Ok so I just had my first evolvr analysis done. The main focus was turning the hips and keeping the elbow in. I can get elbow to be about an inch off my right side. My backswing looks like it rather short. Is an inch of space showing between my right side and elbow okay? Striking well when I do this. Thanks

Sorry for all the consecutive posts, I'd edit my latest but it wont allow me. Like I said I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. Right elbow in with full hip turn. Thanks.

Ok been a while. This is me face on after a solid 2 months of hard work with evolvr and overall commitment to improving my swing. Sorry for how dark it is, the way my high speed camera works, it needs a ton of light and obviously I dont have it. If anyone cares I could get a better shot outside tomorrow. Anyways, this is me hitting a mizuno 4 iron pure. Im trying to overall improve my contact, and I've come a long ways. My question to posting this video is, is my head movement ok in the downswing? Is it something I should try and address? I'm not going forward but I do dip a bit on the way down. Jason Day does this as does a few others like Webb Simpson. Should I put in the time to try and fix it? Just want some opinions, and if I would fix it, how'd I go about it? Thanks

Hey thanks for the reply. I definitely understand your point better. I still dont like my tilt away from the ball, I believe its causing my miss of a fat shot. Now bear in mind thats only with a blade 4 iron but still. When I watch someone like Kaymer swing and how level his head stays through impact in the sense it doesnt tilt side to side. Even a guy like Manassero who drops his head a bit because he is jumping, he doesnt tilt his head. If anyone can chime in on the necessary pieces to eliminate that, I'd greatly appreciate it :)

Your right elbow is still going off to your side at A3+++.  Try cleaning that up.

To me - it looks like you have early extension due to the right arm issue which I could clearly see in the DTL video swing in your house posted above.  You basically have to extend - or come off the wall and stand up to hit the ball because your right forearm/elbow is stuck on your side.  Basically, the right elbow placement issue is prohibiting you from regaining flexion correctly.  It is the same issue I'm battling.

When your elbow gets behind your side - you have to tilt more right in the downswing (A5 to A7) in order to hit the ball.  This breaks down the right leg - and your butt comes off the wall (early extension).

Good drills:

1.) Tees under the armpits - keep pressure under armpits and keep the elbow close to your right side.

2.) Head on the wall - ensures you aren't standing up.

3.) Try to feel as though you are keeping your elbows (left and right) as close together as possible on the backswing - this will help clean up the downswing.

[VIDEO]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ_7CcckZBY[/VIDEO] Hey Beach, that video was roughly 4 months ago, swing doesn't look too much like that. I'm currently working on my lag and holding that flying wedge. Contact is even more consistent. I'm not too worried about my head movement at this point, Kyle Stanley does a similar thing with his head. The next piece is Keeping my head on the wall.

I'd like to see you add some pressure into the ground with your left foot.  Feel like you're squashing a bug under your left toe on the downswing.  I think this will help the footwork which will help the head.  More left knee flex, more pressure, will lessen the amount the right knee bends on the downswing, allowing the right foot to bank.  "Bank" meaning the entire foot rolls forward and then the heel releases after impact.  Not having the heel raise so soon and right knee flex towards the ball.

Maybe a few of these drills.  I'm just feeling my hands and left knee go down,down, down in the rehearsal motions.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By klineka ·

      So you want us to help you for free but you're telling us what we can/can't say? Probably not the best way to go about seeking advice, IMO. It'd be one thing if you said something like "I've tried this, this, and this and haven't had much success with those so looking for alternatives". But instead you told us to "don't say basic stuff". You realize that a lot of what PGA Tour players work on on a daily basis is the "basic" stuff, right? They're always working on grip, alignment, posture, etc which are pretty basic things. I think you're doing yourself a disservice by being close minded and not wanting to hear anything that's "basic"

      Water in Bunker

      By billchao ·

      Take that logic and apply it to temporary water in the general area. The general area is not supposed to be under water. You are entitled free relief to play from another part of the general area that’s not under water. You are entitled to free relief to play from another area of the bunker. Bunkers are limited in size, and the fact that you were not able to play out of the same bunker no closer to the hole was unfortunate, but how does that possibly equate to “I should be able to play out of the grass instead with no penalty?” It doesn’t make logical sense. The ACC accommodates this by allowing the drop out of the bunker for one penalty stroke instead of the usual two, to account for the difference in lie.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Becca ·

      Day 1:  I had my first “real” practice today at the driving range.  I hit two buckets of balls utilizing all of my clubs minus the pitching wedge (I haven’t had a lesson on that one yet).

      By yungbuck6 ·

      like I don't like to think I'm an amazing player as I play off around 7-8 handicap or anything but The one miss I have at the minute is with my strike and its getting really frustrating because I don't see what's causing it please don't say basic stuff like I don't weight shift etc because it wont help here are some videos form certain angles (these aren't that fat in the video maybe slightly chunked but its more the fact that the chunk happens 1 in every 4 iron shots so I'm never consistent) https://imgur.com/epaeE4D https://imgur.com/CKeV0Nm https://imgur.com/lJkliwd https://imgur.com/a/1Z7VwK9
