Hi guys, even though Mike and James have been helping me out with my swing through Evolvr a TON, I still can't figure out how to keep a steady head, and thought I'd post my latest swings.  Any tips on keeping the head still?  Also, as per Mike and James' advice, I'm trying (without much success) to get my arms detached from my body.  Everyone's feedback is much appreciated!

Thanks,

I think you have a ton of really good pieces. Your lower body is great in the backswing.You have the same head up move that I do in the very last phase of the backswing. My view is that your left shoulder could go more down to avoid moving your eye line. I think mvmac's video on sequencing to help with your right elbow movement. I think it gets way behind you and from there you are fighting to try to get it synched up.

The back swing is a little flat which is what's causing the arm's issue. Take the club to the top of your back swing and stop. Then just lift your arms up a little so the left arm is more across your shoulders to see what that feels like. It could be a flexibility issue to why your swing is so flat. The good thing is that your are on plane during the downswing. What is your missed shots.

Thanks, the shoulder down is one move that I keep trying to work on.  And I do like that video, which if just simulating the same motions that Mike does in it, means that I am moving my arms around wayyyy too much!

Thanks, I'll give that a shot.  My misses are a mix of hooks with short clubs, and slices with the longer clubs (woods/hybrids/long irons), but I've also been hitting off the heel and shanking shots.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
