Braking Mechanisms

  By: Zach F on March 30, 2024, 7:09 p.m.

Hi Tyler!

I recently stumbled across a nest of Stack and Tilters on Instagram, and I found most of the stuff to be very stylistically interesting but maybe not very applicable to the Stock Tour Swing. One thing that did stick with me though is the …

I dunno how many times a guy can go all the way back to the drawing board in this game, but I seem determined to find them all.

This looks better.

Ok. Looking at it through new eyes I believe I understand shallowing on a deeper level. You can still do it with the arms looping over, like Ernie or Snead. You can’t find that many examples of tour pros doing it the other way because there just ar…

I see…. I was trying to be reductionist but in the process I oversimplified things. I confess I still don’t comprehend the body movements in the release in a way that I can visualize them individually in detail.

Editors note- none of this truly app…

Wow, man.

I confess I thought I might get you there, like a kid waiting to scare his parent at the front door while his parent, easily detecting the clumsy ambush, comes in the back door and surprises him instead.

You REALLY get it, in a way I’m …

Body driven steep shaft?

  By: Zach F on March 21, 2024, 8:24 a.m.

Hi Tyler!

Looking at a number of tour pros’ transitions through the lens of “steep vs shallow,” some are pretty obviously more to one direction or the other, like Niemann is body steep/arm shallow, pulling with the core, and DeChambeau pulls down w…

I finally got to play again and it was still real hooky, so I decided to change my grip, as it occured me that trying to correct a pervasive hook without altering a strong grip is probably something like trying to lose weight while living in a Pizz…

Ohhhhhhhhhhh.
You were right, it will take more flexibility in my right neck, and it’s fairly pretzel feeling compared to what I’ve been doing.

Could we have a Lucas Glover analysis?
To me he looks like steep body plus over the top arms equals push draw- it’s magical.

Summary; I feel like you’re close. I’ve hit a couple of sliding stingers- hooray! Body motion is coming along, but that wu wei with the arms in transition is tough- I’m finding surrendering control with the arms at the top terrifying

Also also.. qu…

Also, would you mind grading my sliding stinger? It’s the first one I’ve been able to pull off, and I’m decently proud of it, even if it deserves to be roasted.

Thank you Tyler!!

Hi Tyler!

Is this a proper bracing maneuver? I feel like it solves my post impact scapular weirdness.
So far it’s only available in wrist re-hinge mode.

Edit:
I’ve added gray-shirt later, and it seems to fit the rule of three. Does the practice ra…

Had time to hit one on the beach today; I feel like this is getting somewhere. There’s still something wonky in the upper body, but it’s less wonky, and my lower body feels more active and purposeful and directed and intentional.

Oh man, couldn’t recommend it highly enough! Gorgeous scenery all the way around and the bayou is in play on a number of holes. The only drawback is the bayou is in play on a number of holes. 😂

I’ve played almost all the courses on the coast with t…

Kindly forget my other posts this round, sir.

Instead of focusing on what I don’t have, on a surprise day off I just got to hit a bucket with what I do have now:

I have distance wedges, and I haven’t had to start a thread on them because your inst…
