Anyway, I've been ripping my hair out recently trying to record my swing with my camcorder.

Get a better camcorder, or one which does digital recording.. it probably will capture images better.

I never had a problem with mine...

key steps. Set the tripod aligned with the ball (behind the ball).
Now take some shots from directly behind you.

When you do the replay on a tv (use a white board/dry erase marker, those wipe off a tv easily with a tissue) do the following.

Behind ball.. mark your club shaft before take back and on the down swing, note the difference, there should be little. Do you use the same swing plane?

Behind your back. Put a circle around your hand, and lines along your legs. Does your right leg sway past the line (it shouldn't). Does your head come above or to the right of the original circle (it shouldn't).

When you can fix these things you will improve.

1. fix sway, turn tightly, get the left shoulder under your chin.
2. fix head bob, really try to keep your head still. Don't stand up.


good luck!
