Hi Scott,

Sorry for missing it the first time. It looks to me like the early extension is heavily influenced by your weight at set up. Check out these two pictures. It looks like with your set up, you're upper body is too much over your heels and …

Hi Mike,

We all need a second set of eyes from time to time. From your description, I think I would prioritize the release. If we look at your impact position and work backward I think you'll find the path to improvement. Your impact position coul…

Hi Bernard,
With the short game, it's important to have a standard technique, but if you want to reach an elite level, you also have to be able to adjust it for a variety of situations. But as far as your stock baseline shot, I like the first pictur…

I agree that learning golf is an iterative process. You can't master anything the first round you try it.

I think the shoulders do switch polarity at some point. But I'm not sure if it's an active switch or triggered by the pull of the club. My gu…

The lead arm looks really good. It could use a little more body rotation, but it's overall it's very good. I would use that to help train the trail hand. I'd pause the left hand swings at different places, then put the right hand on to see how it fe…

Sounds like some good discoveries there. I think the feeling of the lead arm controlling low point and moving more out through impact will help your release. As long as the body is turning early enough, then it won't actually be going out through im…

Yes the motorcycle and the unhinging overlap in timing. I think feeling them as one motion can be helpful for many golfers. Also, feeling more of the motion from the pinky side of the hand is preferred to feeling it from the thumb side. One of the c…

The pivot change does seem to help the overall look of that trail shoulder throw. It still looks a little stalled sequence wise, but the position is much less hooky.

If you're going after the grip, here's the check point. Look at shaft parallel in…

I like to think of the Stock Tour Swing as more of a framework for understanding the golf swing. So S&T easily fits within the pieces I mention here. They have a hierarchy of contact, direction, distance as well as some basic influences like a c…

There are a few things here.
1. A golfer wants to utilize as much of their body for power as possible, but often overusing one area limits the ability to use another. So we don't mind pulling with the arms as long as it's not so great of a pull that…

Great, keep us posted!

Catching up.

With the question, "is this proper bracing?" See the first picture, you're upper body is behind the lower body, which could have low point issues or still have more hook tendencies. Perhaps the two-bucket station could help your axis …

Hey Gene,

Yes, I'd say that the weight shift in the 9-3 can be a barrier for some. I think it's best to either preset the weight at the start or make the backswing slightly more leftward-biased than normal. Personally, I set the weight a little mo…

Hi Garrett,

Thanks for the videos. They help.

With the driver, I think the early extension and trail arm being fully straight at impact is the big cause of the hook pattern. You can see in the first picture, compared to the spine angle I drew at…

Hi Alfred,

There are some good pieces, but I can see where you might be struggling a little bit. As you indicated, in the supination video you posted secondly, there's actually a good amount of shaft lean, especially considering how square your hi…
