I'm thrilled to hear about your progress. Keep it up.
Hmm, here's a video I did on how to adjust the path for uneven lies. Let me know if it answers your questions?

+David M I can't say it's something I've studied intently. But it has come up a number of times in classes I've attended. The phrase that comes up the most is the "quiet eye". The quiet eye is a gaze in which the eyes hold a position and focus. But,…

+Ed O I appreciate the comment. I like to think I share some cutting edge understanding of the mechanics of the swing and how to train it. Glad you found something similar.
PS - I completely agree about the sentiments toward Butch. I have a deep a…

+Mark E The timing of the left side bend is blending throughout the backswing. You'll see the bigger difference in the pattern is usually in transition. In transition is the time I really look for the amount and timing of the left side bend. Here ar…

+Jules C I think we are in agreement on the teaching aspect of it. The drill that you described (finger on the sweet spot) I've used for many years as a drill to connect the motorcycle to the pivot. I like it so much I taught it in the level 2 coach…

I've been meaning to post this for a while. I think there are some good nuggets in here. First, George advocates getting the face under control before…

+Guy K Thanks for the share. I've done something similar with some elastic tubing that I think is similar. I like the way the tubing attaches to the hands better, but it serves the same function. Keeping the trail elbow extension and the trail shoul…

+Ed C I think there are a couple of lessons to be learned here, but the major lesson is that you'll likely be better at what you practice. Now let me build on your comment.
Around the green, I like to build shots. Similar to a baseball pitcher work…

I really like the phrase Stan Utley says about using your wrists in the putting stroke. He said, "I want you to use your wrists, I don't want you to look wristy".
Locking the wrists down completely will likely compromise touch, but the ra…

In this video, Jon Rahm hits different distances with a 7 iron. I've noticed that golfers with a better sequence are able to hit different distances easier. If you have trouble with taking some speed off your swing, it could be a sign that you have …

I personally wasn't a huge fan of the plane mate. It gave some interesting feels while using it that I thought would have carry over, but it didn't really show up that way for me or any of the students I tried it with.
As far as the gravity…

Vascos,
From what I've seen, there are two keys here: keeping the eyes focused on the ball and controlling the movement of the upper body.
In some ways, keeping the eyes focused on the ball helps keep the upper body more centered. This centeredne…
