quick question for the Evolvr teachers.  I as a big proponent of lessons and TST was thinking about giving Evolvr a chance.

Do the students dictate what they want to improve (help me hit the ball straighter, farther, lower, higher, etc) or does a student submit a video with 1-2 different clubs and the instructor pick the most important piece to work on and provide drills to improve on that thing?

Thank you

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Honestly it's a bit of both. We recommend two swings (DL, FO views) with a 6-iron to start. Tell us what your problem shots are (the shots you hate, what you're trying to get rid of), what your good shots do, etc. That's basically how you tell us "what you want to improve."

We have had instances in the past where someone who clearly doesn't even hit the ball solidly says things like "I want to draw the golf ball" and we have to first get them hitting the ball solidly, but that still goes to "drawing the golf ball" eventually. We just can't promise it in all cases immediately .

I have a general question.  I was thinking about signing up for evolvr because I agree with the 5 simple keys and like the "measurability" of whether you've actually incorporated each key into your swing but I want a more traditional looking swing rather than SnT.  Is that something you guys can accomodate?

Golf is hard.

5SK is not S&T.; 5SK is EVERY good swing. We have students who have their arms rather high, many who hit fades, some who translate a little, etc.

Good stuff from @buckshot4227

Adding "lag" by improving his sequencing (Key 1 and 2). Didn't get this pic by "holding" the wrist angles ;-)

For someone that has an overactive right arm, would you have them feel like they are just only releasing #4?

Tough to answer without seeing the swing, the "over active" right arm is probably just be a result of something else.

Want to give a shout out to Brian, sent in 3 videos this month and am very happy with the instruction. Syncing arms/hips a tad better - only a week between the swings, so not going to see a huge amount of change so difference is very subtle, but on the right track. If I'm reading these photos right, the hips are a tad less rotated on the bottom.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
