Hello all, please allow me to use this to vent and would enjoy some advice. I'll keep it condensed for viewing pleasure.

-Started playing 3 years ago, started taking the game seriously this year.

-I have had no formal instruction and have just taught myself through videos and the great information on this website.

-I have gotten down to a 8.9 index and hit a wall.

-Wanted to take up S&T this year, got the book, and realized it's not something I can just go out and try.

-Learned I can flip my way around a golf course but the inconsistency is killing me

-Have seen a dramatic loss in distance after trying to make a hundred different changes in my swing.

-Getting tired of being the shortest hitting in my group.

Now, where do I go from here?

I work at an elementary school and have a gym to my disposal. I plan on getting myself a nice casio camera and tripod for christmas. I was thinking about signing up for Evolvr since I will have the space and equipment to properly film my swing.

Do I sign up for Evolvr or wait until next season and see someone in person? I know Evolvr would be the economical decision, however I feel like I would need hands on instruction.

I guess I am just looking for the reassurance that lessons could be the best thing for my game.

Thanks for your time.

Personally, if I were trying to learn a new swing, I would much rather take lessons and have someone who is an expert on that particular swing film me, analyze me and teach me versus trying to film myself and what not. So my recommendation is to find a teacher who uses S&T and go take some lessons. Who knows, even while sparking up conversation, he might give you some valuable advice. I know mine did.

Well I would send my videos into Evolvr. I guess I won't know how it is until I try it.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
