Not the best video, but it's decent enough to get you started. Hopefully this one will be redone after the changes are made to S&T...;

There are no changes. Stop saying that. This video is still really good and explains things really well. The only "change" that WE have made at Golf Evolution is to move the ball position a few inches farther forwards so that you hit it just after low point. That's all.

I'm not talking about the contents of the video, I'm referring to the angles of the camera view. I'd like to see the video from some down the line angles as well... It would be nice to see the actually hands coming to the inside, it would give golfers an idea of exactly how much the lead shoulder comes down and actually getting to see the plane in relation to the shoulder turn... No need to get so worked up. :-)

Nobody's worked up.

A down-the-line view would not have fit into that video. All of the things explained are seen from the caddie view. The rest is fairly "stock" information. Look to other videos for that information. This one does what it set out to do.

I like the youtube video series from Shawn Clement. You can search for "Clemshaw Golf" to find them. And there's a good variety of different videos to help.

Here's one on weight shift

This is my fave tip. Think it's extreemly useful

G15 9* stiff
MP-60 s400
CG15 52* 56* 60*
COLT Eyeline Lefthanded
Z-star or Pro V1

Great one from Ernie.  I have never seen that one before, or even thought about the box.  Good stuff thanks for posting that

I worked on this yesterday at the range, and noted that it gave me a noticeable increase in distance.  Creating the box ensures that you are making a full turn with your upper body, and that uncoiling really gave me some extra yards.  Gonna work on it some more again today when I go play.

Keeping the box as ernie said, was more about creating lag in the golf swing...the more lag you have, the more powerful your swing.  This is why you had an increase in distance

    • Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.
    • I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.  
    • Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity. 
    • In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.     
    • Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
