It is spring now in New Hampshire and my heart is singing. That long dark winter is but a memory. This is OUR New Hampshire:

But I digress, Golf has reemerged, the lessons, hopes, plans and dreams are ripe for testing. I have some new outdoor “stuff”. I reset-up my net. I have a new 3’ x 4’ mirror which I built a frame for and with a piece of piano hinge I have a standing frame on the back. A large mirror is important because I can see the entire motion at much closer distance. I have a NEW casio camera which is the best thing I got this year. I tested the camera outdoors over the weekend and discovered that Look, Look , Look takes a slo-mo camera. What I was feeling is not exactly what I am doing. The camera will be like having an instructors eyes 24-7. It will get me to a “whole new level”. I set it on a tripod looking over the top of my mirror from head on or “down the line”. I call this my “string plane” view. I have a semi-circle net . I set a plane line to the center – base of the net. I take a piece of masonry line and use a tee to fasten in the ground at net end of plane line and clip to net frame at top plane line. This makes adjusting easy. I use a second piece of masonry line at the camera end of the plane line again fastened with a tee on the plane line and attached with a clip to a tall vertical rod under a “top of plane “ position. (I have a javelin which is easy to put in the ground and move whenever I reposition the net- I use to be a catcher, LOL) . With the “string plane” set up properly the camera can be positioned EXACTLY on plane. The plane will show-up well in the pictures Nuff for now, got to go make some Really Ugly motion disappear.
