Best Practices for Recording Strokes
Before the Courts
- Select Stroke to record.
- Choose a Pro from VOTSA library.
- Make note of the court position of the Pro so the videographer can capture similar view when recording the student.
At the Courts
- Position the student on the court so the sun shines on the racquet side of the swing.
- Position the student in the same court position of the Pro in the video.
- Record on the racquet side of the student.
- Record clips in groups of 4 swings of the stroke (except for the serve). For example, start recording and have the student take 4 swings then stop recording. Repeat this sequence 3 to 4 times or until a desired stroke is captured. For the Serve, record 1 Serve per recording until a desired Serve is captured.
- Be sure the student and racquet are visible in the viewfinder throughout the swing.
- The use of zoom is allowed when recording.
