You have a vision in your mind of what your swing looks like and you may (or may not) want to keep it that way. The only way to get better is to try not only new things, but the right things.
Once I submitted my video and filled out the questionnaire, I received a prompt e-mail saying my video has been received and I will receive a custom lesson report within 48 hours. I think I had it back within 24 hours so they certainly kept their word.
A link to the video via YouTube was sent to me along with a copy I can download. If you don't want it on YouTube just ask and they remove it but it makes viewing very easy. Here is my custom lesson report:
For those of you not sure, my swing is the less attractive one on the left. As you see in the video, Brant not only explains what I need to work on but also demonstrates this so I can see it as well. The side by side analysis allows me to see what I'm doing and see what I should be doing.
Brant doesn't waste any time. He goes into a couple of things I need to work on including spine angle and ball placement. I know I need to work on where the ball should be placed in my stance but I had no idea about spine angle. Already, I learned something new.
Do I Only Get a Video?
No. Inside the e-mail Brant sends are a few paragraphs explaining what I can work on. He also points out anything I do well. Unfortunately, he told me to stick to hockey... just kidding. In this case he complimented my grip, one less thing I need to work on!
It's written in an easy to understand way. This is an excerpt from Brant's e-mail to me:
