+Kevin M Some people do better feeling the arm connection you're describing. I think that's a fine feel. More of the rotation through the release comes from the lower arm than the upper arm. There are exceptions (like Jon Rahm) but the forearm seems…

Re: Shallow the shaft with rotation?

+Ed C I advocate using video to help calibrate your personal clubface control needs. By using face alignment before or after shaft parallel in the downswing, you can see if you need more of the flexion piece of the motorcycle or the supination piece…

+David M Yes hands behind the shaft in transition comes from a feeling similar to those you mentioned. Everyone experiences the same moves differently

Re: Putting Stroke Help

+Nick W Stroke is looking much better. I'd keep working on the lower body stability. It looks like your lower-body rotates a bit in the downswing. You can play with anchoring your lower body at the hips, knees, or feet. I'll post a couple of ways to…

Here's a response to those three questions.

+Jules C Yes, on their website, you can order one with or without the clubhead. For everyone else, I'd recommend ordering it with the clubhead if you get it!

+Thomas B Looking better on the posture, keep an eye out for the clubface. Here's the release drill I mentioned. https://golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/swing-extender-shaft-rotation/

+Guy K Here's a drill related to your idea. https://golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/body-backswing-tempo/
But yes, focusing on rhythm in the backswing can help load the legs better. Swinging a rope can help get that rhythm to feel more natural.

How I prefer to train with the impact snap

+Guy K I haven't seen anything that discusses the advantage of pressing the ground. I can see some potential benefit to pushing down as a rhythm trigger to starting the swing. I do like the idea of the lead foot starting the takeaway, and a little p…

Re: What is your opinion to make chip with lag ?

+B M Glad to hear that you're making some progress with your finesse wedge move. This crazy time with Covid is a great time to solidify concepts. Then when you get to training this summer, hopefully, you're time will be more effectively used. Hang i…

Morning golfers, are you confused about shallowing out the shaft in transition? Here's a breakdown of the simple way to look at what shallows and what steepens in transition. This will help you understand the advantages, or the dangers, of turning h…

Re: Video answers to your pressing questions

+Ed C
Here is my take on super speed. If you train speed out toward the target, instead of at the ball. It can be beneficial. Also, the shape of the club is different. The super-speed sticks train you to speed up the hosel, not the sweet spot.

Our member asked the question - "Right hip pivot video please. How much knee flex? Do you like to see a straight right leg at top of swing? Does right foot straight or flared open assist proper hip pivot?"

Here you go Stuart, let me know if someth…
