Re: Speeding Up Your Preshot Routine

  By: Tyler F on Sept. 29, 2021, 7:06 a.m.

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

  By: Tyler F on Sept. 29, 2021, 6:57 a.m.

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

  By: Tyler F on Sept. 27, 2021, 10:26 a.m.

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.

Fixed, thanks for letting me know which videos were lost last year.

Videos should be back up now. Let me know if you find any others that are missing!

Re: Early extension for power and face??

  By: Tyler F on Aug. 17, 2021, 9:12 p.m.

If it were me, I'd say the early extension is minor. The camera moves around a bit, but the change in location of the head and pelvis seem to be slight. To me, the bigger cause of inconsistency is the arm motions through impact. The follow through p…

Re: New drills

  By: Tyler F on Aug. 8, 2021, 10:17 a.m.

Regarding the two pictures.

Follow through picture - I would try to get the left arm straighter with less rotation That would help prevent the hooks but require some more body contribution for power. Keeping that arm straight and less lead shoulde…

Re: New drills

  By: Tyler F on Aug. 3, 2021, 8:29 p.m.

Before starting with the flaw, I would probably start with the main ball flight issue. Do you struggle more with consistent contact, or direction. If it's direction, then which direction does it error?

From a pure match-up point of view, you could …

Re: Right hip/knee on downswing

  By: Tyler F on Aug. 1, 2021, 3:55 p.m.

I never try to guess what a golfer will fill. Every week on the lesson tee a golfer surprises me when they describe what a better move feels like. Last week a golfer trying to feel their chest down felt his nostril was closer to the ground. Also, th…
