Hi Steve,

Thanks for the compliment. I think the shoulder blades are a key piece for understanding the swing, so you're right, I'm surprised it's not talked about more!

As far as your swing, I can see what you mean about pulling a thread. You ha…

Hi David,

I get the challenge of trying to work on one area (irons) while not lose the other area (driver). Sometimes you just have to work through it and prioritize one while managing the other. I think one of the unifying concepts that will help…

Hi Danny,

Thanks for posting your swing. Sorry for the delay, I've been on the road the last two weeks.

I think you are spot on with your analysis. Looking at the swing, I would have guessed that you struggle with pulls more than weak right, so …

Hi Bruno,

Sorry for the delay, I've been on the road the last two weeks, but I'm flying back to the Bay Area today. Email me at tyler@golfsmartacademy.com and I'll tell you about my in person coaching. I teach at La Rinconada CC in Los Gatos. I hav…

Hi Tony,

I think there might be something there, but I have a hard time understanding the details and nuance. For example, if you're a front post golfer with an on top trail hand, how do you make that work for the driver? If you're a trail post gol…

I've actually been on the road for almost 2 weeks, but I'll return to a mostly box free home soon!

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the dual internal hip rotation look. When the hips reach maximum internal rotation, it locks down the lower body…

Hmm, by your description, you might do well with a little recipe of the push ball drill followed by a 9 to 3 to get a feeling of making contact from a more stacked spine position. You might want to combo the anti slide station to help you avoid slid…

Hi David,

There's a few questions here. Lets address them.

The reason your hands are always behind your right thigh is that your thigh is too far forward compared to your shoulder. Basically, you have a fair amount of tilt from pelvis, and the up…

Hey Zach,

I might have missed your comment about the cutty stinger as a goal. It's not a bad one. Especially if done well. Try to avoid a deep divot and that should help you get more neutral with some of your more draw elements.

The role of inter…

Hey Guy, not Ghee,

I'm still traveling and dealing with prep for my class this weekend, so no time for a video until Feb. But, I'm curious, what do you hope the non-swinging version will help you understand. If you just move the handle forward, is…

Hi Guy, here's a quick answer video. Hope it helps. But let me know if it's still not clear, or if you have any follow up questions, and I'll make it more clear when I film a full video in a few weeks.

Hey Dirk,

I have seen some of the videos that Joe Mayo has posted regarding Victor's short game. I think if you boil it down, the movements he teaches and the movements I teach are more similar than different. I think his emphasis on a double-digi…

Hi Guy,

Great question. My 3D data that supports it comes from the wrist graphs and the axial velocity graph. The club is twisting closed fairly quickly at impact and the wrists are typically 20 to 30 degrees more flexed/extended at impact. One wa…

Hi Zach, Happy New Year to you too.

Yes, it's always tricky chasing a look or a ball flight. Sometimes you can create a messy situation for the body.

Working on the distance wedges could be a helpful exercise. Usually, golfers with your pattern …
