Hi Joey,

I agree that working on your impact position (attached picture), and the sequencing to get there likely has the biggest upside. I wouldn't really put you in the early extension category. Your hips are deep enough compared to your feet. If…

In old school language, it looks like you got a little quick on the left driver shot.

The hands get a little more out early, the body stands up causing a swallowing late and the club path is more in to out with a faster closing club face. It's a li…

Agreed, looks a lot less throwy.
Keep it up,
Tyler

Hi Ron,

I'll do a video on this because I think it's a common question. Activating the body parts in a sequence is one of the keys to power. So the arms aren't completely passive. In that sense, it's similar to throwing a ball. You want the body t…

It's easy to miss some of the videos, I'm working on that this year :)

I think all the tools have merit. Anything that helps you sequence the body from the ground up will be helpful. And yes, I think some of the tools can be made easily, but some a…

Hi Andrew,

Yes, the COM behind the hands idea seems to help with the concepts of swallowing, sequencing, lag, shaft lean etc. It seems to help prevent getting steep at the bottom and overly arm dominant. The only concern I saw in the demo was that…

I finally got a chance to watch it, really cool documentary. Thanks for sharing. I think this video helps dispel the idea that good athletes don't think about their technique. Every tour pro I've ever worked with had a better than average understand…

Following the video, the description is correct. The wipe helps you get the arms ahead of the ball. In practice, your demonstration has too much movement of your head toward the target. It's spine extension that will stop this, I'll film a video abo…

Hi Dave,

I think your inside takeaway is more of result of the body pivot, but perhaps could have a little bit of shoulder lift as well. Let's look at the body pivot.

If you compare the alignment stick drill with your default takeaway, you'll see…

Hi Mark,

In general, I like the rope training and speed concepts taught in Mach 3. I have a few videos that I think align with the "speed up and in front" idea.

Glad you have some time to work on your game. It can be a rewarding journey.

In analyzing your swing, I'd saw you have more of a late cast or release issue more than a power source/early cast. See the face on video. You don't really cast during th…

Hi Steve,

I think you have a good diagnosis of the situation. The arms are steep and the body is on the shallower side. Since you have the hack motion, I'd take a look to see if you are getting some extra wrist extension in transition. You have a …

Hi Tom,

Sorry for the delay, really busy start to my year, but slowly getting caught up again.

I'll start with the low point line, I think the arms are pulling in too much through impact. If we look at your impact position from the face on, it's…

When looking at it from a, "i hate the hook" perspective, there are a couple things to look at.

The hands have a little radial deviation which is pro hook if it happens too early. A longer arc width is anti-hook in general. Also, the clubface is n…

I often cycle back and forth as well. I think that's a natural part of golf training.

One of the challenges with late nite practice is that the shaft/hands/club can be hard to read. But it looks a little steeper and hands a little less deep, that …
