Video your motion to make sure you are doing what you think you are doing. Use a camara with a high speed shutter 1/2000 speed should do. When I film students the response I usually get is 1. Is that really my swing? 2. Am I really that fat?

Yes, that is your motion, I tell them. BTW, the camara adds ten pounds, but there is only one camara on you .

Boy, I agree with the camera comment. I did that and instantly saw my errors. I was hitting behind a bit and thought my hands were in front (they were but not by much). I worked on it and much better.

Plus, I did look kind of fat.

I shutter to think of the exposure!
Thanks Richie,

Video is great for checking your Impact Alignments, as well as many other mission critical alignments. The difference between feel and real.

Not to get off subject but...
Do you really want to know if you are overweight or obese?

Use the Body Mass index (BMI) formula (at your own risk):

BMI=
(Weight in Pounds/(Height in inches * Height in inches))* 703

Target less than 25
Overweight 25-29.9
Obese 30 or Higher

It is estimated that 65% of adults in the US are overweight or obese .

Example: Male 6'3" or 75 inches
195 lbs

(195/(75*75))*703= 24.37 (I am ok for the moment)

With the camera adding ten pounds the number goes to 25.62. Now I appear overweight. Good thing I am usually the one behind the lens .

Welcome back Drew, we missed you and your sometimes obscure humor

Agreed that video can show you a lot and if you think you are doing something, then video can be used to confirm it.
