Re: Training Aid - Down Under Board

  By: Tyler F on Dec. 10, 2020, 11:07 a.m.

Unfortunately, with those devices, I would think of it more in terms of muscle activation and quality of movement. So I'd use the down under board if I wanted more adductor activation or help with deep core activation. I'd use a band if I wanted mor…

Re: Pressure, force, and dynamic motion

  By: Tyler F on Dec. 10, 2020, 7:56 a.m.

I'll do a few videos on it, but the quick summary is that, in my opinion, the GRF stuff is overdone in golf. It's something that's easy to measure, so there is a lot of capability to look at it easily. But I don't find the information that useful. I…

Re: What are your golf goals for 2020?

Well, if you have to track one stat nGIR by hand, it's probably worth it to help prioritize.

But it sounds like you have some clear goals. That's great! Now you have to break those global goals down into tangible goals. That's where you can plan h…

Re: Training Aid - Down Under Board

The band activates your glutes, the board helps activate your adductors. Two different ways of making you use less quads in the golf swing. One reinforces the posterior chain, one reinforces more of the anterior chain. So they are similar, but also …

Re: Lead wrist extension post impact

  By: Tyler F on Dec. 8, 2020, 8:11 p.m.

Hi John,
I haven't seen an explicit connection between the wrist movement and the hand path. If you want to post a swing, I'd be happy to give it a quick look. Otherwise, if it's working, it's more important to get video so you have a good reference…

Re: Opinions regarding the Motorcycle Move

  By: Tyler F on Dec. 8, 2020, 7:53 p.m.

If you want to post a swing, or a drill swing, and talk through how to work on clubface squaring in your swing. The offer to help you still stands. Or, if you want to discuss alternative theories on why the drills on this site have given my student …

Re: Pressure, force, and dynamic motion

In the interim, if you want to post a couple videos of you doing step drills or lower body activation drills to the "help my swing" section, I'm happy to give you my 2 cents. It might help.

Re: Opinions regarding the Motorcycle Move

  By: Tyler F on Dec. 7, 2020, 1:22 p.m.

Since I'm not a golf theorist, my goal is to help golfers practically able the golf science theory to their own games. If the motorcycle move doesn't close the face, that's fine. I'm happy if a better theory comes up that explains why it works. But …

Re: Practice Tee: How to practice different starting lines?

  By: Tyler F on Dec. 6, 2020, 6:28 p.m.

In simulating the on-course scenarios it's helpful to challenge and stress yourself. While you can explore feel, visual, rhythm as a way of organizing your pre-shot routine. In addition, you can reflect on how you store stress. Some people store str…

Hey Guy,

It seems that more of our members have some lower body questions. So I'll do a round of videos presenting some of my more common drills. I do use step drills a lot, but I also use drills to try to isolate the hip muscles from the knee mus…

Re: What are your golf goals for 2020?

Getting clear on your stats can help prioritize.

Tour pros average 12-13 GIR and 95% nGIR (within 20 yards). Scratch golf is about 9 GIR, so I give the rough guide of 85% nGIR for my golfers trying to get to scratch. The good rounds, they'll be cl…

Re: What are your golf goals for 2020?

It's hard to imagine that the year is almost over!

I've always thought that the important part of the goal-setting process is the process. For example, with my goals. I was able to play one round virtually pain-free (didn't have the time or capaci…

Thanks for the comment/concern. My goal with the site is to help do-it-yourself golfers find ways to improve their swing. There are three primary needs with your golf swing.
1. Control the face-to-path = hit it straight(ish)
2. Control the path = hi…

Re: Where to start? Help please!

  By: Tyler F on Dec. 5, 2020, 7:42 a.m.

Hi Paul, Welcome to the site. Martin's a great coach, I'm glad that he introduced you to our program :)

As far as your swing, I think there are two complementary pieces to work on. Which one you start with really depends on which feels the most com…

Re: Getting speed into the grip early without casting

  By: Tyler F on Nov. 29, 2020, 11:21 a.m.

I have an idea about how you would have to design it. I think you would need a spring gauge. A rope or pully would require too much linear force in one direction, instead of more of a curving force.

With the lead arm pinned to your chest idea, I g…
