Video analysis

How does pool video analysis work?

Video analysis is filming your stroke and play — from behind the shot and from the side — to find faults you cannot feel, such as steering, head movement or elbow drop. A coach reviews it and gives specific corrections and drills.

In more detail

Slow-motion phone video is usually enough. Film the same shots each time so changes are easy to compare.

People also ask

What angle should I film my pool stroke from?

Directly behind the cue line (to see steering) and from the side (to see elbow, grip and follow-through).
