I've been Playing Golf for: Played in high school, started again three months ago after several year break My current handicap index or average score is: 85-95 My typical ball flight is: fairly straight, slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Fat/thin, pull hook [rule] Videos: [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/ssqIv2Ehac0[/VIDEO] [VIDEO] http://youtu.be/J-lgJ1aAOcs [/VIDEO] Very excited to work toward a better more consistent swing with supervision ad instruction rather than just pounding bucket after bucket at the range. Signed up with Evolvr and recieved my first analysis yesterday. Very pleased with turnaround time and feedback. Working on address to begin, grip, ball slightly more forward, flare feet, slight forward shaft lean. Left hand grip was super weak, working toward a stronger grip. Although new and uncomfortable, I saw immediate positive results with a stronger grip. Immediate improvement top to bottom. Thanks all for looking.

Forgot to add sorry about low light. Working on improving camera angle, and inherited a casio ex-fh25 so in the process of figuring out optimal settings to film the swing. Filming from my galaxy s5 at the moment.

Got to talking with an older gentleman on the range last night that I often see coaching his granddaughter. He very bluntly offered me this, your swing is too long and your shoulder turn is too flat. I like blunt :). And I would have to agree those are two areas that could use attention. Plan on posting some updates tomm as I have lots of free time to practice this weekend and next week. Doesn't happen often so want to take advantage.

Sounds like you're on the right track with Evovlr and getting a Casio. Work hard, listen to your instructor and keep improving.

Thabks for the words mvmac. Long road ahead indeed but I love golf, love practicing,playing, the serenity out on the course, list goes on. Good escape for me from the every day grind. Along with working on my address to the ball, I think I could do myself some good working toward keeping my lead arm locked, Notice in all my vids I flex the left elbow at the top of the swing. Get rid of that probably have more power and consistency

    • 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.
