Anyone ever used this service?

It seems like a good idea. You record your swing with a video camera and email it to this crowd on ebay. They respond with a swing analysis and tips.

There are easier ways to get advice.

How much is it? Linky didn't work for me.

10 pages is huge.

Is it done by Professionals??

Is it helpful to you?

doesn't seem worth it to me. go to a pro and have a lesson for that, the hard bit isn't finding things wrong it is putting them right.

suspicious first post from OP but left for now.

Seems to be.

"Within 5 business days you will receive a full swing analysis from a pro golf instructor with personalized swing analysis, tips, lessons, exercises etc. that you can implement immediately. Your can print this document and take it to the range, instructor etc. "

I like the idea of being able to print out a document rather than getting a clip back as you will probably forget what they say. Could bring the doc to the range.

I think Ill give it a go. For €40 not much to loose!

Well, you could lose €40

I have to say I find it strange that the ebay user is a member only since the 7th of Jan and you joined here a year ago and yet this is your first post?

A 10 page report sounds impressive but the amount of good information may be debatable.

You need a couple of strong pointers rather than lots of stuff that will confuse you. Telling you that your swing is too flat is one thing but you need to be told what to work on to change it.

Well give it a go then and post a link to the advice so we can see how useful it is.

Running Bing

Thats ridiculous tbh.

It says nothing about who is doing the analysing....Im a beginner, awful at the game and Im the last person you'd want advice from but send me a video of your swing and Ill send you back a ten page report telling you your left arm is bent, your swing is off plane, your stance is too opened/close, your wrist is bowed/cupped at the top, your initiating your down swing with your hands, your moving your right leg....I'll tell you what the result of those mistakes will be and what you should be doing....of course it will all be as useless as tits on a wild boar hog.


Id advice you spend the money on a lesson op but something tells me your not looking for advice;)

PhilipMarlowe

Yeah it stinks that there is no name given for who is giving the 'advice'.

I've seen a swing analysis service offered before but at least it is on a named pro's website and the same guy has tons of free video tutorials on youtube so you'll know as much as you'd want to know about the guy before you pay for his report on your swing... cost is $30 by the way.....

Pretty suspicious posting, but even if its is legit I wouldn't touch this service with a bargepole.

There's ways of fixing problems and improving your swing, but i wouldn't use this one for all the tea in you know where.

agreed, if he is a shill though it's backfired based on the responses...


Now, where is my credit card so I can buy a useless service from an ebayer with 0 feedback...

Yeah, I have my bank details, home address and mother's maiden name ready to give him just in case he needs it. I can't wait for the 10 Page analysis of my swing. 10 whole pages, wow :pac:

Relax lads, it's all legitimate. Here is the guy that does all the analysis

Hi,


Thanks for sharing the useful information.


Here is an important tip about a natural golf swing.


Keep the left arm straight (right handed players) during the backswing and go back as far as you can. Your tempo is dictated really by your personality, some people are naturally slow movers so will have a slower tempo while others tend to move faster so do what is most comfortable for you.

Go look at Calvin Pete's swing.

Something fishy about your post btw.

Just to let ye know golf digest are doing swing analysis free all you have to do is upload a video of your swing it might not be ten pages but it is free
