The evolvr lessons are going great. James has been helping me. Getting just a few specific things to work on from someone who really knows what they're talking about is huge. When I first started getting serious about my game earlier this year, I saw plenty of things wrong with my swing, but had no way of making a plan of attack to correct the problems.

Initially tried going to a reputable pga pro that charged $40 per 45 minute lesson. He gave me a few helpful tips, but a lot of swing advice conflicted with info I've read on here and other forums. Ended up canceling after only one lesson, and jumped on evolvr. So happy I did. My golf budget is also really low at the moment, so the low cost is great as well.

Got a new camera with 240p video so I thought I'd upload some new videos. This thing is sooo much better for analyzing my swing than my droid :D

Still on evolvr, which is going well. Working on my transition and weight transfer. I have a tendency to stop my hip slide too early and over rotate which has been causing lots of pulls. Doing the 9-3 drill a lot at the range and focusing on getting my right foot to roll instead of lifting my heel. It's slowly getting better. Thanks for looking, any help always welcome!

Swing update!

Still working with James on evolvr, which has been awesome. Lately he has me focusing on sequencing, specifically holding my hips off until I get to P6 and then firing with everything. This has really helped. Right heel isn't lifting up nearly as much, hitting less pulls.

Hoping this unusually warm winter weather keeps up! Thanks for looking.

meta87, the swing looks like it is getting solid.  The right foot looks very good - I can see you have put some work in to get that piece.  Nice job!

One thing that popped out on the 12-9-12 DTL video was that your left arm looks like it is quite under plane.  Has anyone over at Evolvr talked about getting more extension in your backswing?

a.) Right leg straightening - pushes the right hip deeper and higher than the left

b.) Shoulders will then turn more vertical - left shoulder will be lower

This will help get the left arm on plane with your shoulders.  It looks like you are underplane and the clubface is closed at A4.

Hey Beachcomber, thanks for the reply. You are right on the mark. Extension and feeling like I'm expanding my chest during my backswing was what James covered 2 videos ago. I can see what you mean about being under plane at A4. Will focus on improving that issue. Can't wait till I really get the backswing locked down.

Thanks again bro! Hope your swing changes are going well.

      I think that would fall under the general umbrella of "kinematics".  And I'm sure that @iacas will correct me if I'm wrong, but in many cases the handle will be almost motionless by the time the clubhead impacts the ball.

      I don't think it is called anything singularly specific in scientific terms other than how you described it. Some might call it a pendulum motion or something but that's probably super simplistic and not adequate description/definition. Of course, there's a whole gamut/combo of causal physics, biomechanics and geometry that results in the phenomenon.

      As Erik says, he can correct the Wrong Place mistake by replacing the ball in its original location, see 14.5a, as long as he does it before making a Stroke at the ball.    I agree, and that's one of the worst aspects of being a rules official.  But its also an important part, I'm sure that player learned that one rule pretty clearly, and hopefully has learned to read the NTP and listen on the first tee.

      So while we're talking about physics I've got a question regarding physics and golf provides some excellent examples for what Im talking about. When you swing a stick in an arc the end of the stick will be moving faster than where you're holding it because it has to cover more distance in the same amount of time. An excellent example would be swinging a golf club.  When you swing a golf club, say when you're teeing off with the driver, the head of the club is going to be going faster than the handle because it has to cover more distance in the same amount of time and the longer the club the faster the head will be going because with a longer club the head will have to cover an even greater distance in the same amount of time. That's why drivers are so long, they're meant for hitting the balls the furthest so you want the head to be going as fast as possible when it hits the ball.  So I was wondering, what's it called in physics, about how when you swing a stick such as a golf club, how the head is moving faster than the handle because it has to cover more distance in the same amount of time.

      He replaces his ball and gets the stroke for lifting his ball without having a rule allowing such.
