Hello,

I need to work on Key #4 and also getting my shaft pointing out passed the golf ball. (Flatten my swing). I come down very steep right now which I have been slowly working on going from A1 to A2 - Shaft at Parallel. (My wrists are cocked and my hands are just passing my thighs.

My problem now is going from A2, A3 and ending at A4 trying to get the shaft nicely pointing out passed the ball and starting my downswing with my hips turning while not having the shaft get to steep again.

We are trying to get rid of my steepness in my swing and flatten it out.

I'm having a hard visualizing your A4. Can you put up a video?

Yours in earnest, Jason.

It is a common problem that many of us have.  My Evolvr instructor has me doing drills from A4 to A5& A6 where I lay down the shaft in an exaggerated way.  I take my swing from A1 - 4 normal speed and stop.  Then I go to A5 and stop.  Then on to A6.  From A6, I back up a small amount then hit the ball.  Here is a video of me doing the drill.  I am doing it too fast, but you get the idea.

You need to do these drills as described in the thread below.  Check with your Evolvr instructor.

Great information regarding this. Evolvr has helped me so much. What's the best way to contact your instructor regarding this? The notes section on the upload, do you shoot him a pm on here or do you email in?

They should have an e-mail you can use or they are in this forum.  Who do you have?

If you are a visual person, yoga blocks outside the ball may help or try setting up an alignment stick with a swim noodle behind and inside your down the line view.  The concept is that the visual stimulus will help you come more from the inside trying not to hit the yoga blocks or the swim noodle.

I do like Boogielicious's suggestions.   Slow and specific.   Look at the thread he suggested.   It is a great read.

My problem is i am coming in steep and my butt of the club is facing between my feet and ball.

I'm sure Stephan has talked about this but the reason things get steep is because of how your wrists tend to "collapse" as you over-extend your torso towards the end of the backswing. So first thing to focus on would be to shorten the backswing.

Be patient.  Even something that sounds as simple as shortening the backswing can take time to become permanent.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

      What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By snapfade ·

      One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL
