Here are a few tips to get you started:
- It helps to have a tripod or something to rest the camera or smartphone on.
- Position yourself directly behind the student, this is the down-the-line shot.
- Height of camera should be hand-high when at your address position
- Begin recording and hit two shots with whatever club you want.
- Stop recording and move camcorder to the face-on position
- Record two more shots with the same club.
- Stop recording
- Review your video to make sure you can see your entire body and club swinging within the screen.
