Ok.  I got my evolvr back from Brian, I will work on what he gave me there and see if I can get it straightened out.  Thanks for the reply.  The only thing I would like to see is a dtl view of the drill that Brian gave me to do.  Is there any way I could get one?  Thanks again.

Hopefully I'm better tomorrow

Yeah shaft is too steep at A5, then you have stand the handle up from A6-7, tends to get the face aimed too far right.

Brian gave me the feels of keeping my left shoulder lower and/or my back to the target longer.  I like those, but would another feel be to keep my right elbow lower than my left?  I am still working on keeping my arms more in front of my chest on my back swing and the feel I use is my right elbow staying down and try to point it at the ball.  Seems to work good for me.  If I could stick with a right elbow feel on the down swing I think it would simplify things.

I got rid of the push by getting my right hand more on top of the club.  I have to keep an eye on that as it always seems to find a way to get turned to far under all of the time.  I will still hit an occasional high push/slice and sometimes a low duck hook, if my hands decide to try and save the high push/slice, with my longer clubs.  When these shots happen it feels like my body is pulling up and away from the golf ball.  Are these shots related to me being to steep at A5?  Thanks

Better with the head. I like the depth of the arms, much better than the previous swing. Keep doing that but practice it with rotating the forearms much less. Might even feel like you rotate your left forearm counter clockwise, emphasis that it's a feel. Might also feel that the left elbow is pointing towards the ground at A3 (left arm parallel to the ground on the backswing).

I have still been struggling with the straight push and straight push fade lately.  I have weakened my right hand grip(getting it more on top of the club, I have a tendency to let it get way under), and that might be contributing to my push problem.   Yesterday while playing and struggling with the pushes, I got the feeling of turning my left arm(hand) counter clockwise (pointing elbow and hand more towards the ground)on my take away and all the way through my back swing.  I started hitting fairways and greens :dance: .  I am just wondering if this is an ok feeling to have or if it is a band aid to cover up my terrible swing path?   I revisited my swing thread and came across this post.  Would what I am doing on the left cause the club face to roll open compared to what Zach is doing on the right?

Not sure why you think it would be a band aid. The picture needs to change so you have to feel something different in order to get the shaft pointing at or inside the the ball.

The left pic could result in a face that is too far right or left at impact.

A 6i swing of me trying to get my back swing steeper.  Don't know if what I am doing here is better or worse than what I normally do.  Thing I like is my hands don't come over the top to start my down swing.  Looking for some input on what others think of this swing compared to my last swing posted here.

My head still comes through the wall and than backs out of the shot on the way down.  I know mvmac has mentioned to me to set up more on my toes and I feel like I am doing that, but am still having troubles with the head moving towards the ball on the back swing and away from the ball in the down swing.  What is causing this?   Thanks as always.

Hopefully I'm better tomorrow

Things I am working on:

1)  Steady head:  I have a tendency to have it go forward towards my target from A4-5

2)  Shoulder turn:  I tend to not make a full shoulder turn

3)  Getting my arms to come down faster to prevent my left shoulder from getting to high, which causes me to dump my wrist angle early

Think I am making some decent progress.  Looking for some feedback or feels that others have used for these pieces, or other pieces you see that I will need to work on in the future.

Hopefully I'm better tomorrow

Nice work dude! Exactly how I wanted to see the picture change.

Haven't done much constructive practice of late.  The little I have done, I have been focusing on steady head and weight forward.  I am going to try and get more practice in over the next 30 days and try and make some strides.

On these videos I was focusing on shallowing the club from A4 to A5.  I wasn't focusing on steady head or weight forward.  To my untrained eye, those 2 keys dont look that bad?  I am looking for some input and where you guys think my practice should be focused on.

Hopefully I'm better tomorrow

    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
