Looking to see where I am at far as swing path, dynamic loft , etc. And what I need to correct before I get too set in my swing. Does anybody know of pros that give lessons with a launch monitor in the Savannah Ga area?

Warm welcome to TST.

At a 30+ HC you might have some issues that can be worked out with a normal instructor or even through posting videos in a MySwing thread on this site?

Please have a look at this link . Just click on the word "link".

Thank you for your response and I do plan on continuing regular lesson. I have had two regular coaches and recent quick session with a new one. I have gone from 140 ish to right at the edge of breaking a hundred should have a lot lately but with two or three holes a round that I just lose it and put up double digit scores. I am a numbers and instructions guy, even when I do artistic stuff. I sometimes think my approach to lessons is off. I go to a lesson say " i am a hack, then spend the rest of the hour hitting balls with one instructor saying keep your head down and another saying the same thing but wording it as seeing the ball in the back swing. No instruction on grip, only a little instruction on posture, etc. Research from this forum and regular obsessive searches led me to recently fixing my slice by changing from interlocking to a vardon grip. Last time I played I didn't keep score but I did hit more gir's then ever but I was early morning after a really cold night, so super fast sloped greens and unfortunately on more then one occasion putting for birdie turned into double bogey. I would like to know if a flatter slower completed backswing (new again from personal research) is going longer and straighter because I am true to path or because I'm now just swinging way off path in the other direction but am going straighter because of gear effect. I think that it would be easier for me to make solid contact knowing that I needed 6 degrees more in to out then " loosen up more with a waggle and give me your best swing"

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
