Hey Tyler,
I'm curious if you find any of the personal motion capture devices useful (ie 4D Motion, HackMotion, K-Vest, etc.) or if you are of the opinion that they are not yet accurate enough to be worth the investment.

Thanks Kory. I bought the book last night. Looking forward to reading it.

Hello All,
Thought I would share an interesting (at least interesting to me) story with you all. I was able to play two rounds this weekend and shot 86 both times. A couple years ago before coming to GSA, I'd have been thrilled to have cracked 90 tw…

Thank you! Quick follow up questions.

By better players, would that be ~10hcp and below?

Is there a particular bounce you'd recommend? I think Sieckmann recommended 4 to 7 degrees for the 58 degree whereas Utley recommended 12 degrees for…

Thanks Tyler!
I wasn't happy with my hips and knees just yet or I would have submitted this for a swing review. I felt like I was doing something a little off with my takeaway, but couldn't put my finger on it; the handle dragging is spot o…

Given the situation we are in, I thought I’d check in with my progress on the full year goals.

I am doing surprisingly well! I’ve nearly reached my weight goal for the year, although I’ll need to keep it on through year end.

With the gym c…

If you are using just one wedge, what degree do you typically recommend?

Hello All,
I was thinking about going through some mental game training; Dr Greg Cartin has a program coming up that I was thinking about, which sounded interesting because it has exercises included to go through, but I thought I’d check in with the…

Hello All,
Please find my putting stroke below (shot in 240fps). The cup is six feet away from me in the video.

I've struggled in the past with setup (basically every setup error you could make) and too much knee and hip movement. These two errors…

Hey Tyler,
I just do some very basic practicing using Blast Motion. I will turn on the feedback for tempo, then take swings without the feedback, then go back and test using the feedback. So it’s nothing fancy/complicated, but it seems to …

That’s kind of what I was thinking; that’s what makes picking a putter so hard!

That’s what I had always heard as well. I was going to add some tempo training to my swing work.

I was just going to shoot for 3:1 and go for it (my tempo in my swing right now is pretty close to that already), unless there is a better re…

What is the ideal tempo for a full swing? Is there a different ideal tempo for wedge play?

Thank you,

Nick

For the Stock Tour Swing putting stroke, what would be the best putter to buy? I feel like there are a few different options to consider (see below).

Hosel Options:
Toe Hang
Face Balanced
Center Shafted

Head Type:
Mallet
Blade

Face Type:
Insert
M…

This is awesome! Looking at Charles’ swing and going through the process of what you worked on with him will be so cool. I’m really excited for this.
