Just video is fine (ambient regular sound is nice) - but no, we don't need narration or anything. That'd probably get in the way of things.

I played with this guy this morning.  Turns out he was a real hack!  I can't stop laughing at the shank clip.

LOL, I almost fell over on that shank...still laughing.  What can I say it was the first take.

edit: they were actually all one take except for the last one.  It took me three tries to get the one I wanted on that one.

Oh I had plenty of practice for over three years, that is until I started taking evolvr lessons.  I at one point considered putting grooves on the shank to see if I could get a little more distance. That is some talent to shank it so badly on the first try though huh?  All seriousness aside the key with the shanks is to enjoy them...sorry inside joke.

It was actually a lot of fun to film these "bad" shots out on the course.

Shanks are easy to hit. Just look at and try to hit a spot that's just outside the golf ball.

    • Is the guy a PGA professional or a USGTF professional, or just a guy that tinkers in a shop and has a pretty good golf game? Not knocking you in any way, just curios. Did he take a look at your clubs and take any measurements to see if your clubs length/ lie were OK for you? If you are hitting on a full size range then the launch monitor isn't 100% necessary, ball flight will tell you a lot along with some foot powder on the club face. If all he has is a net then yes a launch monitor is needed.  50 bucks an hour seems like a good deal. I pay 50 for a 1/2 hour. 30 mins is about all my mind will absorb and I leave with one solid thing to practice and a few drills to last to next time. Keep us posted on your journey. 
    • I had a issue with the watch picking up the sensors on a consistent basis. I did what the instructions said, but since I have a GPS watch and an H4 I sent it back rather than to try to work out the issue. 
    • The Golfing Machine calls a shorter full swing motion “pitching” IIRC but I don’t think that’s what was going on here. Did you get video or anything? Launch monitor data?
    • ^ right here. A short game pitching motion is not the same as a full swing in feel nor intent. It’s just not a mini-swing at all. Now if the instructor said to make slow full swings with a 6i and try to hit them only 100 yards, that would be more in line with what I view full swing instruction to be.
    • How does he fit for clubs with that setup?  I get this to an extent, but plenty of players have slightly different patterns with different clubs throughout their bag, but using that logic why not start with 3 foot putts or 5yd chip shots? I have quite different feels for a 20-40yd pitch shot than I do for a 140yd shot. Loft presentation at setup and impact, ground contact, weight transfer (or lackthereof), etc are all different on a 20-40yd shot vs a full iron shot.  If you enjoyed the lesson and found value in it that's great, personally I'd be a bit annoyed if I went in and wanted to work on full swing stuff and this guy has me doing 20-40yd pitch shots for an hour with my lob wedge.
