Hi Dom,

Welcome to the site. I don't think you can go wrong either way. But I would probably start with the Build My Stock Swing Program. It's usually the first program I recommend and provides the hierarchy of where all the concepts and drills fi…

No worries, if you don't have old video, then I just work off the standard Stock Tour Swing model we're trying to work toward.

If it were me, I'd probably work on that impact and follow through. Especially the follow through width. I think with tha…

Sorry to hear about the calf injury and subsequent loss of swing. Golf is a hard game to keep the swing dialed indefinitely. Do you by any chance have a video of your swing from pre calf injury when you were swinging it the speeds you'd like? It's m…

John, Spinning the shoulders is a very common problem. Feeling closed longer, or not spinning, can be a really good swing thought for many. Sounds like you're going down a good rabbit hole. I look forward to seeing the video to see how the feel is s…

Hi Cecil,

I tend to like to have a swing goal as well as a performance goal. The picture I would want to change is the follow through side of the puzzle. It looks more like a baseball release to me which is usually linked to club face inconsistency…

Hi Joey,

In general, I think ulnar deviation is one of the keys to wrist stability and radius/club face control.

In the full speed swing you posted, I think it's apparent that part of the issue is the movement through the ball seems like it's pul…

Hi John,

Welcome to the site and thanks for the question! In general, it's always easiest to analyze a swing if you post your swing with the question. Many golfers describe their swing different than it actual is (describing feels vs real).

I'd …

You're right, it's not an area typically looked at. Commonly, lead ankle plantarflexion would help raise the lead heel and is associated with a longer backswing. But I looked at some graphs from AMM. I'm sure it's not 100% since it's on the shoe and…

A lot of the best wedge players have a movement away from the ball during the downswing. It looks like this is a 60 degree wedge by the description?

If that's the case, I think the bigger issue is that your arms are a bit steep and your body is a l…

You're welcome, good luck and keep us posted!

Happy golfing,

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the kind praise. I'll keep you posted if I can free up a little more time in early summer. In the meantime, feel free to post your questions about our system here on the site.

Happy Golfing,
Tyler

I do think you're on to something with your arms. If I look at your release and arm action through the ball, it appears to have a few elements of lead arm pulling. The elbow pit quickly rotates, the lead shoulder isn't very protracted/elevated, and …

Hi John,

I'm glad you were able to solve your own issue. Solving your own problems is way more sustainable than having someone tell you exactly what to do. It's why my tagline for the website is, "you are your own best golf coach".

But talking t…

Hi Gabe,

I think it's common for golfers to lose the core tension in transition. The part of the body that maintains the tension is more in the mid back, just beneath the shoulder blades. That's a tricky area for some.

But to investigate your que…

I'm a bigger fan of the What'sThatStrap device. I think the pure torque might encourage too much kyphosis and ab motion through the ball rather than earlier in the downswing. Having the trail arm in internal rotation makes sense anatomically for cor…
