Re: Ex Putt

  By: Tyler F on Sept. 6, 2020, 9:47 a.m.

I talked to a couple of coaches I think do a great job with putting. Here are a couple of guidelines for you:
- Putter face +/- .4 degrees at impact
- Putter path +/- 2 degrees (but the consistency of the path is WAY more important than the value)

Re: Jerry Rice is asking for swing help (seriously)

  By: Tyler F on Sept. 6, 2020, 9:34 a.m.

Jerry used to come out and play our course frequently. We have a no guest policy in effect right now, but I'm sure when things open back up again he'll be back. Maybe I'll see if the request for help is a serious one then ;)

I'll have to look into the face and path ranges for you. I know that on Trackman tour pros are usually +/- .5 degrees of the intended read. On a ten foot putt, if you are off by more than .5% either way you would miss the edge of the cup. The start …

Kevyn, I think you're in the right ballpark. See if my video helps add any direction :)

Your arms have a steep look to them, but you keep your body closed to help balance that out. If your body s…

Hi Matt,

Glad you're enjoying the content. As with everything golf-related, I like to have a plan. Not knowing anything about your swing, I would normally attack distance by addressing the following questions:
Am I maximizing my current speed?

Re: 5 iron swing

The longer the swing, the more it benefits from powering the swing with lower body rotation. Looking at the video, it appears to be more of an upper-body dominant swing. Your weight ends up more into the toes at this point, which is a sign of more o…

Yes, on a short swing (like 9-3 swings) the pressure would have already been shifted to the front foot. So it's better to preset the pressure and go from there!

Hey Kevin,

Here's a video to tide you over. We have a little backlog of videos, so it'll take me a few more weeks to get a full version out there :)

Looks like a cool product. Let me know what you think of it after you play around with it for a while! I hope it transfers to better on course speed control!

In order to clear the hips, you have to create an environment that supports it. Meaning, you'll need the club to be a little more shallower and more closed. In your case, I think the closed face is the bigger issue. The takeaway checkpoint reveals t…

Where you position the camera can influence certain patterns you might see. If you are trying to assess your face and path, then you'd want to be consistent. Since most videos are close to hand height and parallel to the hand line, I tend to go ther…
