I've been taking lessons for years at Golftec with some improvement but have hit wall and feel like I was actually declining. Someone suggested 5SK drills and I took a look at a link showing various drills across the 5 keys. I noticed my Golftec instructor was actually telling me to do the opposite of some of the 5 keys (such as keep your weight on your rights side - I'm a right-handed player), so was basically telling me to keep weight back when 2nd key is 85-90% weight forward. 

Just incorporating some of the 5SK drills, I've noticed my swing is improving again. I'm trying to locate a local instructor around me to use. I'm in Hoboken, NJ right outside of NYC. Any suggestions or should I just focus on continuing with the 5SK drills and learn on my own? I currently shoot in the mid 90s and looking to get down to low 80s. Thanks -

You could also try evolvr, which is online lessons, and I'd imagine all the instructors are 5SK certified (or whatever it's called). Evolvr is probably the best golf instruction deal out there. You could also start a member swing thread here if you want.

He just moved indoors to his own academy, actually.

Thanks for the update - I'll reach out to his email. It was mentioned he was at Forsgate Country Club but that's about an hour drive from me. It also looks like Jason Blonder (5SK certified) is a bit closer in Clark, NJ.
