Re: Opinions regarding the Motorcycle Move

  By: Tyler F on Dec. 8, 2020, 7:53 p.m.

If you want to post a swing, or a drill swing, and talk through how to work on clubface squaring in your swing. The offer to help you still stands. Or, if you want to discuss alternative theories on why the drills on this site have given my student …

In the interim, if you want to post a couple videos of you doing step drills or lower body activation drills to the "help my swing" section, I'm happy to give you my 2 cents. It might help.

Re: Opinions regarding the Motorcycle Move

Since I'm not a golf theorist, my goal is to help golfers practically able the golf science theory to their own games. If the motorcycle move doesn't close the face, that's fine. I'm happy if a better theory comes up that explains why it works. But …

Re: Practice Tee: How to practice different starting lines?

In simulating the on-course scenarios it's helpful to challenge and stress yourself. While you can explore feel, visual, rhythm as a way of organizing your pre-shot routine. In addition, you can reflect on how you store stress. Some people store str…

Hey Guy,

It seems that more of our members have some lower body questions. So I'll do a round of videos presenting some of my more common drills. I do use step drills a lot, but I also use drills to try to isolate the hip muscles from the knee mus…

Re: What are your golf goals for 2020?

  By: Tyler F on Dec. 6, 2020, 6:04 p.m.

Getting clear on your stats can help prioritize.

Tour pros average 12-13 GIR and 95% nGIR (within 20 yards). Scratch golf is about 9 GIR, so I give the rough guide of 85% nGIR for my golfers trying to get to scratch. The good rounds, they'll be cl…

It's hard to imagine that the year is almost over!

I've always thought that the important part of the goal-setting process is the process. For example, with my goals. I was able to play one round virtually pain-free (didn't have the time or capaci…

Thanks for the comment/concern. My goal with the site is to help do-it-yourself golfers find ways to improve their swing. There are three primary needs with your golf swing.
1. Control the face-to-path = hit it straight(ish)
2. Control the path = hi…

Hi Paul, Welcome to the site. Martin's a great coach, I'm glad that he introduced you to our program :)

As far as your swing, I think there are two complementary pieces to work on. Which one you start with really depends on which feels the most com…

Re: Getting speed into the grip early without casting

  By: Tyler F on Nov. 29, 2020, 11:21 a.m.

I have an idea about how you would have to design it. I think you would need a spring gauge. A rope or pully would require too much linear force in one direction, instead of more of a curving force.

With the lead arm pinned to your chest idea, I g…

Hi Max, Thanks for not putting me in a tough situation.

I saw the same thing with my 3D. I define the delivery position based on the max grip speed. What I saw clinically was that very few golfers moved the hands faster when they tried to. I foun…

Re: Question on supination trail arm & tpi graph

  By: Tyler F on Nov. 22, 2020, 9:01 a.m.

I'm sure if you opened up the actual file, it would read with the proper labels. I'm guessing they are automatically generated for the report. The graph looks correct, but the label looks backward on that page. No, I've never seen anyone even close …

I've looked at so many of those reports that I'm surprised I never noticed that! Yes, that would be a typo. If you take the trail wrist graph, and remove the other variables, then it shows you the scale. See the attached photo. It shows positive is …

That does make sense. In fact, you might be describing something similar to this video I did back in the Denver days :)

Hi Adam,
Welcome to the site. As you can see, the issues in a swing are typically interrelated. There are a few things going on in your move. I'll address the specific issues, then a suggestion.

First, if you see the picture, the clubface is on th…
