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. …

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 …

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 …

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…

These pictures show where you "cast" and release the energy of the arms too soon. You can see in the picture that there is very little movement of the hips/legs and most of the movement is happening because of the arms straightening.

Definitely improving on the early extension piece. Looks like the left will be fixed by getting the hands more forward but with a bit of ulnar deviation. Hands forward and up is a good thought. Both hands forward and hands up are a face opener. Hand…

Sounds like a plan. Good luck with the journey. Keep us posted on your progress!

Mauro,

To me it looks under powered from the lower body and core. So it probably fits more in the cast pattern rather than the scoop pattern. You don't appear to have the club pass the hands or the arms bend a lot on the way through. But it doesn't…

Hi Bill,

Once you know how to look at your swing on video, you can usually get in the ball park of swing path and direction. Not accurate enough to know the exact number, but at least the general trend. 10 degrees in to out is quite a bit in to ou…
