Hey Kevin,

Here's a video to tide you over. We have a little backlog of videos, so it'll take me a few more weeks to get a full version out there :)

Looks like a cool product. Let me know what you think of it after you play around with it for a while! I hope it transfers to better on course speed control!

Good to know. I'll have to check them out!

In order to clear the hips, you have to create an environment that supports it. Meaning, you'll need the club to be a little more shallower and more closed. In your case, I think the closed face is the bigger issue. The takeaway checkpoint reveals t…

Where you position the camera can influence certain patterns you might see. If you are trying to assess your face and path, then you'd want to be consistent. Since most videos are close to hand height and parallel to the hand line, I tend to go ther…

Two good rules for couples are:
No unsolicited feedback
Yes or no questions only

Basically, she can't ask "what did I do?" She can ask something specific like, "did I go over the top."
That's when you can answer "yes or no". But don't add anything …

A sports psychologist once told me that the psychology side is about 5% of sports. He worked with track and field mostly. He said, "no way of thinking will make someone a full second faster." So yes, technique work in a sport like golf creates a hig…

I haven't seen a big difference between 720 and 1080p for analyzing a swing. i don't think 4K will be that much better, but I could be wrong. What would make a huge difference would be a manual (or higher) shutter speed mode. But that's not importan…

Not a problem. I like tough questions. I've studied a lot and understand the complexity of some injuries/pain patterns. So I tend to shy away from blanket injury recommendations.

As far as the necessity. At the top of the swing, the average disass…

The iPhone hasn't really updated it's high speed camera in a number of generations. So any one of the models more recent than like the iPhone 5 will shoot 240 FPS at 1080. There are a host of different apps. I personally use Technique (by Hudl). But…

I once had dinner with Stan Utley. He brought up a conversation he had with Brad Faxon about how neither of them every tried to make a putt. They were so involved with the process that all they tried to do was start a ball online with the speed they…

Nick,
Tread lightly in coaching your spouse :)

That said, baseball/softball players have a few common struggles. One, they don't like to motorcycle. Two, they don't like side bend. Three, they like to overload radial deviation a the top.

With you…

Hi Max,

As you've seen, this movement does produce better geometry than a forward lunge. There are a two main categories of different things that might cause pain. Either the movement itself is stressing an area too much. Or an area is damaged and …
