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.

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
