I'm definitely someone who needs to do more of this. I do notice that when I implement these feels as much as I can, I end up with low flying push-fades. I think this is because I end up hitting the ball with an open clubface, but "later" in my swing than I am used to, such that my arms have started to move in.

Nice article (even if it was 3 years ago). This transition in the profession reminds me of physicians going from performing blood-letting to prescribing penicillin.

Not an expert, and my first piece of advice would be to stick with what the evolvr people are telling you. That said, from what I can tell your hip rotation seems pretty adequate, but maybe you could turn your shoulders at least a little bit more. I think you're just shy of 90 degrees.

I'm sure we'll see this framerate in the iPhone 8 when it comes out, haha.

I worked on sequencing the backswing a bit today. I was trying to feel like I was initiating my swing with my arms and holding off rotating, because I was turning too fast before. I think I did moderately well at achieving this goal. My secondary aims were to keep my right arm straight and keep trying to add right hip extension, with mixed success. Hopefully, I can execute all of these components at the same time with practice over the next few weeks. On my downswing, I'm definitely flippy and my head moves back a bit. Not sure if it is due to something earlier in the swing or a compensation/hold over from my prior swing. I will probably work on this next, after the above pieces are in place. In the third video below, I am experimenting with this a bit. I am feeling myself "hold the angle" a bit longer. In the future, I also want to try feeling my head translate down the line and maybe open up a bit faster at the end of the downswing and see if those things help at all. Experiment:

Still working on hip movement and fore-aft balance: -My hips were moving a bit too much backwards on backswing, so now I'm feeling as if my lower body is moving foward slightly on backswing (not pictured here). -Feeling as if backing out of the swing a bit on the downswing -Getting hips deep on backswing

Working on keeping my hips deep by having pressure on my left heel and stretching my right hip. I let a few other swing components, most notably shortening my swing, slip, but I think I'm slowly getting there.

Haha, yeah NYC isn't always the most hospitable environment for golfing in general, but I'll see what my options are for getting over there. My swing may look decent, but I'm still pretty bad if you look at my consistency or actual scores on the course.

I remember reading an article about this a few years back and found it: Article Book

I have trouble getting a good FO view at my range b/c the stalls are so close together, but hopefully when I go to a different range at some point I can get a good one. My swing is sometimes steep on the d/s but I would say it's more of a symptom of when I fail to keep my hips deep and/or swing short.

*I meant to say avoid over-flexing left knee.

I'm back after a long hiatus. I'm not using the best golfing shoes here (they're actually running shoes, haha), but it was a beautiful day at the range. Here's are my current priorities (roughly in order): -Right hip stretch + avoid over extending left knee on backswing -Add a bit more spinal extension on backswing -Short swing -Rotation slower so as to be in time w/ arm movement Most common misses: hook/over-draw, block, thin/fat shots Overall, I'm trying to get better balance in my swing and make consistent changes.

Keep your eye on the ball... Or should it be on the hole?

Sorry, didn't realize you were intentionally doing that. Regarding arm speed, I don't know the official answer on that. However, what I like to focus on for getting a good downswing sequence is starting my downswing with my hips sliding forward (your upper body does not slide forward; it should stay centered over the ball). In my experience, the other things will often follow naturally if you just focus on your hips as the initiator.

Looks like you are not fully turning your shoulders on your backswing. I can't tell from the video if you're turning your hips enough yet, but keep in mind that at the top of your backswing you want your shoulders to be perpendicular to the target line. Your hips turning and your shoulders turning together will allow you to make a full turn. PS: I really like your dog just chilling in the background, haha. Does he ever chase after the ball?

Nice swing. I would consider looking into two things. One, you might want to shorten up your swing a bit. Looks like you would have plenty of power, even if you shortened it. The other problem I see is that you are a bit flat on your backswing. Check out this youtube video .

Hey, it's hard to get a handle on what you are doing without a proper view point of your swing. It's recommended that you get at least a "down the line" view, preferably with a face on view as well. Also, if you can record at 60fps or greater, that helps, too. Check out this link .

I like your swing, looks really athletic. The main thing I see is that your swing looks a bit on the flat side of things. I would recommend getting your shoulders stepper on the backswing. Check out this video, it explains things well.

Regarding hip rotation, one key here is to let the back leg straighten on the backswing. This will allow the hips to rotate much more easily and give them some more vertical inclination. Side note: during your downswing, your back leg should naturally flex back to its original position. Check out how Charlie Wi is letting his back leg straighten out here, allowing his hips to rotate and preventing him from swaying off the ball.

Check out this thread for some good info on developing an in-out swing by getting your hands "deep" or in on the backswing: http://thesandtrap.com/t/30325/deep-hands-explained For getting your right elbow in specifically, you can try putting something under your arm and holding it there on the backswing to get an exaggerated feel for it.

Hey, I really appreciate all of the videos you guys put out. I'm just a little confused about what I should be feeling/going for with the hips. In order to angle the hips down towards the ball, should you not be feeling anterior tilt/your butt sticking out a bit? However, in your golf posture thread , you mentioned that you want to feel more of a posterior tilt, though it will still be anterior in reality. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding what you're saying. Here is a photo of me from a recent range session (sorry for the poor lighting). I'm guessing I don't have enough hip tilt towards the ball, although my upper back is well-rounded.

According to this site, the new ex-zr300 has twice the max shutter speed of the ex-zr100 (1/2000 vs. 1/1000). Don't know how reliable that site is or if you can always have it at that speed. http://snapsort.com/compare/Casio-Exilim-EX-ZR300-vs-Casio_Exilim_EX-FC150

To me, there is no mental game. It seems more like the causal arrow goes: quality of play >> mental state, not the other way around. To provide an extreme example, if I could play as well as Tiger Woods, I would have the utmost confidence in my ability because I knew I could play below par even on a "bad" day.

If you have a windows PC, I think you can get Windows Movie Maker, which allows you to edit your movies and slow them down to 0.125x speed.

I've successfully made a few important changes to my swing the past few weeks. The first is that my takeaway is a lot better. It's much more on plane and it just feels more fluid. The second big thing is that I've gotten my shoulders/hips tilting more in my backswing. Before, I was way too flat. My biggest miss is that most of my shots are slightly fat, so I'm not making great contact (you might be able to tell by the sound in the videos). I think this is related to having a much too large angle between my club and right arm on the downswing. I think I may just need to have stronger wrist angles. However, I'm not sure if this is the base cause or just part of a chain of events. If any of you see anything related to this that jumps out, let me know. Anyway, the second thing I'm going to be working on is shortening my swing. Right now, it's usually around parallel, sometimes just a bit past. I think this generally makes consistency a bit harder to achieve.
