Welcome to The Sand Trap!

The G6 is perfectly adequate for my needs. I remember doing the research and not finding the extra bells and whistles in the G8 worth the extra money to me. Remember, the boss is always right. At least that's what mine tells me 

Heel bladed a 9 iron to about 1 FT. The ball went about 1/4th the normal height, but probably had a ton more spin on it. The ball came in low and just check right next to the hole. 

Correct.  I try to do the practice motions on camera for evolvr in case I'm emphasizing something wrong (as has happened a few times in the past), and that's why they're on the video.  Then the full swing of course.  But I rarely hit a full speed shot in a practice session, certainly not a session shortly after a video.  I'm even starting to get used to the odd looks (and there will be fewer of those when my mat comes in). I will hit full speed shots when finishing a warm-up bucket before a round (not really a practice session) or when I think I'm hitting it decently well and the picture is changing and want to see.  When I'm more comfortable that it's going well and I can do so, I'll move up to a few more full speed swings and grab video for me (and sometimes for evolvr). Semi-related:  after posting those videos above to TST, I realized what my instructor meant with something from his previous instruction that I wasn't doing well.  And that set me to practicing those... I got slightly in the right direction on that but still have a lot to go.

Thank you for your advice and questions!  Greatly appreciated and here is an update. I talked The Boss regarding this and she agrees with the GPS first approach and @billchao and your comments regarding the G6 that pretty much settled it for me to go the Garmin Approach G6 instead of spending the extra money on the G8. Bonus time:  I talked to my fitter today regarding the Cobra F7+ Driver I have on order and he is going to grab a used Cobra F7 4 Hybrid for me to test on the course and see how I like it.  He is going to grab a used one with a shaft that matches what we are doing with all of my clubs as close as he can and if I like the Cobra F7 Hybrid he will do any custom work on the used that needs to be done thus saving me money @klineka I thought you might like hearing that since you reminded me of the used route (:  If anyone else still wants to give advice, questions or general thoughts on this topic please do, I really enjoy it!

Swinging steep and left can do this.
