Re: Lead Leg During Backswing

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…

Speeding Up Your Preshot Routine

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…

Re: Como axe drill and AMG

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…

Hi Gantry,

We are still working on the functionality to integrate it into the site. I can't wait to get the programs out soon so I can start working on the next programs! Since it's taken a little longer than I hoped, I want to be conservative with…

Re: lead arm swing

Not a bad move there either! Definitely some issues to work out with your pivot if you go left-handed. But you have a pretty solid release pattern there!

It looks like you have something to figure out this winter. Let us know what the PT has to say…

Hi Ed,

The 10-2 does look better, look at the comparison at impact. The biggest issue is that with the pump drill, you get the abs engaged early and keep them working, with the full swing, it looks like they are getting involved later, but the mome…

Hey Dan,

That's a pretty good-looking move for a lead arm-only swing. There are always things that can be cleaned up, but the general pieces are there pretty well. Usually, the hardest thing with the lead arm-only swing is getting the trail side ab…

Hi Sarah,

Welcome to the journey! We are finishing up a couple of programs that I think will be exactly what you're looking for. Keep an eye posted for those soon. In the meantime, check out the beginner program playlist here https://www.golfsmarta…

Here's a quick video answer. Also, check out this video I did on the nicklaus comment.
