Hey Mark,

I am somewhat familiar with the program. I have done Guy Voyer's ELDOA training (I'm level 4 certified, in addition to a certified SOMA Trainer). And I've also spent time with both Dan Hellman and Janet Alexander who created the program …

Hi Rob,

A sweeping motion causing thin shots with the short irons sounds very plausible. I usually try to improve the contact by covering the ball better with the upper body (feeling more stacked over the lead foot). But if it's easier to add some…

Here's the version I like to do, I hope it helps!

Hi Mark,

Like you said, it's really tough to provide specific advice to an injury. One, I'm not a doctor so I can't diagnose anything. Two, in this specific issue, there's a handful of overlapping structures that can make it tricky to resolve a qu…

Great! I think we've got a good plan. Keep us posted on your progress or if you have any roadblocks you want to discuss as you work through it. Good luck!

I do think that the wrists look significantly better. Much more classic timing compared to your older move, which was more wristy and handsy like a baseball swing. The wrist tension is something you'll want to monitor for a while, but it should sett…

Hi Don,

Sorry for the delay, missed this one come in on Labor Day.

As far as the swing, the arm motion looks better coming into the ball. I agree with the idea of getting your hips a bit more forward at impact, but can see why you would lose you…

Hi Ron,

I don't think Jake checks this forum anymore, he moved on to doing his own thing a few years back. But I can tackle the question.

The arm extension and ulnar deviation can max out at different times, with the trail arm maxing out slightly…

Yes, it seems like you're on a good trajectory with this first lesson. Having a compliment of in person and self study can be a great way to approach learning your personal swing better. I really like the follow through here.

PS - yes, the legs str…

You're welcome. Good luck!

Video always helps with these discussions. It's helpful to be able to visualize your description. But yes, on paper, the shoulders not pulling, but the core rotating and side bending should be the cause of the low to high movement. That could be an …

Hi Don,

When posting the videos, it's helpful to trim them to just the swing, especially if doing a slow motion clip. Long slow motion clips can get really big size wise and our server has an upload limit. It's usually not a problem, but does get …

Hi Don,

I always prefer to see the swing, because it really helps clarify the description and illuminates what timing or movement issues happen first.

I haven't done a specific video on connecting those two, but it's a good idea, so I'll add it …

In general, if the pump drill is good and breaks down in the standard full swing, then I'm looking primarily at how you end your backswing or the sequence of transition. But in your case, since you provided some videos, I'd say one of the big differ…

It's definitely a puzzle. And sometimes it feels like the picture changes as you put more pieces together!

But it's mostly solvable and rewarding to work through.

The uppercut idea is a good one for you. I have a student with a similar baseball b…
