+James B Good question. I haven't seen any EMG studies, but I'd advocate feeling the lats, traps, rhomboids, posterior delt and other scap muscles control the putting stroke. The obliques can help, but you have to be careful not to use them in a way…

+Mark E Hey Mark, The movement of the scapula is a little tricky. It's currently nearly impossible to measure, so we have to rely on our observations and intuition. What I like to see is:
Lead: backswing, slight protraction/rotation, Downswing, mor…

+Mark E Hey Mark, sorry I missed this one in May. The timing of the lead knee reaching max bend is during transition of the downswing. Here's a graph of Grant Waite and the timing of when the green line peaks. Yes, early straightening of the leg can…

+E B Youtube does the closed captioning for us, unfortunately, Vimeo doesn’t. We're a small company, but we are always trying to provide a better experience. If the ability to simply add closed captioning changes in the future, we'd be happy to add …

+Nick W Interesting story. I hadn't heard it before, but it does make some sense to me. But as you said, probably not the overall healthiest way to get 10 more yards ;)

+Ed C I think your question helps illuminate the answer some. I don't know that we have a clear answer. Golf has always been tricky that way. Many different body types meet the requirements. It's not like football where you won't see a tiny lineman …

+Sam K Too much side bend/extension. Not enough abs/core in the early downswing. You could look at the "beat the drum" drill. https://golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/beat-the-drum/

+Ham S Set up a little station and hit about 20 balls with it and see what you figure out :)
Good luck and keep us posted.

+Ham S Keep investigating things like the Moe Norman drill. I would definitely use some type of visual like the pool noodle in right path with a pool noodle. Or something like the wall drill. https://golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/pool-noodle…

+Sam K Hi Sam,
It looks to me like it's more of the open club face and path going left late (giving more of the thin glancing blow). Looking at the face on, it looks like you have good shaft lean, but your upper body is well behind the left hip. Tr…

+Ned G I wound investigate why the swing breaks down when you swing bigger. Does the path/face change? or does the low point/center of your swing change?
Based on that answer, I'd train either longer and slower swings gradually adding length. Or s…

+Olle E unhinge is looking better. So keep working on that. If you start having more contact issues, then you will be able to start moving on to working on chest rotation or the wipe (trail elbow more in front).
This unhinge piece will help you un…
