Video swing analysis revolutionized the way golf is taught, but players have had to rely on teaching professionals to analyze their swing videos -- until now. "The Picture-Perfect Golf Swing" is the first-ever complete guide to using a digital video camera to develop the perfect golf swing, on your own.
One of "Golf Magazine"'s Top 100 Teachers, Michael Breed has long used video analysis to correct the swings of his students. At the core of Breed's teaching approach is the idea that seeing is believing: when you actually see the flaws of your swing, you can truly understand what you are doing wrong, and you can fix the problem more quickly and effectively. By using this book, golfers won't have to rely on professionals to tell them what they're doing wrong -- they can see it for themselves. "The Picture-Perfect Golf Swing" offers practical guidance for analyzing, assessing, and correcting your mistakes just like a professional -- but without paying a professional rate.
Whether as a complement to swing analysis software or on its own, "The Picture-Perfect Golf Swing" is a must-have tool for everyone using digital video to master their swing. Fully illustrated with photographs showing fundamentally sound swing mechanics, the book also includes instructions on setting up a camera, choosing the best accessories for filming, selecting the correct shutter speed, using a remote control, and much, much more.

Carlos is a dedicated, talented coach who has pushed me beyond my limits to improve my times. I didn't participate in sports when I was in school because I came from a very different education system where academic achievement was more important than anything else. By the time I got into triathlon, I was a journalist holding down a very demanding job. I had little time to train, and often had to skip key workouts. But Carlos worked with me to maximize my efforts, allowing me to reach the finish line in a time that I could be proud of. I'm forever grateful to him for my gains in fitness, endurance and confidence. More important, I'm grateful to him for bringing the best out of me, and for his encouragement. He liked to say, "Don't be afraid." You'll find that attitude throughout this book.Angela LauSan Diego Union Tribune journalist
