I don't know if height would strongly correlate to ulnar deviation. Here are two examples of tall golfes who tend to get nearly full ulnar deviation (high hands). It's usually something related to the feeling of the arms being higher or the swing fe…

Push ball is looking pretty good. Are you able to match the positions with a 9 to 3? If not, that's the next step. Keep it up!

Hi Matt,

Haha, it's hard to do a true 9 to 3 for many golf swing styles.

Watching your 9 to 3 swings, it looks like the impact position is similar to the full swing. So I'd start with release training and getting more comfortable with a better im…

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for sharing your story! Golf is more fun when there is less doubt and uncertainty. It's still hard to make a good swing everytime, but it's more fun knowing what you did wrong and having a plan to fix it!

Good luck with the of…

Hi Matt,

I'm careful when I say that anything in the backswing causes something in the downswing. To me, the downswing is influenced by the backswing, but not a direct cause. The way I tease it out is by doing shorter swings. Can you post a 9 to 3 …

Zach,

Thanks for the video link. Yes, I know he worked a lot on getting his arms more in front to fix his “getting stuck” issue. I haven’t seen the tahata golf clip, but that feel wouldn’t surprise me. Although, at other times he said he would sna…

The look of the shaft appears to come from the negative couple of the hands. The "bracing" causes the hands to slow down the forward momentum of the handle in order to help speed up the club head. Usually the body is slowing down too, but the torso …

Hi Bergin,

Sorry for the delay, I gave a speech to a group of instructors at the TPI Summit this past weekend and I was busy prepping for my presentation.

I’m glad you added the second clip of videos (DTL) as well as the broader description. I w…

Thanks for posting the face on and DTL views of the swing. They provide more help.

I like the idea of chasing improved contact, we just want to make sure that the component we’re training will have an influence on our miss pattern. With contact, I…

With the tai chi move, I’d try to keep the shoulder blades closed a little longer, that’s why when you …

Zach,

Question 1: That angle between the femur and pelvis changes depending on the movements of the backswing. I haven’t seen it as a specific measured angle on a 3D system. It would be influenced by a few movements (flexion/extension, abduction/a…

Sorry for the delay, I gave a speech to a group of instructors at the TPI Summit this past weekend and I was busy prepping for my presentation.

But yes, I see the same thing, I think the arm behind is happening early. I’d be curious to see the DTL…

It’s easy to get all over the place in this game. I think that’s why it’s important to have a road map …

Zach,
Yes, the shoulder retraction would happen after impact. After maximum arm extension in the follow through, so well after the wipe. It would be part of the bracing that would help you feel the tug of the club.
Happy Golfing,
Tyler

I think the ultimate goal is to have an adaptable swing. Your question, “how do I swing when I’m sore” could easily branch into “how do I swing when I’m stiff?” “when my balance feels off?” “when I have a harder time focusing or feeling things…
