VidFuego Plan the swing views
Help your students see a swing from both sides, remember the lesson and understand what to practice next. Start with a simple two-phone setup.
10 guides for your next shoot
Agree on the point you want to teach, then put the phones where they can show it. Keep them outside the swing and ball paths, and save a quick note about the positions for next time.
Set up two views for your next golf lesson.
Two-Phone Golf Lessons: Down-the-Line and Face-On Views ↗Check whether your recording can show the moment you need.
Golf Swing Recording: What Synchronized Phones Can and Cannot Prove ↗Keep your down-the-line camera position consistent.
Down-the-Line Golf Video: Aligning the Camera with the Lesson ↗Put one phone down the line and another facing the golfer. You'll see the same swing from two useful viewpoints, making it easier to talk through the lesson without asking the player to imagine what happened behind them.
Read guideBefore you film, decide what you need to see. A pair of phone views can help you explain a swing, but a precise look at impact may need a different recording system.
Read guideAsk your instructor which line the camera should follow, then keep that position consistent. Moving the phone a little to one side can make the same swing look different, so save a note about where you put it.
Read guideGive the golfer enough room in the picture to make a full swing and finish naturally. A face-on view helps you talk about what you can see; it doesn't tell you how pressure is moving through their feet.
Read guideStart with a view that shows the golfer, ball and target. Then add a closer view only if it helps your student see the part of the stroke you're explaining.
Read guideHave a swing clip you can use? Record yourself explaining one moment in it. Keep the lesson focused, and check the layout before promising an overlay or a perfectly matched swing comparison.
Read guideKeep a simple record of the club, drill, target and phone positions at each lesson. That makes it easier to compare sessions without mistaking a new camera angle for a change in the golfer's swing.
Read guideAt the range, start by finding places where your phones won't get in anyone's way. Film a short test in the actual sunlight before you settle in for the lesson.
Read guideA small simulator bay fills up quickly. Start with two useful views, leave the golfer and instructor room to move, and check that the full swing fits before adding more equipment.
Read guideSend your student a short clip with one clear observation and one next practice task. Two understandable views will help more than a long collection of swings with no explanation.
