Put it into practice
Start 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.
Read guideGive one phone a clear view of the delivery and the other enough context to show the target. Keep both behind protection and out of every throwing lane, then film a short set you can identify later.
Read guideStart with a protected view of the hitter's open side, then add a view that shows the drill around them. Check the whole swing, including the finish, before you tighten the picture.
Read guideKeep the catch, footwork and throw together in the picture. That gives you and the catcher something useful to discuss; if you need an official pop time, use a timing method you can verify.
Read guideAgree on how you'll label pitches before the set starts. A simple, reliable attempt log helps you find the right throw later and keeps feedback attached to what the pitcher was trying to do.
Read guideLeave enough room in the picture for the incoming ball, the fielding action and the next throw. A second view is useful when it shows something the first one hides.
Read guideChoose one point to work on before you film. Watch the hitter's full swing first, then use the second view to make your explanation clearer rather than looking for more things to correct.
