You can use golf video instruction two different ways. First, the traditional lessons provided by experienced pros are always personally helpful. Second, you can ask a friend to record your swing for a side-by-side comparison.

One of the greatest advantages of using golf video instruction is the ability to watch the timing of a good swing. Most average players seem to swing too fast. Television coverage of PGA tournaments is fantastic but is a poor substitute for a professional lesson. When watching a lesson, notice how a great player tends to linger slightly longer at the top. The down swing also begins slowly before rapid acceleration near the ball. The action is similar to cracking a whip.

After watching a great swing, play back your personal recording. The difference in total elapsed time may hold the key for lower scores.

If your game is suffering, you might consider getting some basic golf training. Most instructors can help you improve in a hurry, and if you don’t get instruction, you may find that you can’t improve easily on your own. Even if you just buy a video series, some kind of basic golf training is a good idea.

In some cases, I’ve found that a video series can give you better golf training than a lot of instructors. All golf instructors aren’t created equally, and they usually get top notch experts for a golf video. Tapes are also be a little less expensive, so that’s something else in their favor.
