Michael,

Thanks for the observant first post and welcome!

I watched as Ted gave my Dad and Wife a lesson last month. He has a very nice camera set up outside his studio office at "the swamp". On a normal day, it's like a Doctors office with patients hanging out in the "waiting room" while he is working on his current student project.

The tripod is set at hands high and typically he shoots the downline sequence between the target line and the hands at setup. At least that was my observation.

So at the beginning of the lesson he is working with the student for a few minutes and shoots video of their "normal" swing. Then the camera is detached from the tripod and taken back to the computer for analysis.

There is typically a nice long discussion of what is seen on video and why. Then what he is going to fix and why. Then he takes the camera back out to the range and works on the fixes. Once he is satisfied that the student has made the intended change, the camera is put back on the tripod, quickly adjusted for the new position and the taping begins. Once the swing change is captured back to tape, he goes back to the computer with the student and analyses the change; before and after.

At the end of a long day or between lessons, he posts the raw material and we get the benefit of the nearly instant communication that this medium; The Internet, provides. If there are a few changes in the before and after camera position, it's due to the dynamic nature of teaching "us" amateurs how to swing like the pros...within an hour.
