Video Swing Analysis
Learn and see exactly what your swing looks like! This lesson can be scheduled on the field or in the cage at Horse Park Polo Club in Woodside. In this lesson, our pro will film your swing and discuss your technique. You then will both watch the video to discuss where changes need to be made in real time. Then you practice the corrections in the same lesson!
You will be sent the video file after the lesson so you can watch your swing dynamics and focus on adjustments you need to make. This is invaluable not only to see your swing, but also your body position and balance.
The cost for swing analysis is $125.00 per hour, horse not included. Please contact South Bay Polo if you need to rent a horse. Packages of 5 lessons are also available at a discount.
