Re: Training Aid - Down Under Board

For others looking, I did a site video reviewing this product https://golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/review-downunder-board/

Re: Breaking the handle drag habit

Hey Matt,
I'm sorry for the delay, I thought I answered your question last week. Anyway, I haven't seen a really clear definition of handle dragging. Perhaps you can share what you mean by that term? Once we have it pinned down, we can come up with …

Re: Tour pros and ulnar deviation

  By: Tyler F on Nov. 16, 2020, 1:36 p.m.

For many tour golfers, the ulnar deviation does start quite early in the downswing. I think one of the big keys is that it's more of a relaxed or passive move. When a golfer tries to do it forcefully, that usually messes things up.

Also, look at y…

Hi Eugene,

Here's a video I did on ways to see ulnar deviation on video. Maybe it'll help tide you over until I can do a video with 3D graphs or video examples.

I would use impact spray and a couple of tees to make a putter gate. Have you tried this setup?

Hey Matt,
This is the best time to work on bigger changes like that. I'll try to help. Maybe you could post a swing here and we can identify the pieces to work through. While I hear the term thrown around, I've yet to see a really clear definition o…

Re: Grip sizing

  By: Tyler F on Nov. 4, 2020, 7:43 a.m.

Hi John,

I haven't seen any data on it specifically. Mechanically, a larger grip could restrict radial deviation, but wouldn't have a big influence on flexion/extension or pronatation/supination. I put a number of my older students in larger grips …

Re: Jackson 5 vs. Squat/turn/push

I agree with the causation and correlation thing. Hopefully, you find the answers you're looking for in my videos on this site :)

Re: Early Extension Late is Gone - But Still Steep?

  By: Tyler F on Oct. 29, 2020, 8:06 p.m.

Ed,

Welcome back to the plan. As a regroup, I'd say more pressing than the path in transition is the alignment of the shaft at impact. That's WAY too much shaft lean for a driver. BUT, the clubface is square, so it means that you'll have to recali…

Garrett,

I don't mind being put on the spot :)

One thing I try to preach is that there is no magic feel for every golfer. Rather, what you need to focus on depends on where your swing is now and how it compares to your model. I think most instruc…

Re: Arms wrist first or hips/body

  By: Tyler F on Oct. 27, 2020, 8:49 p.m.

Hi Garrett,

Welcome to the site! Looking at your swing, I would go first at the body. You get into a pretty solid follow-through position, and while your transition is a bit narrow, I think the body movements are more likely to cause your inconsis…

Re: Arms or pivot or both?

  By: Tyler F on Oct. 25, 2020, 9:28 a.m.

As you know, they both work together. But, when I look at your swing, I think the body position is the bigger influence. The arms don't look too bad, but you'll have a hard time finding driver consistency with such little axis tilt. Body position, t…

Re: Improving impact position

  By: Tyler F on Oct. 25, 2020, 9:24 a.m.

Garrett,

I'm seeing pretty much the same thing you are. With the full swing, you tend to pull a little harder with your arm through impact instead of turning the body. A good test might be for you to try the L to L but hit it HARD and see if you br…

Re: Just some clean up areas and questions from DTL

Hey Ben,

Good looking move. Here are 3 pictures to help understand your draw issue. The last parallel shows the club coming from the inside, but the exit is under the hand checkpoint. If you look at the video, the path doesn't really go left until…
