Slow-Motion Mechanics Breakdown

Break down a specific mechanical skill frame-by-frame to identify the root cause of a fault

Review 8-10 clips of the same skill in slow motion

Demonstration video coming soon

Instructions

  1. 1Select 8-10 clips of the same skill, such as your stride or shot release.
  2. 2Play each clip in slow motion, pausing frame-by-frame at the key mechanical moment.
  3. 3Compare against a model example of correct mechanics for that skill.
  4. 4Note the exact frame where your mechanics diverge from the model.

What to focus on

Pinpointing the exact frame where mechanics break down.

Common mistake

Watching at full speed and missing the precise moment of the fault.
