Nick,
Tread lightly in coaching your spouse :)

That said, baseball/softball players have a few common struggles. One, they don't like to motorcycle. Two, they don't like side bend. Three, they like to overload radial deviation a the top.

With you…

Hi Max,

As you've seen, this movement does produce better geometry than a forward lunge. There are a two main categories of different things that might cause pain. Either the movement itself is stressing an area too much. Or an area is damaged and …

Ron,

The club and shaft pretty much follow a planar movement from waist height to waist height. The idea of the wipe is more about moving the center of the swing forward. So the plane board your describing does not have the ball at the center of it…

Yes, I can put something together. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll get something filmed in the next couple of weeks!

Yes, it's a common problem for some patterns. It almost always causes fat and thin shots as you describe. I usually work start with:
Lead foot low point, delivery and go, or push ball.
Or if my student is up for a challenge, I start with the single …

For most golfers, it's about 30-40 yards. After that distance, it becomes more of a distance wedge technique.

Hey Golfers,

I had a discussion going that I want to use some video to support. The forum is the best place for that. The discussion is about the Jackson 5 with the iron. (https://golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/jackson-5-drill1/) With the sh…

Hi Jeff,

Welcome to the academy! Let us know if you have any specific questions. Or if you want guidance with your swing, please post to the "help my swing" section of the forum.

Happy Golfing,
Tyler

Good suggestion, I'll give it some thought and add it to my list!

It looks like the club is still higher than the height of the golf ball at this point in the swing. Also, harder to see from this view, but looks like the hands could be ahead enough that you'll have a hard time creating a more positive launch angle…

One of the challenges with juniors is how much their swings can change. I once had a student shift his swing from a (-9) swing path to a (+12) after a 2-week vacation. He had no idea why it changed, but his swing was completely different. This extre…

Hi Eric,

When the hands are this far behind, the force of the club will naturally want to pass too soon. Check this position with your 9-3. It's possible that the to 3 is slow enough you could resist the passing of the club and keep the arms stra…

Yes, the humerus should have some rotation to it, but how much depends on the amount of internal rotation of the shoulder at set up. We still don't have a good data set of shoulder motion. So, unfortunately, we have to go off video to look at this p…

Hi Ed,

Getting the core involved can be really helpful for some. here are a few videos that address ways to train it. It's important to note that the trail shoulder blade is an important piece of this puzzle. That's why when you get more core, you…
