Re: My wrists have asked me to please stop digging holes

+Ham S Keep investigating things like the Moe Norman drill. I would definitely use some type of visual like the pool noodle in right path with a pool noodle. Or something like the wall drill. https://golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/pool-noodle…

Re: Power loss

+Sam K Hi Sam,

It looks to me like it's more of the open club face and path going left late (giving more of the thin glancing blow). Looking at the face on, it looks like you have good shaft lean, but your upper body is well behind the left hip. Tr…

Re: Long swing help?

  By: Tyler F on June 5, 2020, 5:18 p.m.

+Ned G I wound investigate why the swing breaks down when you swing bigger. Does the path/face change? or does the low point/center of your swing change?

Based on that answer, I'd train either longer and slower swings gradually adding length. Or s…

+Olle E unhinge is looking better. So keep working on that. If you start having more contact issues, then you will be able to start moving on to working on chest rotation or the wipe (trail elbow more in front).

This unhinge piece will help you un…

+Ryan M I haven't seen one in person yet, but it seems like a good idea. I hope I can get one soon and play around with it. I'm guessing that set up is key and needs to be adjusted a bit for each individual, but I like spatial awareness aids like th…

+Ed C yes, the divot location is pretty indicative of handicap level :)

Re: Better ball contact

+rgailun1113 The timing of when your arms goes flat is quite late. It's part of how you load your trail shoulder elevation move in transition. I think you'd struggle more if you get your arms more vertical at the top of the swing without addressing …

+Olle E I tell my students to describe themselves as working on a movement, instead of doing a movement. It's a subtle shift, but it can help if you feel like you're doing something but here are two images that show you haven't quite mastered the un…

Re: My wrists have asked me to please stop digging holes

  By: Tyler F on May 26, 2020, 5:41 p.m.

+Ham S Given that info, and the left arm wanting to pull, I would probably do the left arm only 9 to 3. It might be a real game changer for understanding how the left arm works during the release. That might help you change how you load and unload i…

+rgailun1113 Good looking move, let me know what you think of the analysis!

Grip in your palm - Great images from the weekend match

  By: Tyler F on May 26, 2020, 5:06 p.m.

Hey Golfers,

Take a look at Tiger compared to Tom Brady post impact. If you've had a hard time visualizing a grip in the palm vs the fingers of the left hand, this image will help!

For extra credit, look at the divot location compared to the set u…

Re: Hitting vs swinging

  By: Tyler F on May 25, 2020, 4:22 p.m.

+Ned G I've never really understood the difference between hitting and swinging. I get the idea in theory, but when I've asked people for something quantifiable on 3D, I've never had a concrete answer. I like to teach the body to work as a unit, and…

Why start with the Motorcycle?

  By: Tyler F on May 25, 2020, 1:39 p.m.

Drew, I hope this helps answer your question and helps give you an idea of how to navigate working on your swing change.

I realize that I didn't address the idea of "no power". Often times, the motorcycle movement feels weak at first if you are use…
