Would the video quality of these swings be good enough for evolvr? Not the position but the fps and video quality?


Yes, of course. We've had much, much worse. :)

Will @iacas weight forward impact drill help with forward shaft lean and handle in front of the ball at impact?


Yeah, if you do it properly. :)

Hi Rob, your Evolvr video should be uploaded soon. Good drill/image for you

Thanks. I got the analysis and I will work on those things, should I upload videos weekly? Also sorry for being so far away from the camera I only had a couple minutes to get the video, so I only had 1 take for both and figured being farther back was better than being to close :)

I wouldn't recommend uploading every week, it's just too often and you can't change things enough in just one week. It's not the best use the instructor's or your time. The option to upload every week is there in case you're really confused or the instructor wants to make a small adjustment and suggests you upload within a week to see how it changes things. Most of the time you should upload when you feel like you've made the picture change. Since this is your first one I think you should upload within a couple weeks to check in.

@mvmac I've been practicing the steady head every night using the drill you suggested, and the weight forward also, can you give me a feeling or tip on how to keep my head from dipping down on the downswing as I shift my weight forward? It's weird in my backswing to keep my head from dipping I really feel like I'm pushing it up, and almost standing up more, but when I look at it on video it's staying close to the same height and not dipping when I do this.

It's fine for the head to go down a little on the downswing, just a reaction to the way you "load" into the ground.

Updated video after working on keys #1 & 2, got a new drill from Brian from evolvr, I'll be working on now. Basically focusing on turning my hips and shoulders faster as I get my weight forward. [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/xAkbS3526Ps[/VIDEO]

It's been a while since I posted on my thread but I have been hard at work with Brian @ evolvr. Here is some stills of my progress, Brian had me working on getting more rotation with my hips and shoulders through impact. Here is a pic of the before on the left and the after on the right. Now he has me working on getting my legs straighter at impact and beyond, you can see from this picture that my legs are pretty bent and are not extending like they should.

Good stuff. I've seen a few of your videos. Keep it up.

Thanks. My hope is to get my swing in good enough shape to break into the 80's this summer I probably could now I just need to chip and pitch better, I don't get up and down much

Been a while since I posted some progress here is my latest swing videos. I am current working on relaxing my arms some at setup, bending my knees a little more, and not being so laid off at the top of my backswing. [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/ATvi1A8whXI[/VIDEO] [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/Zjel8-TT_EU[/VIDEO]

Latest swing videos, I've been working on getting in a better position at the top of the backswing, and not laying the club off so much. [VIDEO]https://youtu.be/RNSDk3fEor4[/VIDEO] [VIDEO]https://youtu.be/GbAfuKQdukI[/VIDEO]

Its been a while since I've posted on this thread. My goal this year is to increase my distance and accuracy with my driver. I would like to hit 66% or higher of fairways and get my average up to 230 yards. This week I worked on my driver and fixing my slice, by doing driver chips. I saw some improvement in distance and accuracy.

The year so far.

Today, my average would have been a lot higher but I had 2 mishits.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
