Hello,

I need to work on Key #4 and also getting my shaft pointing out passed the golf ball. (Flatten my swing). I come down very steep right now which I have been slowly working on going from A1 to A2 - Shaft at Parallel. (My wrists are cocked and my hands are just passing my thighs.

My problem now is going from A2, A3 and ending at A4 trying to get the shaft nicely pointing out passed the ball and starting my downswing with my hips turning while not having the shaft get to steep again.

We are trying to get rid of my steepness in my swing and flatten it out.

I'm having a hard visualizing your A4. Can you put up a video?

Here is Robert Rock swing. At A5 notice how the butt of his club is facing out towards the golf ball. My problem is i am coming in steep and my butt of the club is facing between my feet and ball.

It is a common problem that many of us have.  My Evolvr instructor has me doing drills from A4 to A5& A6 where I lay down the shaft in an exaggerated way.  I take my swing from A1 - 4 normal speed and stop.  Then I go to A5 and stop.  Then on to A6.  From A6, I back up a small amount then hit the ball.  Here is a video of me doing the drill.  I am doing it too fast, but you get the idea.

You need to do these drills as described in the thread below.  Check with your Evolvr instructor.

Great information regarding this. Evolvr has helped me so much. What's the best way to contact your instructor regarding this? The notes section on the upload, do you shoot him a pm on here or do you email in?

They should have an e-mail you can use or they are in this forum.  Who do you have?

If you are a visual person, yoga blocks outside the ball may help or try setting up an alignment stick with a swim noodle behind and inside your down the line view.  The concept is that the visual stimulus will help you come more from the inside trying not to hit the yoga blocks or the swim noodle.

I do like Boogielicious's suggestions.   Slow and specific.   Look at the thread he suggested.   It is a great read.

I'm sure Stephan has talked about this but the reason things get steep is because of how your wrists tend to "collapse" as you over-extend your torso towards the end of the backswing. So first thing to focus on would be to shorten the backswing.

Be patient.  Even something that sounds as simple as shortening the backswing can take time to become permanent.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.
