運用錄影設備來拍攝高爾夫學習者的揮桿姿勢，然後根據影片呈現的缺點加以修正，已經不是新鮮事。但是，在本書出版之前，學習者必須仰賴他的教練為他做分析與指導。本書作者Michael Breed為高爾夫球雜誌(Golf Magazine)選出的百大名師之一，他將在本書中告訴讀者，如何自己就可以運用錄影設備來拍攝，並且由您自己為自己做分析，就像擁有一名高球名將、名師在家為您作專人輔導。

所謂”工欲善其事，必先利其器”，本書從數位錄影器材的選擇、拍攝開始談起，再談高爾夫揮桿的基本知識，接下來開始準備揮桿練習，進而分析自己的揮桿姿勢，以及如何進行自我精進的訓練。全書搭配清楚的照片圖解，更能夠幫助讀者按部就班的自我學習，輕鬆享受名師的夢幻教學。

Summary
　

Video swing analysis revolutionized the way golf is taught, but players have had to rely on teaching professionals to analyze their swing videos -- until now. The Picture-Perfect Golf Swing is the first-ever complete guide to using a digital video camera to develop the perfect golf swing, on your own.

One of Golf Magazine's Top 100 Teachers, Michael Breed has long used video analysis to correct the swings of his students. At the core of Breed's teaching approach is the idea that seeing is believing: when you actually see the flaws of your swing, you can truly understand what you are doing wrong, and you can fix the problem more quickly and effectively. By using this book, golfers won't have to rely on professionals to tell them what they're doing wrong -- they can see it for themselves. The Picture-Perfect Golf Swing offers practical guidance for analyzing, assessing, and correcting your mistakes just like a professional -- but without paying a professional rate.

Whether as a complement to swing analysis software or on its own, The Picture-Perfect Golf Swing is a must-have tool for everyone using digital video to master their swing. Fully illustrated with photographs showing fundamentally sound swing mechanics, the book also includes instructions on setting up a camera, choosing the best accessories for filming, selecting the correct shutter speed, using a remote control, and much, much more.
