2 o clock finish keys?

  By: Zach F on Nov. 21, 2024, 4:07 p.m.

Hi Tyler!
I found your keys to a successful finish position (follow through to finish video for those who may be curious) enormously helpful.
I’ve recently started focusing more on integrating 10-2 swings into my practice(only took me a year haha).…

Address tilts and heights vs impact and UD

  By: Zach F on Oct. 19, 2024, 10:48 a.m.

Hi Tyler; two address question here.

Question one:
Pardon the crude drawing, and I’m not sure why it won’t upload in a vertical orientation, but question number one regards the progression of the angle formed between the torso and the inmost femur(…

Holy cats!

I think I’ve had a breakthrough when it come to bracing- you’re REALLY bracing, aren’t you? Like, lead foot is pushing back and up, trail glute is really tucking under… your hatches are totally battened, as if you were ice fishing by han…

Around the 5:20 mark. I’d remembered a little inaccurately; he talks about his arms beating his hips, but I believe it’s the same general idea.
There was another program that talked about Tiger feeli…

The thing that’s getting me here is the sequence…. When does the tug happen, for a closed shoulder scapular-feel guy? Prior to arriving at the follow through position, but post impact, correct? In my imagination there’s a point when the arms straigh…

That’s terrifically helpful, actually.

Thank you. I’m endlessly intrigued by the mind that

A) wrote the unified equation and
B) knew when it was complete

These two stills, the kind of deconstructed finale of the wipe movement, are so unbelievably helpful to me. Thank you!

I think I may have answered my own question:
It’s the oblique crunch followed very soon by the turtle shell abs that actually pulls your body into extension, isn’t it? Paradoxically the butt tucking under in the turtle shell abs pulls your hips unde…

What’s tight in the post impact zone?

  By: Zach F on Sept. 23, 2024, 2:54 p.m.

Hi Tyler!

If I stop myself here, maybe just shy of followthrough, what should I feel to be tight and contracted? Trail side oblique crunch? Turtle shell abs/glutes? Which muscles would you recommend keying on to make sure the hit has occurred with …

The last push

  By: Zach F on Sept. 23, 2024, 8:19 a.m.

-Editor’s note: due to the talismanic properties of simply airing my concerns in this forum, my subconscious has offered up the solution of patience, along with the memory of Tiger Woods saying it took 18 months for him to implement a swing change o…

It does, although most helpful would be what you like best from each of them.

I don’t expect that level of your time though; that’s unreasonable. And I’m just ribbing you about being inscrutable - you wouldn’t quite be doing your job if some of you…

Re: Favorite Pros?

  By: Zach F on Sept. 4, 2024, 3:26 p.m.

That’s appropriately wise while also being appropriately inscrutable.
In terms of a naked transmission of power, what some might term a “vanilla” swing, Xander stands out to me in terms of his downswing sequence and his release as a model of STS phi…

Favorite Pros?

  By: Zach F on Aug. 28, 2024, 6:33 a.m.

Hey Tyler!
Who are some of your favorite pros that exemplify the STS? I’m going to guess Xander makes your list.

Cheers,
Zach

Core sequencing/lead shoulder jammed up

  By: Zach F on Aug. 26, 2024, 6:24 p.m.

Hi Tyler!

I’m becoming more satisfied with my arm and wrist movements for the moment and shifting focus on my core. Any idea why my shoulders are all up around my ears? This is a pretty common look for me. I’m not even sure where in the swing this …
