Re: Launch monitors vs short game

  By: Zach F on Aug. 13, 2024, 2:32 p.m.

I certainly didn’t mean to insult your intelligence, and I would imagine you’re up on any new relevant knowledge, but you seem the antithesis of a trend hopper and this to me seems like a trend.
The physics of wedges mystify me. I can’t for the life…

Re: Feeling of swinging club head out at release

  By: Zach F on Aug. 1, 2024, 5:19 a.m.

Her’s another good one to conceptualize the release.

The backswing planes are less important than loading the body correctly, but the main thing is not to suck the clubhead …

Hitch in my rotation

  By: Zach F on July 27, 2024, 7:17 a.m.

Edit: pelvic punch to the rescue(brown shirt)

Hi Tyler! I’ve been working to get my centers more stacked and my trail arm more in front of me(I’ve been finding the Moe Norman visual helpful). I really like how DTL is looking but FO I see a hitch in…

Launch monitors vs short game

  By: Zach F on July 23, 2024, 6:04 a.m.

Hi Tyler!

I don’t know if it’s made your radar, but there’s kind of a low-key war between two short game schools on the internet. One advocates a steep angle of attack and the other advocates a shallow approach, and both boast active successful tou…

Re: Sensei check-in/encouragement for program beginners

  By: Zach F on July 14, 2024, 7:14 a.m.

Gotcha! The ‘trail arm behind’ phenomenon seems to happen throughout the whole downswing, but if I focus on the release aspect, transition seems to take care of itself. I’ll be working on supported wipes.
You used the word ‘nuance’ to describe Jake …

Sensei check-in/encouragement for program beginners

  By: Zach F on July 6, 2024, 8:11 a.m.

Hi Tyler!
It’s been a minute; I just wanted to check in with you and get your approval for my newest ventures.

Following the rule of 3s, I just broke 85 three times in a row for the first time since I started to implement changes from GSA 8 months …

Physical or conceptual reasons for not being able to translate baseball rotation

  By: Zach F on May 28, 2024, 2:31 p.m.

Hi Tyler!

I bought a rope bat for my daughter who’s in softball, and I’ve been using it in an effort to cross train my impact rotation across sports disciplines. Using the rope bat, I’ve managed to achieve impact conditions(disassociation, rotation…

Re: T-Rex UD gone too far?

Holy cats I’m stubborn!!

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

Thank you.

Thank you Tyler! Seems the next addition to the laboratory will be a divot mat.

I really appreciate you man.

Swing path curvature from the golfer’s perspective

  By: Zach F on May 14, 2024, 6:21 a.m.

Hi Tyler!

Are you familiar with a device called the
Putting Arc?
If not, or for those who may not be, it’s a plastic barricade that prescribes the “perfect” inside to inside putting stroke as the heel of the putter head glides along the device.

Th…

Re: T-Rex UD gone too far?

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

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 - …

Power sources and their influences on the forces within the hands

  By: Zach F on April 29, 2024, 9:04 a.m.

Hi Tyler!

I have a question regarding dynamic forces within the grip during transition.

As I’ve been endeavoring to change my power source and observing my hands on the club, I’ve noticed that my previous tendency has been to perform what I’ll cal…

Re: Understanding the Downswing

  By: Zach F on April 15, 2024, 3:26 p.m.

“An iterative process…”

I find that both bleak and comforting.

I used a windfall to purchase a years’ subscription, and I’m finding it immensely helpful to start your online STS program in order from the very beginning. Much like you describe Siec…

Understanding the Downswing

  By: Zach F on April 2, 2024, 8:06 p.m.

Hey Tyler!

Remember in The Little Red Book when Harvey asks Ben and Tom to keep a journal of what they’re working on, and the pupils come to realize they work on the same things in a cycle? I’m back on UD, so that makes one cycle for me. In honor o…
