I believe it's actually more of an effect due to what's going on with the rest of your swing, so no, the answer isn't to stop rolling your forearms over. I don't want to get into too much more than that because I don't know what your priority is and what your working on, and quite frankly I'm not confident in my ability to help. If it's a serious issue, you should ask your evolvr instructor.

I didn't know it was an issue at all until you pointed it out ☺. I was just wondering what is causing pulls. If that is it I will definitely need to figure out how to change it.

Shit, sorry. One piece at a time, Jake. Don't jump ahead to fixing the pulls before you have your current piece down, or you might end up screwing up your contact. Trust your instructor.

I'm sorry I mentioned anything in the first place.

No worries at all bud. I definitely trust him. Look at the 1st few swings on this thread. We are definitely going in the right direction. I'm currently sending in a drill so I just recorded a swing and put it on here. I was just trying to get get rid of as many bad misses as possible.

Ive been working for about a year trying to hit pushes.  Well at some point in the last week or so I figured this out. The problem is all my pushes seem to fade or go straight.  Not having ever hit a push before I can't seem to setup to hit this shot on the course.  What happens then is I revert back to my over the top move to hit target.  Has anyone had this problem and how do I get these pushes to draw?   Any help would be great.

To be honest, the swing's looking good - I imagine it'll be some subconscious compensation that your body is making and I'd wait for the changes to ingrain before trying to tweak anything else. Again, just add it in the notes in your next evolvr upload and I'm sure you'll get good feedback. As I say though, it's looking nice - keep up the hard work!

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

Such a transformation. Nice looking swing!

Thanks a lot I owe it to Erik, Mike, and my evolvr instructor. They did all the work I just do my best to follow instructions.

I forgot about Cipher. He's helped me a lot and has had to deal with a lot of annoying questions ;-) .  I bet he regrets giving me his digits.

Play 18 yesterday with some coworkers. It was one of my best rounds to date. I only hit one really bad shot. My short game was really good which helped me score. I'm happy I know I left some shots out there and still put together a good round. I'm still hitting pulls but I'm heading in the right direction.

I played my best round of golf on Sunday. I shot a +1 36. What is funny is how many of my shots I owe to the sand trap. #1 I hit a good drive followed by a pitch (learned here). #2 2nd shot was another pitch. #3 2nd shot was a flighted wedge. #4 pitch. #5 I hit a chip with a putting swing. #6 another awesome flighted wedge. #7 ACE(that one was all me

Went to the range today working on my full swing.  Im hitting the ball solid but I can't seem to get my pushes to draw back.  Im working not letting my back foot spin out after my swing.  Im trying to bank it more than spin out.  Also trying to get my knees closer together faster during my downswing.

Heres a few 4i (which I never would even attempt to hit last year)

@Jakester23 , take this advice only if you're not already actively working with something that someone you trust has given you.

Get your arms down faster.

They come down slow and the body stalls so you actually end up swinging ever so slightly across the ball with the way the forearms roll a little tiny bit.

By now (above right) the arms should almost be down to impact.

This might sound dumb but what should I do (feel) to get my arms down faster?  I sent a 8i video to evolvr that was the same.  That the only instruction Im receiving.

    • Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
