Thanks for clearing that up.

Btw - I think that Korean YouTube channel is great! If you plan to post more swing analysis videos, would love to hear your take on lpga players with amazing swings like Ariya, sung hyun park, Anne van dam, Brooke Hende…

Hi Jake - I use Decade and agree with you.

Using an analogy, to me Decade feels like the equivalent of an idiot-proof playbook on poker strategy. It lays out all the odds and gives you the high percentage play every time (fold, call, rais…

The longest hitters on the PGA Tour are fascinating to me. But this season, both Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson had offseason surgery to repair partially torn ligaments or tendons in their left knee.

Contrast that to Bubba Watson, who to my know…

Nick,

I purchased the Game Improvement Package for Skytrak.

For about 6 months, I completed the skills assessment, bag mapping, and closest to the pin challenges bi-weekly.

I would set it to 3 balls per club, and with a 7 iron, the results woul…

Nick I have owned a SkyTrak for two years.

I mainly use it to figure out carry distances hitting into a net at home. That way I can use my game ball.

The skills challenges were fun but as a 10 handicap I wasn’t improving by doing it more.

I reali…

I’m curious if you could expand on how he has seen decade introduce more doubt/indecision in elite players?

+Tyler F Thanks for clearing that up with a graph.

Out of curiosity, if there were no ball & tee, would you expect to see peak speed occur just past the point of where impact would normally be?

I just watched the video on Alpha Torque. If I understood the video correctly, I can't help but wonder if the 9 o'clock position in the downswing is where the clubhead is traveling the fastest?

I would think 3D could pick this up, but a simple Inte…

This is a really interesting question...here are my two cents:

• 300 yards: average PGA Tour driving distance
• 9,000 yards: "new" PGA Tour course length
• 30 ratio *

If a PGA Tour course is 7,200 yards (avg. 400 yards per hole), a 9,000 ya…

Here are my numbers:

Average Drive: 245 yards
Course Length: 6300-6500 yards
Ratio: 25.7 - 26.5

Hi,

I was hoping to better understand if & how early extension is a power leak?

• Is early extension a power leak because it leads to less consistency of strike, less optimal impact & launch conditions, or does it actually slow down body …

These days, I see lots of golf swing videos & instructors talking about "squat and rotate" to generate more clubhead speed with the driver.

One example with a decent 'before & after' is this video (between minutes 17:55 to 20:00):

https:…

The 3 things that stand out to my untrained eye:

(1) Impact: it looks like his body has really driven the swing, with the club trailing behind, his hips and chest opened nicely
(2) 3 o'clock position looks sweet: arms fully extended, his hands rele…

Chris, Tyler,

Thanks for sharing those insights!

Is there sufficient data to explain what enables a player to swing a club 95 mph vs. 105 mph vs. 115 mph? (assuming proper swing fundamentals taught by GSA are applied as a control)

Are there measurable differences in:
- How much more ground force…
