Online / Private Coach Recommendations?

[Chris Brooks]

One of my goals this year is to rely more on expert instruction and accountability. I'm interested in finding an online virtual coach (I roam around the country throughout the year... in El Paso now, western NY most of summer, usually about 2 months in Florida) that can help with mechanics, mental game, practice planning, strategy, and course management. I'm a 9.3 index right now.

Any recommendations from the hive mind?

Well, you can ask others here who have done it and who are doing it currently, but evolvr.com is my site and I’m in the Western NY PGA. Was their Teacher of the Year in 2019.

So I recommend evolvr.com.

As a first step, consider opening a My Swing thread here:

https://thesandtrap.com/forums/forum/13-member-swings/

@iacas owns The SandTrap, is an excellent instructor, and gives very good advice there.  He is also involved with www.evolvr.com .  I've read of others who have had very good experiences with Evolvr, but I haven't used it myself.  And I had this all typed when I saw Erik post his response above.

I second Evolvr. I’ve been using it for a few years. You are a 9.3 index, so you have a decent game already.

Ahh, didn't know about that option. Love your book and have gifted it twice already, so this is a great lead. I'll likely sign up shortly. Are you and team able to get into more than swing mechanics, e.g. improvement strategy based on SV and gaps I might have?

It’s tougher to do because it’s not in person with the back-and-forth. But you can shape it how you want to some extent. It’s still only $49/month so there is a limit, but I get into the stats and stuff with my guys on there.

Just be as direct as you can be and share stats.

I’ll also say this: as a 9.3 your biggest gains are still going to be mechanical, and that’s what does work well on Evolvr.

Signed up. Thanks all.
