+Ed C yes, the divot location is pretty indicative of handicap level :)

Re: Better ball contact

  By: Tyler F on June 1, 2020, 12:58 p.m.

+rgailun1113 The timing of when your arms goes flat is quite late. It's part of how you load your trail shoulder elevation move in transition. I think you'd struggle more if you get your arms more vertical at the top of the swing without addressing …

Re: Looking for general feedback

+Olle E I tell my students to describe themselves as working on a movement, instead of doing a movement. It's a subtle shift, but it can help if you feel like you're doing something but here are two images that show you haven't quite mastered the un…

Re: My wrists have asked me to please stop digging holes

  By: Tyler F on May 26, 2020, 5:41 p.m.

+Ham S Given that info, and the left arm wanting to pull, I would probably do the left arm only 9 to 3. It might be a real game changer for understanding how the left arm works during the release. That might help you change how you load and unload i…

Grip in your palm - Great images from the weekend match

  By: Tyler F on May 26, 2020, 5:06 p.m.

Hey Golfers,

Take a look at Tiger compared to Tom Brady post impact. If you've had a hard time visualizing a grip in the palm vs the fingers of the left hand, this image will help!

For extra credit, look at the divot location compared to the set u…

Re: Hitting vs swinging

  By: Tyler F on May 25, 2020, 4:22 p.m.

+Ned G I've never really understood the difference between hitting and swinging. I get the idea in theory, but when I've asked people for something quantifiable on 3D, I've never had a concrete answer. I like to teach the body to work as a unit, and…

Why start with the Motorcycle?

  By: Tyler F on May 25, 2020, 1:39 p.m.

Drew, I hope this helps answer your question and helps give you an idea of how to navigate working on your swing change.

I realize that I didn't address the idea of "no power". Often times, the motorcycle movement feels weak at first if you are use…

Re: Ulnar Deviation impact on Right and left side bend

  By: Tyler F on May 24, 2020, 10:51 a.m.

+Mark E Good question. The ideal timing of the ulnar deviation just after the lead leg pushes vertically. That vertical push helps trigger the side bend movement and upward movement of the lead shoulder which helps trigger the ulnar deviation. The t…

Re: Covering the ball with your chest

  By: Tyler F on May 23, 2020, 10:32 a.m.

+Steven B The most common drill for covering the ball with your chest is the merry go round, but here's a quick video answer on what to look out for with covering the ball with your chest.

Re: question for Tyler... Matthew Wolff swing

  By: Tyler F on May 23, 2020, 10:15 a.m.

+chordsaplenty I do think having the lead heel come over the ground can help with rhythm/sequencing.

Also, thanks for posting the Mike Austin video, I definitely would wear one of those suits if I can find one :)

Re: Side Bends

  By: Tyler F on May 23, 2020, 10:10 a.m.

+John C Here are a couple of drills that relate to foot/balance pressure. I'll use the alignment stick in the backswing as well as how it's demonstrated in the downswing video. PS - Moving into the toes is definitely one of the core reasons golfers …

Re: Side Bends

  By: Tyler F on May 19, 2020, 8:49 p.m.

+Guy K Gotcha, thanks for sharing.

That recentering has more to do with the pivot and how the legs/pelvis work against the ground and work with the spine/core. The left side bend is also a sign of using the core correctly, but it can be done with o…
