Hmmmmm, Im not sure...I have two reservations about this...

After spending alot of time practicing indoors, one thing I have noticed is that generally if you look at your stroke in a mirror problems start occuring, mine usually come from not concentrating on a point on the ground to make sure I maintain a stationary head. If you where to do this, take the club back to where you want to check an alignment at a certain point and don't watch the clubhead go back, keep the eyes on a fixed point and then stop and only then check the mirror. It takes a certain amount of discipline do this this as we all want to see our stroke in motion....

Also I really don't like certain things relating to lines drawn on video tapes and have a feeling that this would fall under the same category because there is definately a perspective problem. Our eyes and video cameras produce a perspective view and not an orthagraphic or flat view, therefore the club to what seems like it is on a straight line maybe on plane at parts and offplane on others. If you where to use a perspective view, the only way I like to see it is if you produce an overlay of all frames - kinda like the strobe pictures of Bobby Jones but would prefer to see it at a slight angle at the side going towards the front, not dead on the side.... - I really think that the new golf stroke analysis programs should have an automatic process for this as I believe its the only way to precisely see what is happening.....
