Brian will occasionally use "Coaches Eye" during this style of training. Coach's Eye is the most effective way to provide meaningful feedback to his students, so we can make rapid improvements. He can analyze your draw with slow-motion and playback for immediate feedback.  He has the ability draw/mark on the video and he can even send the video to you for future reference.
