Two good rules for couples are:
No unsolicited feedback
Yes or no questions only
Basically, she can't ask "what did I do?" She can ask something specific like, "did I go over the top."
That's when you can answer "yes or no". But don't add anything …

A sports psychologist once told me that the psychology side is about 5% of sports. He worked with track and field mostly. He said, "no way of thinking will make someone a full second faster." So yes, technique work in a sport like golf creates a hig…

I haven't seen a big difference between 720 and 1080p for analyzing a swing. i don't think 4K will be that much better, but I could be wrong. What would make a huge difference would be a manual (or higher) shutter speed mode. But that's not importan…

Not a problem. I like tough questions. I've studied a lot and understand the complexity of some injuries/pain patterns. So I tend to shy away from blanket injury recommendations.
As far as the necessity. At the top of the swing, the average disass…

The iPhone hasn't really updated it's high speed camera in a number of generations. So any one of the models more recent than like the iPhone 5 will shoot 240 FPS at 1080. There are a host of different apps. I personally use Technique (by Hudl). But…

I once had dinner with Stan Utley. He brought up a conversation he had with Brad Faxon about how neither of them every tried to make a putt. They were so involved with the process that all they tried to do was start a ball online with the speed they…

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…
