I finally was able to get a swing up. Probably not the best video as it was taken with an IPhone by my 9 year old daughter, but I wanted to put myself out there. This is an 8I in my backyard...hitting at my neighbors house. I have seemed to have lost some distance but gained some accuracy trying to copy the 5SK. When I really concentrate on weight forward, I hit fat shots almost all the time...and I hate it

I've been Playing Golf for: 17 yrs

My current handicap index or average score is: 10.8...up a few points since trying to change to a proper swing

My typical ball flight is: fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Fat/pull hook/weak slice

I guess my question is...would this be an appropriate video to put on evolvr, or do I need better quality/slowmo etc?

thanks

It would be fine. If you have an iPhone or some Android phones that can do 120 or even 240 FPS, that's even better.

Mind the camera angle down the line. Should be a bit more to the left, on the toe line.

Great...Thanks.  Any glaring issues you see that I could work on to be better in the 5SKs?

Sure. This is going to have to go more "up" in the near future. Let the right elbow come off your body a bit.

Will help with path and contact. Right now the path is likely so shallow it's tough to hit the ball crisply. Fix that first.

Thanks. I will start there first

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
