Hey Matt,
This is the best time to work on bigger changes like that. I'll try to help. Maybe you could post a swing here and we can identify the pieces to work through. While I hear the term thrown around, I've yet to see a really clear definition o…

Hi John,

I haven't seen any data on it specifically. Mechanically, a larger grip could restrict radial deviation, but wouldn't have a big influence on flexion/extension or pronatation/supination. I put a number of my older students in larger grips …

I agree with the causation and correlation thing. Hopefully, you find the answers you're looking for in my videos on this site :)

Ed,

Welcome back to the plan. As a regroup, I'd say more pressing than the path in transition is the alignment of the shaft at impact. That's WAY too much shaft lean for a driver. BUT, the clubface is square, so it means that you'll have to recali…

Garrett,

I don't mind being put on the spot :)

One thing I try to preach is that there is no magic feel for every golfer. Rather, what you need to focus on depends on where your swing is now and how it compares to your model. I think most instruc…

Hi Garrett,

Welcome to the site! Looking at your swing, I would go first at the body. You get into a pretty solid follow-through position, and while your transition is a bit narrow, I think the body movements are more likely to cause your inconsis…

As you know, they both work together. But, when I look at your swing, I think the body position is the bigger influence. The arms don't look too bad, but you'll have a hard time finding driver consistency with such little axis tilt. Body position, t…

Garrett,

I'm seeing pretty much the same thing you are. With the full swing, you tend to pull a little harder with your arm through impact instead of turning the body. A good test might be for you to try the L to L but hit it HARD and see if you br…

Hey Ben,

Good looking move. Here are 3 pictures to help understand your draw issue. The last parallel shows the club coming from the inside, but the exit is under the hand checkpoint. If you look at the video, the path doesn't really go left until…

Greg,

Here are a couple videos to get you going on the motorcycle

Here is a quick thought on transition. It's looking better, but yes, changing power sources is harder than just changing positions!

Rick, Ulnar deviation puts a bunch of ligaments on tension. So it kinda locks out the wrist and provides high feedback. A number of great putters (like Brad Faxon) did it instinctively. In order to get the extended putter shaft in line with the fore…

It was "one thousand, one". The three syllables to one syllable gives you the three to one tempo pretty easily :)

To your last question, I would say no. If you get the handle moving a certain speed, if you had more mass, that speed won't produce a greater distance. But I think there is some truth to his statement about bodyweight helping produce distance easier…

Way to put me in a tough spot ;)

My philosophy is to work on golf the way I would teach any other sport. I'd start with set up/grip etc, and then I'd work on the goal of the swing. So I usually teach in this rough order: set up, impact, follow-thro…
