Re: Where should I start

  By: Tyler F on May 31, 2022, 11:04 a.m.

Hi Scott,

Welcome to the site! You started at the right place by posting your swing. You'll learn how to be your own best golf coach by learning how to analyze your video and relate the video to your stats/performance.

I'd start with impact, if yo…

Hi William,

Welcome to the site, glad you're learning so much so quickly!

On to your issue. Typically, the big causes of toe shots are:
Standing up/pulling away from the ball
Tilting back too much
Arms pulling in
Outside in path

Looking at the pi…

Re: driver should be more efficient - farther?

  By: Tyler F on May 19, 2022, 9 a.m.

Here's a quick little video. I just have a pool noodle or alignment stick in line with the golf ball so that I can see where my hands need to be at impact. Could help with the timing of the release.

I can take a picture tomorrow, but basically a pool noodle in line with the golf ball to help give you a visual of where the hands need to be at contact. Right now, you'd pass the pool noodle well before impact.

A good visual checkpoint for the Moe Norman move is the space between the left bicep and ribs. You can see how your shoulder is pulling around behind you more so than the two Johnsons swings at the same point. I think the x-factor feeling you descri…

Hi Jim,

One issue that would be helpful to rule out is your camera angle. The camera angle on the video you shot is close to the ground and closer to the foot line than the hand line. Both of those will make things look steeper than it really is. …

Re: driver should be more efficient - farther?

Hi Andrej,

The three main influences for distance are ball speed, launch angle, spin rate. That first picture shows a lot of shaft lean for a driver. You'll want to have the shaft more vertical at impact (more similar to the picture of Rory). With …

Re: Can’t seem to fix my stall/flip

  By: Tyler F on May 1, 2022, 8:20 p.m.

Keeping the right elbow in front of the chest is part of it, but you also need to get the right shoulder to get through the ball. You'll see in this little video how your right shoulder stays back during the whole release, where Tommy Fleetwood (and…

That's one way someone could describe the wipe. So yes, I'd say that's not a bad feeling to investigate. Although, it could also mean that you're providing too much of the hit from the arm motion instead of the core/obliques. So the feel depends.

K…

Re: Left hip issue

  By: Tyler F on April 25, 2022, 9:09 a.m.

Yes, it looks like the hip is fairly tight. So you're hitting end range sooner than most, which puts more stress on the glute muscles. You can get them stronger and work to improve the range of motion of the hip. You could also turn the lead foot ou…

Re: Big Pushes w/ Driver

  By: Tyler F on April 24, 2022, 9:17 p.m.

In the little video, you can see the club face more closed in the iron shot compared to the driver. But if you look at the driver, you have so much shaft lean that if you did close the face, you'd have almost no loft. So you're stuck a bit

Also, it…

Hi Alan,

Welcome to the program. Glad you're enjoying it!

It would be easier to make a guess if you posted a face on video of your swing. You mentioned one in your post, but it looks like it might not have been uploaded. Post it here and we'll hav…

Re: Shaft lean

  By: Tyler F on April 24, 2022, 8:41 p.m.

I think this is a pretty solid stock move. But if you were going to try and get more shaft lean, you'd want to work on the lead shoulder blade pull through impact. If you watch the little clip, you'll see during this phase the lead arm pulls back an…

Re: Trail arm with wedges

  By: Tyler F on April 24, 2022, 8:34 p.m.

Hi Alan,

With the distance wedge, it's hard to make a backswing higher than belly button height without having any trail arm bend. To handle that extra arm bend in the backswing, most golfers will straighten the arm early in the downswing as part …

Re: Swing Plane "over the top" AND Club Path "in to out"???

  By: Tyler F on April 24, 2022, 10:53 a.m.

Thanks for posting the video. I sympathize with the confusion. I'm trying to help reconcile the numbers. I can't quite tell if the camera is off (because of the matt orientation and the black target behind the net). it appears at first that the came…
