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…

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 …
