I helped build CoachNow from the ground up.

Forget scattered texts and missed emails, this is your all-in-one hub for swing videos, voiceovers, annotations, and training plans. Used by world-class coaches and trusted by thousands, CoachNow isn’t just software, it’s a game-changer.
Start by Recording Your Swing Like This
How do I film my golf swing for analysis and review?
Start with two simple angles, Face-On and Down-the-Line. Record from hand height, keep the entire swing in frame, and you’re golden.
Whether you’re a scratch player or a range rat trying to break 90, how you film your swing can make or break your progress. Trust me, I’ve reviewed thousands of swings as a coach. Good angles lead to better feedback, leading to faster improvement.
And here’s the kicker: your first online golf lesson is 100% free.
That’s right. Just send a video of your swing, and I’ll break it down personally, with voiceover, markups, and simple drills to get you back on track.
However, first, let’s ensure your video is helpful.
Face-On: The Setup Detective
What it is: A direct shot from the front. Think “camera making eye contact with the golfer.”
Best Practices:
Camera Height: Around waist or hand height
Orientation: Landscape is best, but portrait works too
Tripod: Huge difference keeps the video stable and consistent
Frame the Full Swing: No club head disappearing on the backswing
Why it matters: This angle shows grip, posture, sway, balance, and face control. It’s your go-to for checking setup flaws and lower body movement.
Down-the-Line: The Truth Teller
What it is: Shot from behind and slightly off the trail, aimed down your target line.
Best Practices:
Same hand-height rule applies
Camera should be lined up with your toe line, not the ball
Lay down an alignment stick so we can see your aim
Repeatable setup = easier tracking over time
This view shows the swing path, shoulder rotation, club plane, and whether you’re over-the-top or stuck inside. Most online coaches start with this angle, so get it right.
Consistency = Real Progress
Here’s what separates the pros from the grinders: repeatable feedback.
Filming in different lighting, from various angles, with random camera heights? That’s like using a broken scale. You’ll never know if you’re improving.
Same angle. Same setup. Every time.
