The Illusion Created by Filming From Only One Angle
A rear view shows direction and spacing, while a side view shows contact and balance; they answer different questions.
Start with this check
Wide-angle distortion and camera position can make the racquet path and ball position look different from reality.
Try these steps in order
- From centered behind the court, film a full view that includes the court, feet, and contact point.
- From the side, separately film how far forward contact occurs and how the body balances.
- Compare only one item at a time with coaching video or your own earlier footage.
Bottom line
Video is not a mirror that supplies the answer; it is an observation tool that answers a different question from each angle.
