I am thinking of offering a service for golfers and I would like some golfers opinions about this service. I prepared very short and simple survey which shouldn't take more than 3 minutes of your time.

The basic idea would be to offer extreme slow motion video capture of your golf swing so you can watch and analyze to improve your technique. The service would not come with a trainer or any advice but would provide you with extremely detailed, high quality and slow video so you can correct your swing either alone or with the help of others including the internet.

The service would give you:

3 front shots

3 shots from behind

3 shots of the ball being hit to show angle and slicing

1 shot of hands

Please help me out by filling this easy survey about this idea, it would help me and a lot of golfers who could benifit from this service. Thank you!

Here is an example, not recorded by me of the speeds my camera is capable of.

I know nothing about golf, so becoming a golf pro is out of the question.

I am thinking of offering the pros some money if they book their students for a video.

done, one thing i would have added to the survey under the third question would be zoom, that vid needs to be zoomed.

Not a bad idea but would it be an app or something where an instructor goes to your house to analyze and how is this different from any other golf analysis by a pro?

Done! But I know most golf town stores already offer this service, I've never done it, and I could be slightly different.

I think you might be better off contracting yourself out to the pros instead of vice versa. If you got them to advertise lessons with video capturing and charged an extra fee (you getting whatever the extra is) It would probably be better for both of you. then again you'd have to do a bit of running around

As a golfer I know Id want a package deal. My instructor takes slow motion video of me so I can analyze angles and whatnot I need to try and meet within my swing. Having instruction AND video is great, because if you have a video, but no idea what you are trying to see the video alone is rather ineffective.
