Golf Swing Perfection

I am looking to purchase a camcorder to record my golf swing. I am not looking to spend $3,000 on something like the Minolta Swing Vision camera you see them using on TV with the 4000 frames per second. Does anyone have any recommendations for camcorders they have used to record their golf swings that are reasonably priced? Thanks!
The ONLY consumer cameras that even approach what you want are a few of the higher-end Sony consumer camcorders that have the “smooth slow record” feature. Be advised that even though these camcorders are considered “high definition”, when the smooth slow record” feature is invoked, the video quality is degraded (and no longer high definition).

For putting…i use the method…4 inches back=10 ft roll…and say peanut during the backswing and follow thru with butter…any similar tips for the golf swing? Been getting pretty good results with this….anything similar to this for a full golf swing?

Good question from a beginner:

I just began golfing and find that many of the instructional aids don’t discuss what the hands should be doing during the golf swing. My question is should I hinge my wrist towards my forearm or should they hinge towards the sky? Thanks for any help.

This is a common misconception in the golf swing.

You have to sign up for the forum, its free (the forum has pictures too). But I can summarize. Alot of people hear that at address you should raise your hands and then bend your wrists straight up. This is WRONG!

Try this:

Put the club out in front of you parallel to the ground, toe of the club to the sky. Bend your wrists so that the club swings backwards, but stays parallel to the ground with the toe still facing up to the sky. THIS is the correct wrist hinge you should be after.

Took me years to find this out and once I did – I went from a 15 handicap to a 6.
