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…

I usually get to answer questions about once or twice a week, but it can vary with holidays and travel and such. Thanks for your patience.

Thanks for posting your swing.

A few things to consider.
If you wanted to get a little more compression on your irons, then you'll need to get a bit more body turn at impact. But, if you look at your delivery position, with lower level body turn, …

Sometimes, taking the game to the course is a battle. When describing implementing a swing change, Tiger said, "first I understand it, then it looks better, then it feels better, then it performs on the range, then it performs on the course, then it…

Yea, all that matters is that the visuals resonate with you and get you to make progress. I will say, that it could be helpful to imagine the changing axis instead of a fixed tilted axis. That way your image can include side bend and extension as we…

Hi Michael,

If I'm not sure where to start, then my normal order is to work on solid contact first. So I'd start by looking at low point control to help with the fat shots, thin shots, and shanks. Maybe you could post a video of your swing. Then w…

Hi Ryan,

Without seeing your swing, there will be some guessing. So if you want to get to the bottom of it, I'd suggest posting a video of face on and DTL. There are a few possibilities. You could be lacking in side bend. You could be staying flex…

Hi William,

I think your description and swing match that of a pull hook, caused by getting a little steep at the bottom. I think you could work on the top of the backswing, but it looks like when you got less flat in the backswing, it caused you …

It does look like you're trending in a good direction. Impact alignments are looking better.

If you keep the wrist angle longer into the downswing, then some good swings to look at for inspiration are Ryan Fox, or joaquin niemann. Also, I still th…

I think you have it nailed. It looks like a release issue with the common pattern of misses (high ball flight, left misses, contact issues). So, if I were you, I'd work on my release with 9-3's as the main practice focus.

In the attached DTL pictu…

Hi Robert,

The most common cause of the two-way miss is the "steep early/shallow late" downswing pattern. I have a video in the Build My Stock Swing Course that highlights this. (https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/courses/build-my-stock-swing/steep-…

Hi Marty,

I think it's quite common for golfers to develop a swing they think is "wrong". The motion isn't as intuitive as those in many other sports. I think there are a number of good components in your swing. You do a pretty good job of maintai…

Hi Ryan,

Yes, I think the driver highlights your tendency to get dominant with the arms. Here's a video on what I think helps create consistent driving. https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/analysis-video-driver-flat-spot/

That video…
