Hi Scott,

Thanks for the comment. I do like to dig into the why and how of the body movements more than most. I'm glad when I hear that some golfers appreciate the depth! There are a couple things to comment on in your post. First, it's really har…

Hi Kevin,

That's a bit of a loaded question. If you want to post a video of your swing, I'll have a much better guess. There are a handful of reasons that golfers come over the top and what you feel depends mostly on what your pattern is now.

I t…

haha, good luck with the negotiations.

As far as your right issues, the forearms look somewhat better. So if we check your swing timeline, your club face isn't open at shaft parallel (p6). So that means the face is opening up between then and impa…

You got it! I have a number of videos on my list, so it'll probably take a few weeks, but stay tuned, I'll get to it!

Marc,
I've been meaning to do a video on hardpan lies for a while now. I'll get on it!

In general, you want to be a little shallower, move low point a little forward, and use a club that doesn't have the leading edge sitting too high off the ground…

Hi David,

Check out this video if you haven't already. https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/analysis-husky-golfers/

A lot of huskier golfers appear to control the swing more with their lead arm. I'd definitely try the single-arm rele…

If you still have a submission credit, then you can still submit your swing. But we stopped selling new credits at the beginning of 2020. If you don't have a submission credit, then post your swing to the "help my swing" section of the forum for som…

Hi Steven,

My view on the backswing is that fix it first if there are BIG issues, but if it's a little off, then it's more likely a downswing pattern causing the issue. I don't think the backswing is bad enough to "cause" the steep issue.

I see …

Making some progress with the impact position. If it's feeling a little steep on the course then check the delivery position that relates to impact. It looks like your upper body might be lunging a little past the ball early to help get shaft lean. …

Hey Ed,

Question 1 - The follow-through arm bend could be something to monitor. But keep in mind that its part of your overall pattern. Your clubface is in a pretty strong position, especially for how closed your chest is at the same point. And fr…

There are a couple of ways to approach the shank. From a skill standpoint, you are swinging the weight of the club too far away from you. Sometimes, all you need is a little block or tees in the way to recalibrate. Try these to improve the skill.

I use Hudl on my phone with my students, and I use Analyzr on my apple laptop when doing video analysis or showing swing examples. I like Analyzr. It does everything I need it too and it has a good enough search function that I can find the clips I …

I haven't seen a connection between a bowed wrist and back problems. Playing devil's advocate. Most pros are way more open than amateurs. If the argument that more rotation and side bend caused back problems, then very few amateurs should have back …

Here are a few images of the lead arm bend graph that I'll share with students. They show the common pattern and timing of the lead arm bending and straightening. The first one is an amateur, showing the arm bending through impact. The last three ar…

Here's an image taken from a program I'm working on for helping you guys analyze your own swing. And I added a version of your picture with some lines. Notice in my image, you can see some of my left arm and the right forearm is more in line with th…
