Feeling powerful in a 9 to 3 is definitely a learned skill for most. One thing that might help would be trying a swing holding a ball, balloon, or buck in between your arms. It would help you feel a little more arm connection which would make you fe…

It looks like it's trending in the right direction (especially the down too long portion), but I'd still like to get a better 10 position. I think a feel that might help your lead arm is feeling like the arms are squeezing together during impact and…

Good question. I'll ask around this week and I'll collect a few swings with my own bunker game.

But I think one of the important pieces of information is that more extension causes you to skull them. That tells me that your body position is likely…

Here's a graph of Grant Waite's trail arm. You'll see in transition that the blue line is decreasing during the first part of transition. When the blue line is moving negative, the arm is pronating. So there is some truth to the idea of starting the…

Hi Doug,

I like your attempt to put together a plan. Let me try to help with the diagnosis.

To me, it looks like in the full-swing version you go into more early extension than weight shift when you try the Jackson 5. It might be easier to see t…

Morning Zach, Happy one-year anniversary. Your swing has definitely come a long way technically. Kudos for putting in the work!

For the 2 o'clock position, I think there are a few keys. To me, it's the end of the bracing feel. When I'm really hitti…

Maybe it's a friction thing and we have to change the spikes :D

Kidding, yes, seems like a sequencing issue, step change of direction, pelvic punch, transition pump, band resisted sequence training, torso burner, and rope or towel swings would be s…

Hi Douglas, welcome to the system/site. Hopefully, we can help you on your journey.

I always think what you should focus on should relate to your biggest issue. With any one swing, there's usually a few things that you could work on, that all coul…

I think so too. I'd experiment with trying to get the left arm higher, shoulder or elbow more elevated to neck/upper chest height instead of the arm feeling really down by the side. That might help with getting the hands even more ahead. But good jo…

His question as "if there were no ball or tee" so no resistance, then where would be maximum speed. I haven't seen any research on this, but my guess is that it would be when all the joint segments have maxed out, i.e. maximum arc width. At least th…

I don't know if height would strongly correlate to ulnar deviation. Here are two examples of tall golfes who tend to get nearly full ulnar deviation (high hands). It's usually something related to the feeling of the arms being higher or the swing fe…

Push ball is looking pretty good. Are you able to match the positions with a 9 to 3? If not, that's the next step. Keep it up!

Hi Matt,

Haha, it's hard to do a true 9 to 3 for many golf swing styles.

Watching your 9 to 3 swings, it looks like the impact position is similar to the full swing. So I'd start with release training and getting more comfortable with a better im…

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for sharing your story! Golf is more fun when there is less doubt and uncertainty. It's still hard to make a good swing everytime, but it's more fun knowing what you did wrong and having a plan to fix it!

Good luck with the of…

Hi Matt,

I'm careful when I say that anything in the backswing causes something in the downswing. To me, the downswing is influenced by the backswing, but not a direct cause. The way I tease it out is by doing shorter swings. Can you post a 9 to 3 …
