Following the video, the description is correct. The wipe helps you get the arms ahead of the ball. In practice, your demonstration has too much movement of your head toward the target. It's spine extension that will stop this, I'll film a video abo…

Hi Dave,

I think your inside takeaway is more of result of the body pivot, but perhaps could have a little bit of shoulder lift as well. Let's look at the body pivot.

If you compare the alignment stick drill with your default takeaway, you'll see…

Hi Mark,

In general, I like the rope training and speed concepts taught in Mach 3. I have a few videos that I think align with the "speed up and in front" idea.

Glad you have some time to work on your game. It can be a rewarding journey.

In analyzing your swing, I'd saw you have more of a late cast or release issue more than a power source/early cast. See the face on video. You don't really cast during th…

Hi Steve,

I think you have a good diagnosis of the situation. The arms are steep and the body is on the shallower side. Since you have the hack motion, I'd take a look to see if you are getting some extra wrist extension in transition. You have a …

Hi Tom,

Sorry for the delay, really busy start to my year, but slowly getting caught up again.

I'll start with the low point line, I think the arms are pulling in too much through impact. If we look at your impact position from the face on, it's…

When looking at it from a, "i hate the hook" perspective, there are a couple things to look at.

The hands have a little radial deviation which is pro hook if it happens too early. A longer arc width is anti-hook in general. Also, the clubface is n…

I often cycle back and forth as well. I think that's a natural part of golf training.

One of the challenges with late nite practice is that the shaft/hands/club can be hard to read. But it looks a little steeper and hands a little less deep, that …

Hi Garret,

I think the late early extension is related to your arms feeling stuck. With the body extending that much through the ball, the arms don't have a lot of room to get in front of the body. The shallow late movement is one of the most comm…

Here are two examples: Scottie, with the arm staying around the same height compared to the ribcage, absorbing the speed with the shoulder blade muscles and Tyrell with more of a lead arm extension/pull pattern, absorbing the speed more with the bic…

Yes, early extension and slide could feel like turning but prevent you from actually turning.

Here's an example of a golfer who has the arms back at delivery position, by doing the trevino drill/side saddle drill, he was able to feel more turn ear…

Hi Mark,

What Dr. Kwon refers to as reverse pivot posture at the top is not the same as what TPI calls reverse spine angle. His reverse hip posture seems to focus on better loading of the glutes at the top. When you move the hips toward the target…

Hi Patrick,

That might be true, but typically ulnar deviation creates more heel contact and helps fix golfers who excessively hit it on the toe. So, your wrist motion is more toe biased. And your body motion is more heel biased. You might end up a…

Happy New Year!

Yes, the arm structure is looking more, structured. I think it's on a good path. You might have to make sure that you're not sliding your left hip too far forward to fake the arm structure, but overall it's looking cleaner on the w…

Hi Patrick,

I think it's important to relate your feelings and focus to the outcome. So I'd start by looking at the major pieces related to heel contact. Are you moving down and in to the ball, or are your hands getting much further out than where …
