+Mark E Good question. The ideal timing of the ulnar deviation just after the lead leg pushes vertically. That vertical push helps trigger the side bend movement and upward movement of the lead shoulder which helps trigger the ulnar deviation. The t…

+Steven B The most common drill for covering the ball with your chest is the merry go round, but here's a quick video answer on what to look out for with covering the ball with your chest.

+chordsaplenty I do think having the lead heel come over the ground can help with rhythm/sequencing.
Also, thanks for posting the Mike Austin video, I definitely would wear one of those suits if I can find one :)

+John C Here are a couple of drills that relate to foot/balance pressure. I'll use the alignment stick in the backswing as well as how it's demonstrated in the downswing video. PS - Moving into the toes is definitely one of the core reasons golfers …

+Guy K Gotcha, thanks for sharing.
That recentering has more to do with the pivot and how the legs/pelvis work against the ground and work with the spine/core. The left side bend is also a sign of using the core correctly, but it can be done with o…

+chordsaplenty I thought I had done an analysis on Matt Wolff's swing as well. But I couldn't find it either! I'll have to do another one in the near future.
I think for a lot of golfers, using a step or lifting the heel to help with timing and ra…

+Olle E Thanks for sharing your feedback. After practicing it more, is the unhinge piece feeling more comfortable? Is it still solving the miss pattern?
Keep it up!

+John C Hi John, thanks for the comment. Yes, so far, everyone I know is safe and healthy.
I think the simple answer is yes, that left side bend straightens the leg. But I think the better answer is that if you turn around the spine angle establis…

+Nick W I appreciate your share/thoughts. Yes, there is definitely a difference in having the technique and having the skills to score. To be able to score, you need to refine your practice habits and build a solid routine for each shot. This routin…

+Seb J Good observation. I definitely prefer to see the inside of the forearm longer through impact. When I see the back of the elbow show up quickly, we usually have to fight pulls and pull hooks.

1 - How much it compares at set up varies a lot. It's dependent on grip and release pattern. As a general rule, both arms are about 30 degrees more pronated at impact than it was at set u…

+Nick W As you get better and approach breaking 80 more consistently, I see routines becoming more and more important. A routine is part of the glue that helps things breed consistency.
