So over the past 7-8 years I've looked, studied and tried a lot of different swing styles to improve my game. From Sean Foley to mark Wilson, me and my golf, etc. The only one I can relate to and see immediate improvements was Mike Malaska. Anyone else have an opinion?

Not familiar with any of them other than Me and My Golf so I assume you're referring to free online instruction videos.  Evolvr is only the same in that it's online.  You work with an actual instructor who analyzes swing videos you submit.  It's not free like the others but I highly recommend it since it's personal instruction.  Not that there's anything wrong with other online content, but if you watch some video titled "how to fix your hook" for example, good as it may be, it may not address the reason why YOU are hooking the ball.

Yes sir, free online is the key. I understand the personal coaching aspect and importance. I just checked evolvr and it is reasonably priced. Thanks

Yeah, the price is unbeatable for what you get, in my opinion.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
