I refer to bracing as the idea of what you use to slow down the club. So in your example, the body position would lend itself more to bracing with the body vs bracing with the arms or shoulders. In my view, bracing with the whole body is a better ap…

I can try to elaborate. But, where are you stuck? There are two ideas, stay down and turn through.

With the idea of having your chest stay down, you have to overcome what it feels and looks like to be closer to the ground. If you are closer to the…

Good job on the early extension. But yes, it does look like that was saving some of your natural path tendencies. So, the pull is likely coming from the lack of ulnar deviation. The lack of UD shows up earlier in the downswing, but is really reveale…

Hopefully this helps clear up the upper vs lower body thought.

Hey Garrett,

It kinda looks like you get stuck when trying to go back into the heels.

There are two ends to the pivot part, You could experiment with having the upper body stay more down, which encourages the legs to work more away from the ball…

Having something for the muscle to resist allows it to create more force. Imagine trying to life an empty milk jug, you couldn't activate your muscles nearly as fully as if you were trying to lift a heavy weight. Same rule applies. The kinematic seq…

When looking to analyze solid contact, I would primarily look at the face on view. It'll show shaft lean and low point tendencies the best. If you'd like, post a face on video and we can look at why it wouldn't feel springy.

As far as the ulnar de…

Hey Frank, thanks for posting your swing.

I think you're on the right track. Looking at your video, I think we can rule out the hard over the top pull. Yours is more of a club face too closed pull. That said, there's a couple of match ups that mak…

I don't see any real early extension move in that swing you posted. So if that was your main concern, then I'd say whatever you're feeling is on the right track. Some common feel descriptions when you fix early extension are:
- more "on top of it" a…

It looks like you didn't quite finish your last thought.

But I'll give an opinion about the first part. The kinematic sequence is well known for rotational sports. The exact timing depends on a few factors (like how long or heavy the implement is)…

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the background and for checking out my site. If you really want to get to the bottom of it, then I'd recommend posting a video of your swing (either doing the drill or an actual swing) to see why the ball is starting to the lef…

Hi Jeremy,

I had a student bring one in this week. I'll film a video on a couple ways I'd probably like to use it. In general, I like it because it's versatile and can be used a couple of different ways!

Stay tuned!

Hi Fred,

Getting to know your swing and your pattern is the first step. I agree with your overall assessment. Let me try to add a couple connections for you.

Control pattern:
At the top of the swing, your arms have worked more around your body (…

I personally like to have a little bit of versatility. So typically I would have slightly different grind styles for my lob wedge, sand wedge, gap wedge. Also, I sometimes switched out wedges for certain courses. I guess the real question is looking…

Yea, it's definitely a journey. If I had a dollar for every time my warm up was good and my round wasn't as good (or vice versa)!

As far as your question about choosing a model, height and build probably isn't a bad place to start. However, no two …
