Thanks for the feedback.
Do the connector/stabilizer muscles, by stretching and contracting, help generate more speed - for the next body part - as the swing moves through the kinematic sequence?
Not sure if I said or asked that right, but I'm …

This may be a silly question...
To my untrained eye, in the kinematic sequence chart of an elite golfer (link to graph below), the pelvis, thorax, and arm are all slowing down in rotational speed before/at impact - it makes me wonder if the rotatio…

Thanks for the feedback, Tyler - The forearm release drills have taken me on quite a journey to also clean up and incrementally improve a number of things - takeaway, pivot, arm shallowing, more body rotation, sequencing/timing of release.
Not sur…

After my lesson with Tyler in late Jan, I have been working on more forearm release, less with the shoulder. Ball flight is a nice tight draw unless I lose focus and activate the trail shoulder - then it's a big hook. Here are two videos of the pro…

Tyler,
Are the muscles Gary player uses to demonstrate his famous two finger test (holding up two clubs) at all important for swinging a golf club?
One of the random things I find myself wondering...

Paul - thanks for sharing the link to the podcast.
What's interesting is whenever I watch Bryson swing side by side with Kyle Berkshire, it is Kyle's swing that looks so much more fluid to me.

Tyler, thanks for clearing that up. If we're maintaining that spine angle and using the obliques properly, and the ball is starting to leak to the right, Is more left wrist bow and left forearm supination the only remaining way to close the face?

Have been trying to drill early extension out of my stock swing with “beat the drum” and other drills, with the tiniest of visible progress. (Although ball flight, distance, and dispersion are better).
Question on path: assuming more torso rotation…

"For most, the speed gains are incremental compared to the consistency loss when the sequence gets disrupted. I think this is why there are more good stories of either elite golfers, or beginner golfers doing well with speed training. That middle ha…

I'm trying to simulate on-course scenarios where I might need to aim way left or way right off the tee to cut off a dog-leg.
I find it challenging to set up at these angles (or any angle that isn't straight on) and execute the shot I want to hit, …

Nick - your dedication to your goals this year is admirable.
As for my own golf goal this year, it was to play two rounds with better than -1.5 strokes gained off the tee with driver. Well, I just played my 3rd round of golf this year (I know, su…

I've been working to eliminate early extension late in the downswing with driver. (getting back to the pre-covid plan)
We had determined I was early extending late because my arms were steep, so I have been working on arm shallowing in transition (…

Tyler,
How should we think about F = MA applied to the golf swing, if at all?
This MyTPI video by Dr. Greg Rose on Rory McIlroy is of particular interest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9b7gHV2OtI
With more (muscle) mass, and the body acceler…
