Hi Trent,

Posting your putting videos is definitely encouraged. It's not popular, but it's as much fun to work through as the full swing.

As far as your move, there are two things going on. What's causing the move? Should you fix it?

What's caus…

Hey Bud,

I think that's a good choice. So looking at your wedge swing, it looks like the arms get behind you and the release is overly up in the exit. Meaning, you have too much lift of the arms and not enough body rotation on the way through.

He…

One phrase I use a bunch, "you can't have different results with the same video". Sometimes it's hard to see the quality of the changes on video, but if you are getting different results, then something has changed, at least slightly.

The club hea…

I think one key point where I differ is that I don't believe that what we feel always matches reality. What you feel depends on what you are doing as it compares to the model (https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/comparing-your-pattern-…

Hi Jane,

Thank you. Yes, I got married about 6 weeks ago and enjoying the new chapter. New things to work on, but enjoying it all nonetheless.

Great question. I've had a "going to the range worksheet" on my project list for quite some time. But u…

Hi Bud,

Thanks for sharing your swing, there's a lot in there to unpack. I am a big fan of getting clear on goals. You can work on your swing, you can work on shot ability, you can work on scoring, but those aren't always the same. So I'm a little…

With the finesse wedge, I don't like to see a lot (or hardly any) lengthening of the arms through impact. So if they are straight, they stay straight and if they are bent, they stay bent. So yes, it is a spectrum from the driver (max extending) to t…

Hi Dan,

I agree that the shaft extender is the best. Let's look at why. See the attached pictures.

In your swing, it looks like you have a pretty strong pull of the left arm inward and the hands give the appearance of flipping. I'm guessing if we…

Yes, sounds like you're likely on the right track.

Often times that arm pull move is tied to power, so when you swing full it will be more likely to creep back in. At least initially. Keep ramping up the shorter swings in terms of length and aggre…

Connecting the ulnar deviation and the wipe can be tricky. Here's a little video I did answering another question during the pandemic.

Hi Andrew,

The first time posting your swing is always the scariest.

I think you're on the right track with the body stuff you're working on. I think you'll want to complement some arm training to help make it easier. Specifically, it looks like …

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the congratulations. It's been a wonderful, busy, couple of months so far!

Looking at your swing, it looks like hip rise in transition is part of the arm pull pattern. Your arm pull pattern looks more likely driven by the l…

Hi Rasmus,

I'd say yes to all those adjustments. They will all help move the low point forward and control depth. I don't often recommend getting more open since it causes a lot of golfers to they shallow out their body too much. But the rest of th…

Hi Scott,

Yes, it's common to feel that the motorcycle is done earlier with the longer clubs. I'd hope that your brain figures it out, but you can give it a quick look on video if you're having any doubts about the timing.

That's awesome about the…

Hi Rasmus,

1. Getting the AOA lower will help with the launch as well as getting a little less shaft lean. So yes, a common reaction is feeling that you're picking the ball compared to your normal stock swing.

For some golfers, swinging a little m…
