Most people want Rory’s swing without putting in hours of practice. You can video your swing in your own yard, ball not needed. At the range I give a thumbs up or down after a swing because the camera can’t see where the ball went. By the way the driving range behind the Walmart on 466 has a few stations with shot tracers. Video screen shows track of the ball and estimates carry

I wholeheartedly agree about using video.
I was 30, in a place with long winters, when I first became addicted to this great game 40 years ago. I started taking my VHS camera with a tripod to the range and would turn to it after every shot and indicate which way it went and how well I made contact. This helped tremendously and was the single best thing I did in becoming better, including taking a half-dozen or so lessons in the beginning from a professional teacher (who didn't use any video).
