Training aid just popped up on my instagram and looks like it might be semi useful for some of the things I'm working on. Has anyone made one? It looks pretty simple to pull off with a drill press.

Thanks

I dont see studio fitting mentioned there, the prices listed on the stores website suggest its not a free fitting
-
The new store opened and they don't list a van fitting they have something they call a studio fitting. Does anyone know the difference?

Really interested to hear all about it. I'm trying to decide where to get fitted this spring and they're opening up a store this weekend about an hour from me. Sent from my SM-G960U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

I finally got outside yesterday for a few swings. I had used the planemate a little bit in the spring got away from it over the summer but have hit it hard the last two months. I dont have access to a driving range and it was getting dark here so all I could do was maybe a dozen swings on the first fairway. My iron contact was inconsistent so I cant comment on that but wow was my driving straight with a slight draw. I definitely have to change my point of aim. Distance seemed to be down a little bit but the wind was really blowing so its hard to tell. Sent from my SM-G960U using MyGolfSpy mobile app -

I havent noticed a huge difference in distance since I started using it. I'm still struggling with getting some of the feels right but I cant imagine getting that much longer with an iron. Maybe when I get the feels down with a driver ill see that. -
I have the same problem as you guys sometimes more like 15 degrees from in to out and usually either send the ball straight right or hook it. I had tried standing closer and taller last year and it worked great on the range and into a net yet for some reason as soon as I took that swing to the course I was too close to the ball and well you know it was off the hosel... Too close and too in to out was a recipe for disaster for me. Sent from my SM-G960U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

I did a quick search here didn't see an answer and haven't been able to find it in any of the protocols. What club are you guys using with the long band? I'm using a 5hybrid because its what I have with me. It's not practical for me to bring the whole bag back and forth so I leave it at the course.

Unofficial Review: Skillest App (golf lessons)
Patriots68 replied to dlow206's topic in Member Reviews
How do you guys who use skillest decide which swing videos to send in? I've been thinking about it for a while now but most of my practice is into a net so its hard for me to decide which swings produce good results and which ones produce my common misses, the big misses I can tell but I'm looking for more consistency in my swing, and avoiding the big misses more than anything else. I've been looking into some type of online instruction for a while now and have looked at a couple of guys on skillest. Ideally I'd like to take lessons in person but I've had a hard time finding someone in my area who is consistently available especially year to year. Any one try any of the other instructors? -

Thanks ill work on the cupping first and then try to stay wider near the top to keep from getting stuck. -

Thanks for the drills. I've always struggled with getting stuck inside. I'll have to really concentrate on not letting the band pull me inside. I'm slightly confused on the cupping do you mean I'm cupping the right or left wrist? I've struggled in the past with cupping the left one and after thousands of swings with a skillz smart glove thought I wonder if that bad habit is setting back in. Jeff -

Thanks Guys here are a few quick videos I shot of me. It seems like I'm snapping the band over a lot on the full swings and am launching the ball way to the right on all of the swings. I am someone who often has a hard time getting a certain feel or being able to make my body do what a pro tells me to do in past lessons. https://youtube.com/shorts/hhZ1FrG2i1s https://youtube.com/shorts/Dff81qmLBaU https://youtube.com/shorts/3uwifi_e7wQ Hopefully you guys can see these im very limited with my internet speed and reliability right now.

I've been struggling with this as well since I started using the long band but I feel like my problem might be different. I seem to either roll the band over or I leave the club face well open at impact. Even at slow speed I struggle to relax the club and get the clubface closed at impact without flipping it. Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong?
