Hi Zach,

Good update. I like the analogy of healing a broken bone. Some golf swing issues can be healed quicker (like if you have a slice from an open club face and you learn about the motorcycle) but many issues take learning a few pieces. Your s…

Hey Andrew,

Good summary there. I think the wipe, and your arm rotation patterns reveal the biggest source of your inconsistency.

New problems can mean you're on the right track. The shanks can happen when working on the wipe because it moves th…

Hi David,

I think I understand your question, but here are a few videos I've done on the topic. Let me know if these clear it up, if not, I can take another crack at it.

Sorry, was traveling out of the country and the clips were too big to download with their wifi.

The lead arm pull and the trail arm throw often go together and make the diagnosis harder to pin down. Usually I work on both and one emerges as the ma…

1. See answer to question 2, there could be a few reasons, but my guess is that it's the trial arm.
2. During the release, it appears that you lose the trail arm extension and ulnar deviation and don't get into that good stop sign look. I'd recommend tes…

Hi Ishollands,

I think there is more variety on the takeaway than there is on the downswing, so I'd strive for a good downswing pattern first. There are three things to monitor with your stroke, how it looks (including the data), how it feels, and …

Hi Ed,

Sounds like a plan.

I would probably work on the follow-through/release trying to get better extension through the ball with less of the shoulders spinning open through the release. I'd use one of these three benchmarks as my goal. Either…

It looks like the turtle shell idea is doing better. It helps improve your early extension.

Regarding your questions. 1, I haven't heard the release timing change too often. But Jack Nicklaus did say that you can't release it too soon as long as y…

Hi John,

Welcome to the site! You have a good-looking move for only playing less than a year. But yes, as a former tennis player, I can relate to how much harder golf is compared to tennis. The difference between your good days and bad days in golf…

Hi Stan,
Tyler here. Jake doesn't answer these posts anymore. He's blown up and does his own thing on Instagram. There should be a lot of overlap with the principles you learned from S&T. I have a lot of drills to help learn through experience. Thes…

Jeremy,

Yes, the lower reps will help, but the most important key is making sure that you're doing the motion more from the hips and rib cage while the abs stay active. I know you did some rehab there, so hopefully you're better at keeping your ab…

No sport is a perfect parallel to the golf swing, but baseball has some common challenges that don't translate. Looking at baseball impact is like looking at a perfect recipe for a face-open chunk shank.

Same thing in your picture, low point, and …

Jake doesn't really check these posts anymore, but I'll add my two cents.

For the takeaway, I like the analogy of pushing a shopping cart. When you push the shopping cart, you use your legs/feet, your core, and your arms in concert. What you feel …

I like that trail arm connection drill for you. It should help you get some new feels for that right side!

Thank you, it's fun to have a community of like-minded golf nerds 🙏
