+Ed C Sorry for the delay, this week we went back to work :)

1 - How much it compares at set up varies a lot. It's dependent on grip and release pattern. As a general rule, both arms are about 30 degrees more pronated at impact than it was at set u…

+Nick W As you get better and approach breaking 80 more consistently, I see routines becoming more and more important. A routine is part of the glue that helps things breed consistency.

When you are practicing at home, make sure you are practicing…

+Guy K One challenge is that this motion isn't currently measured by any system. Or at least, I've never seen good data on tour pros. So most of the claims of internal vs external are observational. Also, internal vs external is only one part of sho…

+Nick W It really depends on what you want to do with them. I like hack motion for training the motorcycle movement, but as a student, you'd have to decide if it's worth it. Most of the easy systems are inertial based, so they give you rotations rea…

Brian had a common question about his swing, where should I get started. If you have a basic stroke, then it almost always makes sense to refine it by solving your worst miss. In his case, we want to fix the thin shots. Check out this video discussi…

+Nick W Depends a little bit. But I would put the better players at low single digit and below. At least the wedge play skills. If you have a hard time controlling loft and angle of attack, then you're better off changing clubs.

Prescribing a numbe…

+Alex F Good suggestions.

Two of them I have already looked at:
I did a review on my swing from the early 2000s, but I could do an updated version. Also, I did an analysis of Bryson a few years ago.

+Matt A Here's a little video for you. I'd check out these too videos as well.

Here's a video to start a discussion about the trail arm pronation. It doesn't line up timing-wise with the lead arm.

For the golf nerds, I have two screenshots of 3D graphs. The first picture shows the timing of when the lead arm starts supinatin…

Here's a student who wants to try and get his hands higher. We have to be careful with how we do things, not just what we do!

If you've seen golfers bouncing the golf ball and want to learn how to do it. Here's a quick progression you can work on to improve your skills. This is also helpful for improving your clubface awareness and control ;)

+Eugene M Check out the video response. I'd try either of these two videos to help with your loft training/release.

+Nick W Thanks for the update. Sounds like you've taken full advantage of the lockdown. As you mentioned, the key is having the process to be able to keep the gains. But often, a shorter intensive period like this is hugely helpful for building some…

+Nick W Identifying the phase of the swing that looks off is a good place to start :)

I don't know if there is a standard for grip pressure. I haven't seen anything. I know Stan Utley promotes a firmer grip pressure. I tend to putt my best with mor…

+Nick W I'll send out an email to our members about this post. It should be an interesting topic.

When it comes to "mental game", I think there are a lot of useful directions to take. The most common I enjoy are:
1 - Course Management Strategy - d…
