Getting Started
The Graves Golf Academy Internet Golf Academy (GGAIGA) is an excellent way to accomplish your
goals with your golf swing. As an online instruction/coaching program, the GGAIGA allows you to
receive valuable feedback about your golf swing, putting stroke, chipping stroke, and pitching stroke to
allow you to always be assured of practicing correctly, and most importantly, always improving.
To get started using the GGAIGA, simply follow the instructions that follow.
Equipment Checklist:
Digital Camera with video capability. We recommend the Casio Exilim line
of digital still cameras with high speed video capability. Models include: EX-
FS10, EX-FC100
USB Cable. Most cameras have a USB output, and come with a USB cable to
connect to your computer.
A desktop or laptop computer with a USB input port (Standard on nearly all computers).
Set Up your V1 Golf Academy Account
The first step in using the GGAIGA is to set up your V1 Golf Academy account. The V1 Golf Academy is
our partner in the GGAIGA, and it is through their software and online services that we are able to offer

Capturing Swing Footage
Using a digital video camera
We recommend using a digital camera with a video capability for the
Internet Golf Academy. A great camera is the Casio Exilim EX-FS10. This
camera is inexpensive while it provides excellent quality video footage.
In addition, this camera will shoot High Speed video, which is especially
helpful for capturing golf swing footage.
How to capture swing footage
When you are capturing swing footage, the best quality will be in the “High Speed, 210FPS” mode.
To capture your swing footage for the GGA IGA, you will need to
get video from 2 angles; Down the Line and Face On. From each
angle, your camera should be 12-15 feet from you, and on a tripod
for stability.
To capture the Down the Line angle, you will place the camera 12-
15 feet behind you, pointing down your target line. You can see an
example in the picture to the right.
To capture the Face On angle, you will place the camera 12-15 feet
in front of you, pointing at your chest. You can see an example in
the picture on the left.

Capturing Swing Footage (cont.)
How to capture swing footage (cont.)
In addition to the Down the Line and Face On angles, you will also
need to capture a close-up of your grip. This is easiest to
accomplish from the Face On angle.
While recording the Face On angle, take your setup like you are
going to hit the shot, and then WITHOUT CHANGING your grip,
walk towards the camera.
How many swings do I capture?
When capturing you swing footage, you only need to capture 1-2 swings from each angle with either a
Driver or 6 iron. There is no need for you to video an entire practice session to upload to the GGA IGA.
One or two swings with a Driver or 6 iron from the Face On and Down the Line angles, along with a close
up your grip will be sufficient for a thorough review from GGA.
