Acclaimed golf teaching professional Michael Breed offers the first ever complete guide to using a video camera to analyze, develop and improve your golf swing.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars You need to video yourself to improve
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2014
Verified Purchase
If you want to improve your golf swing you need to video yourself. A high-speed camera is a plus but even a smart phone video is better than nothing. As many golf pros have stated while troubleshooting a swing fault, "what you feel is most likely NOT what you're doing".

This book is the only one I found that teaches the proper video technique - and most importantly - how to establish the proper viewing angle for consistent diagnostic and evaluation. Without video consistency you can't reliably identify your swing faults.

It will also teach you the proper swing component checkpoints. Plus you won't become dependent on a golf pro (big $$$) every time something goes wrong with you swing.

Recommendation: Pick up Jim Hardy's DVD 4-disc video set "The Plane Truth for Golfers" to understand the proper swing fundamentals. These will teach you what swing elements to look for in YOUR swing video.

5.0 out of 5 stars just what I was looking for - and more
Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2013

Video recording of the golf swing is, in my mind, the best traing aid you can use. It is amazing to see wha you actually do compared to what you think you do. I have made a lot of improvement as a result of seeing myself swing. I'm an analytical person, and so I decided to get this book to learn how to analyze my swing like I see Michael Breed do on Swing Fix. What are the proper view points? What lines should I use to evaluate what I do versus should do? etc. Not only does this book explain this, it also provides a lot of detail on the proper swing.
It exceeded my expectations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Photographic Golfer
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2010

Michael Breed is a master of two separate career skills: golf-action-photographer and professional-golf-instructor. Buying this book you get two-for the price of one in that you learn much about taking golf-swing-videos, and at the same time--with this book--you get a large helping of golf instruction. As Michael has told about on his regular Golf Channel show (presently out on Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's break--will return to his TV work early in 2011) he broke in to television with his video camera and a full mind of things to share in golf. He--literally--made up a video keyed on teaching golf, sent it into Golf Channel, they considered the audition, put it aside for approximately five-years, became interested in the possibilities, gave him a call with an offer, he accepted, and the rest is history. His popularity is over the top! On his Golf Fix show on Golf Channel he definitely gives you your money's worth, and the same with his book The Picture Perfect Golf Swing. If it's possible for anyone to give 200% on anything, it's Michael Breed and this book. Try it...you, too, might break-in to TV....

Most people don't know how their real swing are and I was shocked also after taking pictures of my real swing is.
This book let people know the importance of video analyzing and help people improve their swing by themselves with video camera. Kodak playsports is fantastic in taking pictures and anylazing.

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2010

This is a modern day approach to the golf swing, given the use of video assisted instruction. Basics of the ideal camcorder, shooting the video and analyzing the video are outlined. Additionally, a focus upon genuine fundametals with photographs illustrate the key points. The swing is broken down methodically and drills to reinforce the proper concepts are included.

This is an excellent book for any beginner or intermediate golfer,

Absolutely the best thing to ever happen to my golf game was studying this book. Breed teaches you to be your own coach with the aid of a video camera. This is not just the run-of-the-mill golf swing book. Michael teaches you how the pros do it! Exactly what I wanted. Thank you, Michael!
