Hi Matt,

Yes, sorry, we were having an issue with the forum that we didn't know about until now. But it seems to be fixed and working again.

Compared to the previous picture, your shaft is flatter and a little deeper. I think what gives it the lo…

Hi Zach,

For a lot of tour pros, it would be at the top of the swing, or just before it. In the attached axial velocity graph, you'll see the graph is positive the whole downswing, meaning that it's closing the entire time. The rate of closing fre…

Hi Magnus,

That's a common challenge. With the 9-3, it's easier to power the swing with the body, and it's easier to avoid body position issues. SInce you've already tried the wipe with aggression, we'll assume it's more of a position issue. So my…

Hi Mike,

Finally getting caught up after a busy month. I think that early extension is related, but I think for you it's secondary to the arms and shaft lean idea. If you don't really extend, you might have a hard time hitting the ball straight. I…

I answered your other posts first, now as I look back at this it doesn't even look like the same golfer. It's amazing how much a swing can evolve. I'd say that we just scratch these feels and work on the hang back/wipe forward idea.

PS congrats on…

This looks pretty good. I think if you could combo a little of the shoulder blade shallowing feel with this feel you'd really be on to something. I like your bracing better in the shoulder blade shallowing video. But the club is more in front of you…

Not bad Zach,

Shoulder blade does look more shallower. Two things kinda pop out. It could have more wipe. The combo of shallow and across really challenges the pec/serratus. So it's more down, but some of it created a little bit of axis tilt. migh…

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the comment, sorry for the delayed response. It's been a busy July!

Anyway, let's discuss your pattern a bit. I think your impact position isn't too bad from the DTL. But you're in the process of spinning the upper body and pu…

It looks like our closest coach is in Naples, but there are a couple of other options in West Palm Beach. Hopefully in the future we'll get someone in Tampa proper!

Good luck,

As a new golfer, I recommend the "Build My Stock Swing" course as a good starting off point. As a new golfer, you have a handful of things to work on and which will be more enjoyable depends a lot on your background and awareness. https://www.golfsm…

Based on the down the line video, it looks like the pull portion of the pull hook is the biggest issue. If we look at the path check points halfway down and into the follow through we can get more information. The club face isn't overly closed in ei…

Hi Dave,

Do you have a video, preferably face on of the swing? I'm guessing that the hips aren't leading enough or long enough. But it would be easier to tell with a video to accompany what the wrists are doing.

Happy Golfing,
Tyler

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the kind words. I'm not a huge fan of actively lowering, it's way too easy to overdo or do it too long. Here's a video I did on the topic.

Hi Tony,

It's definitely something you can play around with. In general, I don't see as much benefit of flaring the trail foot out as much as the lead foot. I typically find that golfers who have a restricted backswing are either lacking in extens…

The practice swings help with the discussion. The real swing, I would have said it looks like the early extension is helping you pull with your lead shoulder. The shoulders look like they want to get really open and the early extension could be a wa…
