I'm really working on my swing improvement (with evolvr) and play 1-2 rounds per week.  My best round is 96  around a short course, SSS of 67.  I don't feel confident enough to use any of my woods or hybrid so my 4 iron is the longest club I use.  My ball flight is generally a cut with the longer irons due to my OTT swing. My average GIR is 20% and my putts per hole average is 2.0.

Clubs - Ping G10 - 4-SW and 18° Hybrid, Taylormade 3W

What if anything should I purchase or do next to aid my progress.  Thanks

Matt

I am right where you are. Shooting around 100. Here is what I have been doing and my recommendations if they count for anything...

- lessons. you are getting them through evolvr. I am too. Keep that up definitely. If you are going to spend more money get more lessons. :)

- learning to drive. get a driver and learn to drive. you should definitely have one and learn to use it. i have seen experts say beginners should learn to drive first and experts say they should learn to drive last. so i guess its up to you. personally i like driving and LSW wins says its your most important shot to get good at.

- get Lowest score wins. it will help show you what you should focus on and give you good practice tips. its only like $30 and a good quick read

- i just picked up the golf app V1 analyzer. It was like $4 on android. essentially i can compare my evolvr videos to pros side by side. its awesome. i can see what i am messing up. It also helps my evolvr lessons because i can see when they tell me to do something how i am not and how the pros are. I think this was an awesome 4 dollar investment.

- otherwise just get out there and play/practice. i am still not sure if i should be spending more time on the range or course but i figure either is super helpful for us since we are just learning

Driver - Ping G15 12 Degree Loft
3W - Ping G10
3 Hyrbrid - Ping G15
4-PW - Taylormade Burner 2.0
Putter - Ping Anser 2

Hi, thanks for the reply, you've made some great recommendations!

My evolvr lessons are great and I initially contemplated having extra one to one coaching locally but as I've been told and found out to my cost, good instructors are very hard to find.  Also, something

@iacas said in this post really sums it up.......

No matter how many lessons I have and who with, makes no difference if I don't commit the time to making the change!  I won't have a coach by me every time I play.......although it would be nice!

I've got a Driver, probably not a very good one but that doesn't really matter at the minute.  I have been saying that I need to start practicing with my Driver and Woods, lack of distance is definitely holding me back.  I will endeavour to take the head cover off this week and give it a blast.

Could not agree more!  I don't know why I didn't include this in my poll...............it's getting ordered tonight!

I might have to treat myself, just to laugh at the fact that I will have no similarities to a pro's swing!

Thanks again for your post, it sure is great to know that there are other people out there who are new and learning the game even though it's quite late for me.  I'm not one to regret many things but I do wish I had started learning earlier in life........ que sera sera!

All the best for your swing and I will keep an eye out for your progress.  Good luck, Matt

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

      By iacas ·

      https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.

      Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.

      I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
