Hi Ishollands,

I think there is more variety on the takeaway than there is on the downswing, so I'd strive for a good downswing pattern first. There are three things to monitor with your stroke, how it looks (including the data), how it feels, and …

Hi Ed,

Sounds like a plan.

I would probably work on the follow-through/release trying to get better extension through the ball with less of the shoulders spinning open through the release. I'd use one of these three benchmarks as my goal. Either…

It looks like the turtle shell idea is doing better. It helps improve your early extension.

Regarding your questions. 1, I haven't heard the release timing change too often. But Jack Nicklaus did say that you can't release it too soon as long as y…

Hi John,

Welcome to the site! You have a good-looking move for only playing less than a year. But yes, as a former tennis player, I can relate to how much harder golf is compared to tennis. The difference between your good days and bad days in golf…

Hi Stan,
Tyler here. Jake doesn't answer these posts anymore. He's blown up and does his own thing on Instagram. There should be a lot of overlap with the principles you learned from S&T. I have a lot of drills to help learn through experience. …

Jeremy,

Yes, the lower reps will help, but the most important key is making sure that you're doing the motion more from the hips and rib cage while the abs stay active. I know you did some rehab there, so hopefully you're better at keeping your ab…

No sport is a perfect parallel to the golf swing, but baseball has some common challenges that don't translate. Looking at baseball impact is like looking at a perfect recipe for a face-open chunk shank.

Same thing in your picture, low point, and …

Jake doesn't really check these posts anymore, but I'll add my two cents.

For the takeaway, I like the analogy of pushing a shopping cart. When you push the shopping cart, you use your legs/feet, your core, and your arms in concert. What you feel …

I like that trail arm connection drill for you. It should help you get some new feels for that right side!

Thank you, it's fun to have a community of like-minded golf nerds 🙏

Hi Dan, Yes, I agree that the rib cage sway can help integrate a few things more naturally. Your list (starting lead shoulder down, keeping back to target, not spinning shoulders over too fast, not pulling with hands initially etc.) is pretty good. …

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for the post, I'm glad you're still grinding at it. Yes, I think working on the body will help complement the arms.

So I think the key piece in your grocery list is the leg extension as part of the bracing. I know that once whe…

Typically, deep divots require a few factors. Either the body has lowered so that the depth of the swing is too low compared to the golf ball, or the arms have pulled in while lengthening through impact. If you look at the example pictures I posted,…

The common theme between the putting arc and the full swing is that both clubs are swung on a tilted plane. That tilted plane creates an inward and upward movement in the backswing, down and out in the downswing, and then back up and in on the follo…

I agree that the disassociation is looking better there. You might still keep an eye on the trail arm connection in the release, but overall it looks less "hookish".

Good luck!
Tyler
