Do you have a video of you doing the drill? those can be really helpful in deciding which drill to do instead. It gives a glimpse into how your brain is currently "solving the problem".

The roundness of the ribs is pretty hard to see from down the line. But it does look like you're making progress.

Comparing the posture in the two pictures. Yes, I slightly prefer the more recent one.

Our weather is just turning toward spring, h…

Hi Dirk,

Unfortunately, there isn't a standard for bounce numbers and designs across manufacturers. Also, I think adjusting bounce has just as much to do with the firmness and type of soil as much as the thickness or length of the grass. I would gi…

Looks like you're on to something. It's definitely the best your impact position has looked, arm height is much better and the release is more shallow. So the positions are good. That said, the follow through position gives me a little concern for c…

When it comes to AOA and solid strikes, I usually start with the impact line. https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/training-your-low-point-line/

You'll see that while you get your body stacked up pretty well (So I don't think you need …

I think that's a good starting point, but I would be curious to Dr. Kwon's opinion as well as how to handle it from above the FSP (ie. in transition).

Hi Guy,

Thanks for the question, I'm sure a lot of other golfers have similar questions. I hope that at some point we have a number we can reference (neutral) and you can quickly see if you are steeper or shallower than that. I think the challenge …

Those winters can be brutal, you sure you're out of the woods (or snow?) Which knee was operated on. Face on video is better for seeing knee stability restrictions more than DTL.

Yes, sounds like you're on to something. The stall is from the pivot …

Here's my version of the basic idea - https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/defining-steep-and-shallow-understand-swing-plane/

Hi John,

Thanks for the kind words.

With the long irons, we have to create more of a flat spot than with the short irons. This usually means more axis tilt and more arm extension through the ball. You tend to really hold the elbow bend constant t…

Hi Scott,

I think there are two spots that could make sense to start, so I'd probably play around with them and see which one is the most natural. The club is a little steep at the top and in transition. it doesn't look as steep as it is because y…

Hi Mark,

Thanks for posting your swing and letting me help in your process. I may be biased, but I think there is always hope.

I think the lowest hanging fruit with your swing is working on getting your steeps and shallows more balanced. It gets…

Hope it's going well. Feel free to post an update or another swing with follow-through focus and we can refine from there.

Yes, on the graphs I posted, the zero line would be the arm at the height of the shoulder. So they start with the arm lower than that, and move towards it (or even past) that height at the top of the swing. Yes, sounds like you've got it. If it star…
