The importance of video

[Hot_pocket]

I feel a difference when i bowl every week. I also have video that shows me im doing something different every time i bowl. This video is the most recent one i have of myself

@Bill and 1820: would you guys video a new guy who doesn't have a consistent approach/release? I've video'd myself plenty but now that I'm about to go for coaching I'm thinking the video has no purpose until I take a few lessons. What do you think?

Yes I would. Why? Because when you try to tell someone what they are doing they don't always accept it as fact because it's not what it feels to them. I taped my 6 year old nephew today. He was doing the finish fine off the lane but kept finishing on the wrong foot on the lane. Then he wanted to argue with me so I showed him the video. Until the client buys into what you are telling them they will not progress at the rate they could or should.

Plus it's good to have a example of the "Before" to compare to the "After" to show how the changes you have made and the affects they had.

Okay. My buddy wanted the professional video/breakdown which does cost more but I was arguing against it for myself. I'm easily swayed on this subject though, I'll get it too.
