Re: Shoulder blade motion

  By: Nick W on Aug. 11, 2020, 7:54 p.m.

I’m very interested to see this. My right shoulder is not “normal” after years of throwing baseballs. I’ve worked to add mass and strength to it, but I often still have a dull aching pain there.

I’ve also seen guys like Cam Smith use the GravityFit…

Ex Putt

  By: Nick W on Aug. 11, 2020, 7:47 p.m.

Hi All,
While I’ve come a long way in improving my putting technique, I still struggle with speed control. It’s just too hard for me to get to a putting green on a consistent basis to practice.

So, I started looking for ways to train putting speed …

Yes, I was definitely nervous about trying to help her. I've seen some brutal husband/wife and boyfriend/girlfriend exchanges on the driving range and did not want that! I always tell her that she can do whatever she wants when we play golf an…

Re: Lost Art of Putting Book

  By: Nick W on Aug. 5, 2020, 1:03 p.m.

To add a little more color on what I used to feel vs. just one round of the new mindset. When I addressed a putt, I used to get a similar sensation to being on the top of a rollercoaster about to go down a big drop (and I hate rollercoasters).

Re: Best iPhone for Swing Video

  By: Nick W on Aug. 5, 2020, 12:58 p.m.

Thanks Tyler,
I will be buying a lower priced iPhone model then if they are all basically the same! I might try to see if my phone can hold out for a few more months and see if the rumored 4k recording at 240fps makes its way into the iPhone 12. I w…

Best iPhone for Swing Video

  By: Nick W on Aug. 4, 2020, 3:52 p.m.

Hello All,
My current iPhone is breaking down, so I'm looking at getting a new one. Any advice on the best iPhone and/or iPhone accessories for golf swing video?

Thank you,

Nick

Lost Art of Putting Book

  By: Nick W on Aug. 2, 2020, 6:31 p.m.

Hello All,
I just shot an 80 at fairly easy course that I play often. My previous best there was 81, which I’d done four times.

I shot this score with probably my worst ball striking day of the summer. I really don’t even feel like I played well, d…

Help My Wife - Iron Swing

  By: Nick W on Aug. 2, 2020, 2:28 p.m.

Hello All,
My wife is getting back into golf. She played a decent amount growing up, but focused on other sports starting in high school (softball and basketball; I think you can see some softball influence in her swing).

Now, she has been playing…

Sheftic Pressure Board

  By: Nick W on July 29, 2020, 6:59 p.m.

Hey Tyler,
I know you typically do not like training aids, but thought this one might be one of the few your would see value in.

It’s basically a board that helps you feel pressure shift.

Re: Driver Help

  By: Nick W on July 20, 2020, 12:42 p.m.

Yes, spot on in both accounts. The club is still higher than the ball here, but it’s lower than it used to be... just need to keep making progress on it.

Also, my angle of attack has gotten more negative as I’ve worked on flattening out the bottom,…

Driver Help

  By: Nick W on July 18, 2020, 8:26 p.m.

Hi All,
I’ve been working on getting more consistent with the drive through earlier unhinging creating a longer flat spot.

It feels a lot less powerful so it’s hard to get used to. I also am trying to get my weight back more off my toes and more c…

Thanks for the note Tyler; I’d love to know what you think of it once you get one.

Hey All,
Mike King, a minor league reliever, was on Eric Cressey's podcast a little while back. He talked about how he realized he could 5 MPH to his fastball just by adding weight, not necessarily even muscle. He made it a routine to eat a…

A quick update on my work in this area and a question for you.

Update
I've been practicing my routine, my setup and the feel of switching between clubs. For me, it is a lot less fun than hitting ball after ball because actually hitting th…

How to Practice Swing

  By: Nick W on May 10, 2020, 3:06 p.m.

Hello All,
Coming off just reading Tom Coyne's Paper Tiger (great read about a good amateur player who dedicates himself to golf for a full year with the goal of making the Tour). I played a round yesterday and came to an interesting realization. To…
