Hey Tyler,
This thread got me thinking about a different way that amateur swings could be interesting.

I think it’d be very interesting to see case studies of tour students and their progression over time. Could even pair it with an interview with …

Hey Tyler,
I’d like to see Ernie Els.

Also, I think it would be really interesting to take a look at the most aesthetically pleasing golf swings (Els has it for me, but other guys like Fred Couples seem to rank high on others’ lists) and compare th…

Hello Tyler/All,
I've been trying to get my R-Motion metrics to line up with Trackman averages (dangerous on many levels I know, but play along with me).

I've noticed that my smash factor on my short irons is too high. I've been looking all over t…

Hello All,
I’ve primarily been practicing with my R Motion sensor, which allows me to play simulated rounds and get pretty accurate data on club path, face angle, swing speed and launch angle. It’s a dangerous proposition I know, but I’ve been tryin…

I try not to set too many so that I make sure to keep focus, but it ended up being quite a few.

Golf Goals:
- Shoot under 80 at least three times (had three rounds of 81 last summer, so I just need to get those last few strokes shaved off
- Beat a …

So I was able to get the range on a random warm day and film my swing. It looked like I was still struggling with a bit of a slide, after working to get rid of it for months.

Of course, I start looking for training aids to help! It seems like the o…

Hello All,
I’ve been recording my swing at 240fps on my IPhone, but have not found a program or figured out a way to edit that video and keep the frame rate for my swing submissions. Every time I edit a video, the program exports the video at 60fps …

Hey Tyler,
Thanks for taking a look! I don't think the finish position prevents from doing anything, but I think it is a little indicative of the early extension pattern and a path that is too in-to-out. I feel like the club comes around my…

I have two big items I don't like. I don't like my legs/hips on the downswing and my follow through.

Legs/Hips on Downswing:
Instead of my hips dropping back and down like many pros, mine kind of float across towards the target on the downswing, m…

I've been doing an ok job of following this advice. My problem now is that I do not have a real weakness that sticks out, at least according to the data I've collected via my Arccos golf app. My driving, irons and approach are all between a…

Thanks for the replies.

If you define “training aids” more broadly to be “golf improvement purchases”, what would the answer be?

This could include services like TPI screenings, physical therapist evaluations, personal training, lessons from a GSA…

Well, with Christmas time fast approaching, I was looking for advice on the best training aids or golf-related purchases (other than a Golf Smart Academy subscription which is already on my list of course).

Any good advice on the best purchases?

N…

Ed,
That's really interesting on the club data. I started with the R-Motion (which is compatible with the SkyTrak) that cost $200. R-Motion is just an attachment to the club, but I've found that it works very accurately for flight simulation. It's w…

Thanks Tyler and Ed,
I had been thinking that getting wedge practice would be the most valuable use for the skytrak. This is what I planned on using it for the most. I’m very excited to stand any distance away from the green 100 yards and in and fee…

Hello All,
I just purchased a skytrak and am looking for the best way to improve by using it.

Certainly the wedge matrix feature is a winner. I keep feeling like there is an opportunity to create a short game course in TGC that would be really help…
