Here's a quick analysis of your bunker swing. I think you need to get some more steepness to help the contact. If the ideas don't work, then try this drill to help force yourself to get more on top. https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/…

Paul, great thoughts. I think starting with some data as to what you are actually doing is a great starting point. And I agree that simply bulking up won't help many golfers hit it further. I really wish Bryson had done his changes in stages. Either…

Hi Paul,

I don't mind the videos. In fact, they help a ton! Like you said, they are worth AT LEAST a thousand words

I'd watch this early downswing phase, that's where it looks like that trail elbow gets a bit behind you. Also, you want to be care…

I didn't quite follow the initial description. But sounds like you have a bit of a plan.

As far as feeling upper body dominance without getting stuck. Usually feeling stuck comes from early extension (downswing loss of posture). When that happens, …

I think it's interesting that no one has shared a story of using the sticks to gain 10 MPH without losing contact. The challenge with those sticks is that they give you a good swing direction, but no training on face control or low point. So it's re…

Hi Paul,
In this scenario, I'd think of it like learning a partner dance move. You learn the feet. You learn the arms. Then you learn to do them simultaneously. Yes, I'd probably start by working on the lower body pivot, but you'll also have to down…

Alright, here's a playlist of most (if not all) of my current pivot drills. But I'll add some more when I film them in the next couple of weeks.

Looking good! It might be a touch upper body dominant, but overall it's looking like some solid positions. Can you work it into bigger swings, or does it only work on 9-3's?

Yes, I think it can be a good metric in the right hands. If you are using it as a way to calibrate what movements help you increase the number and the timing. But I think many golfers would be surprised by what movements move the needle. It might be…

That's a good suggestion. I'll organize it this Sunday!

Unfortunately, with those devices, I would think of it more in terms of muscle activation and quality of movement. So I'd use the down under board if I wanted more adductor activation or help with deep core activation. I'd use a band if I wanted mor…

I'll do a few videos on it, but the quick summary is that, in my opinion, the GRF stuff is overdone in golf. It's something that's easy to measure, so there is a lot of capability to look at it easily. But I don't find the information that useful. I…

Well, if you have to track one stat nGIR by hand, it's probably worth it to help prioritize.

But it sounds like you have some clear goals. That's great! Now you have to break those global goals down into tangible goals. That's where you can plan h…

The band activates your glutes, the board helps activate your adductors. Two different ways of making you use less quads in the golf swing. One reinforces the posterior chain, one reinforces more of the anterior chain. So they are similar, but also …

Hi John,
I haven't seen an explicit connection between the wrist movement and the hand path. If you want to post a swing, I'd be happy to give it a quick look. Otherwise, if it's working, it's more important to get video so you have a good reference…
