You might be referring to my neck bracing video, https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/neck-bracing/

It looks like you're doing it more with axis tilt of the hips rather than the upper thoracic spine and neck. One sign is that the trail…

Hi Joseph,

Yes, looks like you're making progress on both the early extension and the tilt back. Good job. The turtle shell is not the easiest to figure out on your own, but looks like that, combined with the impact window is helping you clean up …

Hi Patrick,

Sorry I missed this one. Heel contact primarily comes from the body moving into the golf ball or the arms widening the radius. Most golfers who struggle with toe contact pull the arms in (narrowing radius) and either stand up or hang b…

I haven't seen it, can you post a link?

Globally, looking much better. Especially right arm. There are a couple of related things that you could work on if you were searching:

Lead arm rotation through impact. This can be a tough one, but really helpful for anti left and flat spot mechan…

Hey Andrew,

Sorry for the delay, I missed this one come in.
Your swing is definitely looking better. You appear to have figured a few things out. When it comes to the pull draw, you want tot first check that it's not too steep in transition. Yours…

I think training a song on the piano is a great metaphor for training the golf swing. You focus on the difficult parts, but they you also have to do practice integrating it back into the song as a whole.

Great summary of those other swing systems. …

Hi Robert,

There is a difference bewteen steep and deep, but they are often related. Usually to identify the causes of too deep divots, I'd look at the face on video first, primarily for changes in height of the pelvis and upper body. If there's n…

Hi Matt,

I agree that your p6 position is more of an issue than the top. Backswing might have a little bit of a sway but nothing red flag worthy.

With the p6 position, You have a few moves complimenting each other. Your upper body has moved a goo…

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the description of what you experience with EE. And yes, if it's totally low point drive, it usually doesn't show up as much with the driver.

Looking at these short and slow-motion swings, I can see what you're noticing with y…

Hey Tim,

Thanks for the reminder. At the TPI Summit last fall, I talked with the owner about the product. It sounded interesting but it hadn't launched yet. I had kinda forgotten about it and your question reminded me to follow up with him. I will…

Zach,

It's hard to speak for why other coaches promote the patterns and explanations they do. Most never show their work on how they got to the conclusions they did, so we have to just take their advice at face value. On that note, I can't really …

Hi Joe,

Thanks for checking out the program. You have a pretty solid move and I think you have a pretty good assessment of your swing, but I can see why you might get caught with some early extension and release concerns. I wouldn't say that your …

Hi Zach,

Yes, looks less hooky. What did you figure out?

Happy Golfing,
Tyler

Hi Zach,

If you were to preserve some internal rotation, I think the main benefit would be having more range of movement to move into external rotation. The downside of going internal is that it could encourage scapular elevation and upward rotati…
