I agree with Jeff as far as IF you have to slow things down this much to see, it probably is not a good call to make. On the other hand, I think that the use of slow motion video can be very effective as a learning tool.
For example, many spin moves and other moves with the ball "don't look right", yet, we should NOT make a travel call simply because it "looks" like a travel. We can make use of slow motion replays to view those types of plays to be able to ascertain when there IS a bonafide travel and when a play that "looks" like one actually isn't.
Once we realize a strange looking play is/isn't a travel in slow motion, we can look at that same play at real speed KNOWING whether it is or isn't a travel to better train our eyes to ONLY make the travel call when the play "looks" like a travel and ACTUALLY IS a travel.
