T-Rex UD gone too far? ¶

By: Zach F on May 1, 2024, 4:55 p.m.

Hi Tyler! I think I may have taken the T-Rex UD a bit too far here; any recommendations as to where to focus? It looks to me like my right elbow is too flexed and my hands too high at P6. You can see why I was working on it in the DTL still image - that bit just after impact where the toe of the club is up and the trail elbow has straightened and the face has already rotated shut. I’m missing the main culprit somewhere though. As always, I appreciate your help!

Warm regards,
Z

It's looking better, but if you're still searching for the main culprit. I think the rib cage and the pelvis move too much as one unit (look at the quick clip of your dtl swing I added). As a result, they have to stall a bit at the bottom and you'll hit more with the arms. The hit with the arms tends to cause faster clubface change at the bottom. When the hit is more from the body, you'll see a club face more like this Jon Rahm clip. The frame rate on your clip isn't too fast, but from these two pictures you can get a sense of the club face change you're trying to manage.

Happy Golfing,
Tyler

Thank you Tyler!! I’m working on shallow, cut stingers in the backyard, and I think the body disassociation is coming along.

I agree that the disassociation is looking better there. You might still keep an eye on the trail arm connection in the release, but overall it looks less "hookish".

Good luck!

Holy cats I’m stubborn!!

So I finally tucked an item into my trail armpit. Yes sir, you were right.

Thank you.

I like that trail arm connection drill for you. It should help you get some new feels for that right side!
