The move is going. Definitely still dealing with boxes everywhere, and not knowing exactly where everything is. But it's all in the new house and out of the old one. So progress. Thanks for asking!

As far as the bad round/bad practice. It's hard to…

Glad you had a good week of practice. I think you're in the right ball park with the head on a pillow/merry-go-round combination.

When I look at your swing, I see more of a shoulder rotation issue than I see a pure early extension issue. The early…

Hi Zach,

I'll try to answer these in reverse order:

Yes, The antidote to pulling down is leaving the arms up...or powering the swing more from the legs and core, and less from the shoulders. With the lead arm only single arm, the latest videos lo…

Looks like the ball flies to the right more from the face than from the path. It looks like you'll need a little earlier, or more, motorcycle movement to compliment the shoulder movement. The path looks better, looks a LOT less likely to hook :)

If…

Hi Zach,

Thanks for doing the one-arm swings. You can see how different the body position is at impact for the left and right arm. The left arm needs more body rotation and a little less slide. Especially to match your strongish lead hand grip. Bu…

Hey Zach,

I'm enjoying the swings and descriptions. Keep grinding at it. The goal is to get to a place where you don't need an extensive warm-up to have decent ball-striking. Let's see if we can figure out the keys.

I do think there's something t…

Hey Mark,

I think many other golfers will relate to your story. I think every golfer has periods when they want to quit. If you google, "professional golfers who almost quit", you'll get a bunch of examples.

I think when the times are rough, the…

Hi Zach,

Thanks for the post. It sounds like you have a good diagnosis on the hook issue; Triangular divot, high right shoulder, and a stall/flip. So the next step is picking the element or two that will have the biggest impact. The stills help, b…

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…
