Hi AG,

Welcome to the site!

Perhaps you can tell us a little about your game. Which areas are your strengths and which areas you're trying to improve? There are a couple of things that you could focus on in your swing, so I think prioritizing depe…

I would definitely consider armpit rope swings a pivot drill (and a really good one at that). And it sounds like you're using it well as a reset drill.

To your second point, the lead arm only swing is a good pivot drill as well. It really challenge…

Well, the good news is that from a GIR perspective, you're on par with your handicap. So there's no reason you shouldn't be working to improve that as well. It would have been a really bad sign if you were more around the 10 GIR as an average. You s…

Yes, the core and the hips have a really strong direct link. If this is the picture we're trying to influence, then using the obliques, getting more of a crunch and less of a back thrust will give you a chance to have more of the external look. It w…

That's great you keep some stats. What about the GIRs? Better than 9 per round?

So far we can see that from a scoring perspective, you've got some room with your putting. Your putting stats are at about a 10-15 HCP level. Which would take some pret…

Some good information there. If your goal is score, then it's pretty obvious where you can gain the most stroke drop. Putting for scratch golf is an average of about 31 putts, can be lower if you're not hitting a lot of greens. See the stat screensh…

Hi Reece,

Thanks for posting your swing. It's not always the easiest pattern to change, but it's definitely doable. I have a video filmed that is currently going through editing where I think I do a better job of connecting the ab/core action to t…

Hi Paul,

Deciding what to work on with your golf game can be tricky. But as Paul Azinger once said, "you're only one swing away from finding magic". So keep grinding.

Looking at your swing, there are a couple of areas that could tighten up, but …

Every player has a grip drift tendency. Some drift stronger or weaker. Some drift more trail hand and some more lead. It's always helpful to know your tendencies and keep an eye out for them when the game is a little off.

Yes, if you like you're g…

Hi Gene,

I agree that your hands are quite far ahead at impact. You'd have a hard time getting any height unless you have a LOT of speed. DTL could help this discussion, but I'll take a crack at it.

I think you have a pretty solid swing, but a co…

Hi Ben,

Categorizing golf swings is a challenge. On some level, it's natural to see that each golf swing is different and there are patterns that we tend to see show up together. But on the data side, the distinctions are usually less clear. On th…

Yes, I think that starting with impact, and the impact fix, is a good way to start your journey for getting your hips more open. Looking forward to seeing the progress as you post.

We don't have data on the shoulder blades, so the exact timing is tricky at best. I think if you look from down the target line, you can get a good sense of what the shoulder blades are doing. If the lead shoulder pulls, then that adds a steep. so g…

Thanks for posting your swing. It helps discuss what to work on. I always try to approach the path of improvement based on your specific tendencies. I know that topping your fairway woods is one of the potential issues to try and resolve. If we look…

I definitely think that arm position is better. Like you mentioned, check to make sure that you're not cheating with too much tilt, but I don't think you are based on that video. I could be wrong, but it looks like an improved pivot. Your rotation a…
