Benefits of the V1 App
The V1 app provides golfers with video analysis and putting drills to help them understand the reality of their swing versus what they are feeling. The app also allows golfers to compare their swings before and after making changes, which can help them set realistic goals.
Brett Meyer emphasizes the importance of getting the basics right from the start, such as grip, alignment, ball position, and balance.
Using the V1 App
Brett Meyer recommends downloading the V1 golf app and sending video of your swing to a professional for feedback. Myer then shows the proper way to video your swing to send to coaches using the V1 Pro app or V1 video analysis software.
