Hmm, That's not a common place for pain from the golf swing. So I would definitely want to investigate the foot function to see if there is some underlying imbalance or dysfunction driving the pain. In order to really stress the joints, you would ha…

Definitely a tough game! But that's one of the things that makes it great.

Glad you posted, being your own coach doesn't mean you have to do it alone! There is definitely a learning curve to knowing your own swing and what to look for when you pla…

You're welcome to send in any questions. I'd rather have students/members who are engaged and trying to get better. But I think one issue is many golfers try to find a fix before diagnosing a problem. So I wasn't trying to be difficult, but my stude…

Good find Bud. Typically, if there is a different contact pattern with the irons and with the driver, then we have to look at more specific differences. It's less likely just a purely mechanical issue. So starting with some skill calibration is a go…

The neck is part of the spine, so it should follow the motion of the spine. The most common time that I coach neck tilts is near impact and into the follow-through (head on a pillow video and idea). Having enough neck tilt can help with the side ben…

Yes Guy,

I think more important than the amount of movement of internal/external is the intention of the movement and how it would activate different shoulder and core muscle connections. The graphic did make it look like a lot more movement than …

Hi William,

Yes, a stronger grip and more body rotation can create stability of the face. The only issue with using it vs flexion/extension is that it can cause path or low point challenges and provide fewer options on shots around the green (espe…

Thanks Bud, I'm hoping someday they'll have a search program to make it easier to find all the content that might help you. But yes, this one is a key component for a lot of heel dominant strikers!

Just following up on the other thread. In that thread, you mentioned struggling with heel contact, but in this thread, you are indicating getting less toe contact. Is contact all over the place, or just very different contact patterns for your irons…

I think as a playable compliment, working on the top of the swing might be easier. But as you said earlier, as long as you avoid ulnar deviation, you'll have to deal with balancing the compensations. So I'll try a slightly different image, If you lo…

Glad to hear it's working better for the short irons.

Remember, the goal of this site is to help you learn to be your own coach so that you can make small changes and fix things on the course and save rounds from getting too far off course. So, as…

When I've talked to people who write the code for the systems, they all say shoulders and shoulder blade movements is really hard to measure. So no one has done a great job of presenting quality shoulder data. Also, for me, the purpose of understand…

Are you saying that most of your lag putts come up short?

I think that there are two things to look at with your speed control. 1 - you have some extra lower body rotation through impact. That adds a little extra and typically makes speed control m…

Happy to help when I can, Bud, I hope you're seeing some more consistency this week.

Hi Scott,

I think the advent of the ProV made it more possible to play a straight ball flight. The problem with the straight ball flight is usually the dispersion is more of a forked miss pattern. If the path is straight, if the face is open then …
