Hey all, just signed up for evolvr and just submitted my first swing.  Kinda wish I would have waited till the beginning of the month (just easier for me to remember) but do the 4 videos a month run on calendar basis? I don't presume they do but thought i would ask.

second question is for those that have been with the program a while and seen some serious results...has sending 4 videos a month been an issue for you? or is it after a while not really necessary to send in four videos a month?

as a side note what really calls my attention to evolvr as supposed to the 4 lesson packages that I have done in the past is I don't mind sending in a video lesson (like Ive just done) and then using a second video lesson to see if what I have been taught or practiced through the provided or recommended drills if I am implementing it correctly.

I know in theory and with the 4 package lesson instructors I have worked with before they told me they dont mind me sending in a video to their email to see if what I am working on from their instruction if I am translating correctly but it does not seem like I am being fair to them in doing so, and have not kept up with that practice.

Thanks all and looking forward to the improvement!

I have never sent 4 videos in a month. Unless you have basically an unlimited amount of time to work on the drills they give you you won't need more then 4 videos. I usually send in 1 or 2 a month. I've been basically working on the same thing for months.

1-2 submissions per month is usually best. Sometimes a golfer will submit a "quickie" of "am I doing this drill right?" for a third. If you're submitting four, you're not working on much between submissions.

how does the month work though is it calendar? or monthly from when you sign up?

also along those lines id be thinking it would be about 2 lessons a month with 2 video follow ups to make sure im doing it correct? I understand it may not be like that every month but if its a service that is being provided I would think this is the best way to optomize my investment and try to imrpvoe

Don't worry about the number of videos you submit. Your not going to get more out of your investment by submitting more videos. Your going to get the most out of evolvr if you practice what you receive in your analysis until you think you get it down (which isn't going to happen in a week). Then send in a video of what you think is an improvement. Then they will either tell you a new piece to work on or modify what your currently working on. I've been working on the same part of my swing for 3 months. My drills have changed but I'm still working on my downswing into impact. I sent one video in January and that was enough.

Monthly from when you sign up I believe.

I upload about once a month, I dint really worry about uploading at least once a month. I upload when I feel I've made enough progress, I try to practice the drill about 3 hours a week. Usually I don't use a ball and practice at night while watching tv, in front of a mirror. I think the most I've uploaded in a month is twice, when I first started and when I wanted to get some clarification on what I should be feeling or doing.

Thanks all for the feedback. I have a different mindset of how i want to work the program since im on the course weekly and on the range once a week as well as practicing from my home. If it doesnt work out for either party I guess we can always communicate that. Thanks again and am looking forward to serious and progressive results

Have a good time your going to be getting very good instruction through evolvr. What your describing is no different from what I do weekly and like I said before I doubt you will improve enough in one week to submit a new video every week.

If you are regularly submitting four videos per month, you're not really using the service properly. It's basically that simple.

Been thinking about starting evolvr this season. Can you upload a putting stroke, bunker shot, etc? Or full swing only?

Are you more interested in submitting the maximum number of videos or improving at the fastest rate? If it's the latter, then listen to the advice given. If you're at the range once a week then a video every three or four weeks is more than enough. Good luck.

It also depends on your level as well.. As the issues that need fixing become smaller the time to change is longer.. I have been working on the same main issue for ever now.. Last month I only submitted 2 vids and this month I will most likely submit one or two. When I first started I was doing 3 or 4 but that's because I was fixing grip and posture things that were relatively easy to fix, not so much now. You can try it for a few months and of you like it continue, if not you still have the rest of the year to find something else.

Makes sense. Thanks

Trust me that even if you only send in 2 a month your getting way more than your money's worth. You can also post stuff on here in you swing thread in between videos. It takes a few days to get your response from evolvr. So if you just want a quick check up you can ask here.

I believe the answer to this is yes on the other types of shots.  But I imagine they would like to have you work on one thing at a time.

    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
