Re: Engaging Core

  By: Tyler F on Sept. 26, 2021, 4:33 p.m.

Hi Ed,

The 10-2 does look better, look at the comparison at impact. The biggest issue is that with the pump drill, you get the abs engaged early and keep them working, with the full swing, it looks like they are getting involved later, but the mome…

Re: lead arm swing

Hey Dan,

That's a pretty good-looking move for a lead arm-only swing. There are always things that can be cleaned up, but the general pieces are there pretty well. Usually, the hardest thing with the lead arm-only swing is getting the trail side ab…

Hi Sarah,

Welcome to the journey! We are finishing up a couple of programs that I think will be exactly what you're looking for. Keep an eye posted for those soon. In the meantime, check out the beginner program playlist here https://www.golfsmarta…

Here's a quick video answer. Also, check out this video I did on the nicklaus comment.

Videos should be back up now. Let me know if you find any others that are missing!

Re: Early extension for power and face??

  By: Tyler F on Aug. 17, 2021, 9:12 p.m.

If it were me, I'd say the early extension is minor. The camera moves around a bit, but the change in location of the head and pelvis seem to be slight. To me, the bigger cause of inconsistency is the arm motions through impact. The follow through p…

Regarding the two pictures.

Follow through picture - I would try to get the left arm straighter with less rotation That would help prevent the hooks but require some more body contribution for power. Keeping that arm straight and less lead shoulde…

Before starting with the flaw, I would probably start with the main ball flight issue. Do you struggle more with consistent contact, or direction. If it's direction, then which direction does it error?

From a pure match-up point of view, you could …

Re: Right hip/knee on downswing

  By: Tyler F on Aug. 1, 2021, 3:55 p.m.

I never try to guess what a golfer will fill. Every week on the lesson tee a golfer surprises me when they describe what a better move feels like. Last week a golfer trying to feel their chest down felt his nostril was closer to the ground. Also, th…

Re: Bracing before impact

  By: Tyler F on Aug. 1, 2021, 10:49 a.m.

I refer to bracing as the idea of what you use to slow down the club. So in your example, the body position would lend itself more to bracing with the body vs bracing with the arms or shoulders. In my view, bracing with the whole body is a better ap…

Re: Right hip/knee on downswing

I can try to elaborate. But, where are you stuck? There are two ideas, stay down and turn through.

With the idea of having your chest stay down, you have to overcome what it feels and looks like to be closer to the ground. If you are closer to the…

Re: Some progress...

  By: Tyler F on July 23, 2021, 4:54 p.m.

Good job on the early extension. But yes, it does look like that was saving some of your natural path tendencies. So, the pull is likely coming from the lack of ulnar deviation. The lack of UD shows up earlier in the downswing, but is really reveale…

Hopefully this helps clear up the upper vs lower body thought.

Hey Garrett,

It kinda looks like you get stuck when trying to go back into the heels.

There are two ends to the pivot part, You could experiment with having the upper body stay more down, which encourages the legs to work more away from the ball…
