Yeah, I have weird ways of visualizing things I guess. When I think of the golf swing I think of everything from a bird's eye view above myself. I drew a little picture of how I visualize myself in the swing with the clock cardinal directions. So wh…

Ok, I think I'm finally on to something (take number 318). Disclaimer, I know I have an absolute ton of wrist over-set which comes with the territory of wrist hyper-mobility. I think this fix will be years in the making, but I will keep working on i…

So another question on a feel I've been toying with for a while for transition. In one of your videos on ulnar deviation, you compared the swing to a tennis top-spin forehand, and another video with a horizontal baseball-esque swing in Horizontal Sw…

I think I'm on to a new feeling (god, you must be tired of hearing that day in day out) that I think is going to help some of the roots of my problems. I think I had some of my sequencing off and started my vertical components far too late. Previous…

Ok so here's a question. I keep going back to working on getting proper unhinge to maintain arc width as I don't think I've ever really been able to fully ingrain that. Watching "Connecting Unhinge to Body Rotation" and "Unhinge Then Supinate" I und…

Is this a little more in the direction with less rounded ribs/shoulders? I'm trying to rotate a little longer here, and get a little more right tilt from the pelvis and not all from the thoracic spine. The feel is trying to have a passiveish right h…

I wish I was fully out of the woods, structurally my right knee is fine (meniscectomy), but I've got some kneecap tracking issues that continue to dog me and limit my physical therapy and golf practice.

I watched your recent Pin the Lead Shoulder …

Well I'm back after recovering (mostly) from a minor knee surgery and these brutal Chicago winters. Been tough getting back into the feel of things, but I think I've made some progress lately again. Looking back a lot of my videos, I noticed that I …

I think I've finally understood high hands from your video "Hands Forward Up and Out" in today's practice session. It's almost like I'm raising my left arm (in relation to my chest) when my hands pass the ball and into impact, which is the exact opp…

So I've been working on nothing but the release and ulnar for the last week and a half and I think I've made another realization. One of your videos on supination mentioned that the supination right before impact was caused by the extension of the a…

Whew, this has been tough to figure out, but I definitely feel like I'm on the right track. Your new video today was pretty timely, as that's sort of what I've been working on. I've really been trying to use the vertical of the lead shoulder to pull…

Thanks, Tyler! Going over what you've been saying about the release and the relation of the vertical and lack of shoulder lift, I realized that I've really just been faking a lot of this until now. As I am now trying to understand it, the vertical c…

Well I'm back after a break due to some overtraining related injuries. As I revisited the Block the Trail Arm Throw I think I realized something about my swing. In an effort to maintain width, I've realized that I've always kept that lead shoulder i…

So follow-up question, working through this I think I realized that lead shoulder blade retraction has been one of my subconscious big power moves, which explains my perpetual steepness. In the video I posted earlier, it really felt weak, like I had…

I noticed in my videos working on this I often had my lead arm disappearing behind my trail shoulder, and just generally coming across the ball a lot, which got me thinking I've been spinning my shoulders too early. So I went back and really tried k…
