Hi John,

I think what you're noticing is the femur getting pulled by the pelvis the pelvis rotates. On average, the hip has approximately 45 degrees external rotation. If the hips are open 45 degrees (or more) at impact, then the hip will have to …

Great feedback! It sounds like you've narrowed it down to top of backswing with speed. You can use video to monitor what changes when you go harder (does the arm get more behind at the top in preparing to use speed, or does it fall behind as you sta…

Hi Dave,

Welcome to the site! I'm glad you're working through the program, I think you keyed in on one of your big core movements. See the photos, your arm gets behind at the top. I'd be curious to see if that's consistent on all length swings or …

I often get asked my opinion on such things as drills, teaching ideas, and in this thread, training aids. I would put it in the same category as things like the power wedge (anti sway foot trainer) or swing guide (wrist hinge trainer). It's not a ba…

It's not just armsy vs handsy, the shirt restricts arm rotation (shallowing). So it can help you stay connected, but it can also block some of the things that make a connected swing work. So you have to be really careful with that kind of device. Wh…

We had a swing shirt at the club I worked at in Houston. I wasn't a huge fan. I'm sure it can help some people, but it seemed like it prevented a lot of the good arm movements in exchange for keeping the arms close together. I prefer holding somethi…

video for your station for inside practice.

Yes, I think that specific look would have a negligible impact. It might help or restrict hip turn in the backswing, but the change would be to allow for better use of the trail side, not what's happening at the lead hip.

Hi Tim,

I think the pictures here are the most telling. The body pivot pattern appears to be more of a back extension pattern. You mentioned not being able to feel the power source. The different power source is using your abs, like a crunch, vs us…

Hey Ed,

The simple answer is that lead hip flexibility is the biggest key. In Rory's case, he's rotating his lead hip externally in the backswing more than Bubba or Matt Wolff. It could be a result of loading a different sling, or just a feeling of…

Hi Tim,

Welcome to the site. Thanks for posting your swing. The videos are okay, but you'll see that they are pretty blurry, so perhaps look at the mode that you are using. Some phones have a slow motion option, but it depends what you are working …

Sounds good. And don't worry about missing the feel difference, that's why we're here. A second set of eyes sometimes makes the obvious actually obvious. Good luck!

The places I see room for improvement speed-wise.

Step 1: Zapping a yardage and choosing a stock shot should take less than 20 seconds. Unless you are a low handicap, you probably want to be hitting the closest stock comfortable shot as much as po…

Hey Golfers,

I had the following question come in...

"I have ADHD which makes it a fine line between getting myself to focus adequately enough and overdoing it which then I’m not allowing the subconscious to let it take over. I know my current ro…

I think the really important part of this discussion is looking at feel vs real. Chris Como and Trevor both said numerous times that this is what they wanted to feel, not what they wanted to do. If power is a goal, then you wouldn't want to extend t…
