Your head is moving back but also up because your shoulders are not maintaining the angle all the way to the end if the backswing.. Basically they flatten as you go from a1 to a4 causing your head to pop up.. Fixing key#1 will really be your priority and probably for a while.. I'm still working I. It for 4.5 months now because it is so critical to making good contact.. Trust me that lean isn't the answer to pure contact as that will go away and you'll be back to square one looking for the answer. Practice turning while keeping the same shoulder angle infront of a mirror and then compare to your real swing! Also I still recommend the guys in evolvr when you are ready for the next step in playing really good golf.

I'm sorry about that.. Basically there is an angle made in your set up between your shoulders and your spine angle. In order to play good golf you should maintain that same exact spine angle at the end of your backswing.. That way your head doesn't move up or down from set up to end of backswing. What happens is that when you are turning your shoulders start to flatten out at the top so you don't maintain that inclination and your head moves up and you have a hard time keeping your eyes on the ball and your contact suffers mainly. I have been suffering this issue for a while, but I can't post the picture because I'm on a mobile sorry. If you go to my swing thread you will see what I'm talking about as it is discussed several times.. Do this drill.. Put your arms on your chest and turn your shoulders so that your left shoulder is pointing at the ball.. Make the turn as steep as possible bringing your left knee down and in as well.. See how that goes and I'll see if I can post the drills from you tube for you..

Very good stuff from @Abu3baid above. :-) And thought I'd chime in to add that you really should commit to evolvr. By far the best thing you can do for your game long term if you don't live near any of the 5sk instructors. Also I've found I've been enjoying practicing for the first time since signing up to evolvr because you know what to actually practice

He means start bent, stay bent. Importantly, same amount of bent.

  • 8 months later...

finally signed up for evolvr...but had a small question in regards to my putting stroke.  is/should the putting stroke be lower or closer to the ground? I'm not sure if it's the angle the camera recorded in (I had never recorded myself putting for birdie before but felt confident in the distance and line) but in the practice stroke it seems like my putter is higher off the ground than it should be?  do i need more forward lean of the shaft of the putter keeping it a bit closer to the ground?

before first evolvr lesson

after first evolvr lesson

Stephan had me working on keeping head back and hip forward on downswing, I feel like a major improvement already when I practice in the backyard net but onto the range today...

now I just came back from the range today and of course with swing changes there are some frustrations and pain in the change...I DO NOT have video of myself out on the range today but will try to provide...here is my point question.  I am a notorious for overdoing swing instruction so I felt like today I may have been overshooting hip outward maybe even before my back swing was complete.

90% of my shots where blocks, had some cut blocks and a few shanks even.

I love the practice and first lesson results and will continue working on it in my backyard net but I don't know where the ball is going or it's general direction I do know I'm coming a bit more from the inside which is great, but any advice?

You should have filmed your range session. I'd bet you weren't doing things as much as you thought. I'd also recommend just sticking to what Stephan is asking of you. Asking here will be bad for you. Take a few weeks. Do what's asked. Submit again. Evolvr is not best used with four videos a month and asking for extra help here is even worse. Changing your swing is different. Make the correct motions even if you miss the ball until you no longer miss the ball.

@infoe , from the backyard video you posted, you're not overdoing it.

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
    • I would guess putting grooves in it might make it non-conforming. I am not sure how stringent the USGA is on restoring golf clubs.
