My Swing (skwon11)

[skwon11]

I've been Playing Golf for: 20 years or more

My average score is: About 86

My typical ball flight is: Draw or a weak fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Hook

---

I'm waiting for my evolvr lesson to get back to me.  It's a short pitch using my pivot and having my left wrist naturally stay flat on inline.  I know the pivot is still stalling... I just don't know how to fix it.  Thoughts?

I would defer to your Evolvr instructor.  They will identify your priority piece to work on.  They have been very helpful for me.  I did not really see anything obvious with the shorter swing drill.

I agree with @boogielicious .  Just take is one step at a time with evolvr.  I looks like you have a good sense for the drill and just keep working hard on it until they give you something new.  This is a great place to post the way that you are doing your evolvr drills as well.

Still working on the pivot (not the standing/jumping part).  I don't feel like I'm making progress.  My left wrist is actually kind of flat now which is good.  I'm still hitting it a little fat... frustrating.  Thoughts?

You're on evolvr, so obviously you should take their advice over mine, but what I see is that your head moves towards the target on the downswing. You're moving your upper center forward, which causes you to have to throw the clubhead at the ball to make contact (because you've effectively moved it backwards in your stance).

Thank you anybody who sees this...

I've hit the wall a little bit.

My Evolver lessons have pointed out that I tend to start my swing with a close the face wrist roll... we've worked on everything else and overall, my swing feels better but this seems to be the crux of my issues.  I'm being encouraged to try and get my wrists to more "upright" vs the the wrist-roll-close move you'll see in the DTL video.  In doing so... the thought is I'll come down less shallow and at a steeper angle which will help my fats a little bit more (I know I still have a lot of wrist throwaway on the downswing).

Thoughts?  I've been doing this close the face wrist roll my whole life... so getting rid of it is going to be painful.  When I do this now... I tend to shank it a lot.

I would work on set up to A4 stopping at A2, A3 and work on not rolling the wrist closed.  If you do it in front of a mirror you can check the face position at each step.  Do it slowly and get the feel down. It will take weeks to correct, but this is the best way.

Yep. I'd add more if there was more to be added, but it'll just take some effort.

It actually looks like I get forward shaft lean... remarkable!  My ball flight fades more than it draws now which is new.  The strikes are much more solid and not as fat!  I'm looking for swing thoughts to keep turning the hips during the down swing vs. stalling when they are square.  Any other thoughts would be great!

I'm working on a similar priority piece. My Evolvr instructor is having me make slow downswings to impact focusing on rotating the hips more than sliding. My swing thought is to have my hips rotate with my right elbow moving out and around my body. I use mirror work to get the feeling, then film my range work.

Your swing is coming along nicely!
