Kris, Filming your swing is a great way to bridge the gap between what you think you're doing and what you're actually doing in your swing. However, filming can also be over done and actually become hurtful. That being said, let a trained professional make the final evaluation of what you need to work on. The most important thing about filming your swing is that you need to make sure you film from the same distance, height, and camera angle everytime. If you have an instructor ask them how they film and from what angles, exactly, so you can do it the same way. Filming from different angles everytime would make your swing look different everytime. You'd never be able to truly compare any swings. On the back view, you'll want to be about 10 yds away and about 5 yds away on the front view. Make sure the camera is on a tripod about chest height. On the front view use or make a t-square on the ground so you can be square to your target. Line up the camera to the t-square. As far as the back view, I film and recommend filming on the target line. I think it's easier to line up the ball and your target consistently than putting the camera on the body/toe line. That's all you need to do. When you look through the view finder or the screen on the camera, make sure the ball and the target are lined up. If the target is to the right, move to the right, and vice versa for the left. Let me know if this helps or you have more questions. Have you guys seen the NEW Fastback putter! WOW

Michael Breed, host of the Golf Fix and Titleist guy, published an entire book on video taping your swing called "The Picture-Perfect Golf Swing: The Complete Guide to Golf Swing Video Analysis." Michael covers a section on picking the right camera and tells you what camera angles to use.   I think the book is a great resource, but does not compare to having a PGA professional watch your swing.

 

Good Luck!
