Do many of you watch videos of your golf swing in order to improve? I've been playing for over 35 years and have never really seen my own swing aside from some photos of myself in varying swing positions, and not many of those. I play pretty well, and I'm not sure if seeing a video of myself would help me. People tell me my swing looks pretty nice, but I know by feel that it's somewhat limited as I've gained a lot of weight as I've gotten older. I'm not sure I want to see it at this point, because I have a bit of a "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" mindset, especially at my current weight. I know by feel what I'm doing wrong when I'm swinging poorly, and seeing a video of myself might complicate things for me if it caused me to pick my swing apart.

I know that having my wife and daughter watch videos of themselves swinging has made swing deficiencies easier for them to understand. Deficiencies that I have trouble explaining to them. They both take lessons from a coach I worked with as a teen, and he trusts me to explain what he wants them to do when we're between lessons. Having them watch their swings has made explaining swing plane, hand position, and follow through/weight shift easier.

Watching videos of your swing, yea or nay?
