I’m a huge fan of using video feedback to analyze my golf swing, both during lessons and during my practice sessions. Recently, I’ve discussed video feedback in a couple of posts. But there’s one problem: when I go out to the range and find a spot at the far end and set up my camera, I feel like such a dork. Why? No good reason. But I can just feel people looking at me, [...]

I play my irons +1/2″ in length and with grips that are slightly fatter than standard. [...]
