Re: Force at setup

  By: Tyler F on April 20, 2020, 10:03 a.m.

+Guy K I haven't seen anything that discusses the advantage of pressing the ground. I can see some potential benefit to pushing down as a rhythm trigger to starting the swing. I do like the idea of the lead foot starting the takeaway, and a little p…

Re: What is your opinion to make chip with lag ?

  By: Tyler F on April 20, 2020, 9:47 a.m.

+B M Glad to hear that you're making some progress with your finesse wedge move. This crazy time with Covid is a great time to solidify concepts. Then when you get to training this summer, hopefully, you're time will be more effectively used. Hang i…

Morning golfers, are you confused about shallowing out the shaft in transition? Here's a breakdown of the simple way to look at what shallows and what steepens in transition. This will help you understand the advantages, or the dangers, of turning h…

Re: Video answers to your pressing questions

Here is my take on super speed. If you train speed out toward the target, instead of at the ball. It can be beneficial. Also, the shape of the club is different. The super-speed sticks train you to speed up the hosel, not the sweet spot.

Our member asked the question - "Right hip pivot video please. How much knee flex? Do you like to see a straight right leg at top of swing? Does right foot straight or flared open assist proper hip pivot?"

Re: Shanks for nothing!

+Lani H Hey, getting your golf game down to "everything but one area was pretty good" is no small step. Especially when it's something like solving the shanks with one specific club. Let me know how this drill works for you after you practice it!

Hi Barry, It's called the Monster Wedge. I got it on Ebay a month ago. It didn't look like they were still in production so you have to find one used.

Re: Focus on the right thing(s)

  By: Tyler F on April 12, 2020, 8:21 p.m.

+Kevin M Let's work on the hand/club location compared to address. Your handle is moving out into the golf ball too much to not hit the heel (unless you had a massive amount of ulnar deviation). Let me know if you have a hard time imaginging how to …

Re: Training Aid - Down Under Board

  By: Tyler F on April 11, 2020, 11:50 a.m.

+Mark C Sounds like some good feedback. It does seem like it would help prevent a sway and promote a centered turn. Looking like an optimistic start. Keep us posted!

Re: Target Tempo

+Nick W While I do a fair about of rhythm and sequence training, I can't say I do a lot of specific tempo training. Other than with a metronome for putting. If you have some successful ways to train it, please share it with all of us.

Shanks for nothing!

  By: Tyler F on April 11, 2020, 11:43 a.m.

Alright golfers, here is one way I like to help golfers prone to shanking develop a plan to never shank again. Check it out and see if you can swing a stick at an object. If you can, then you have to recalibrate where you are actually swinging the "…

  By: Tyler F on April 10, 2020, 12:49 p.m.

The question was asked on this page, "https://golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/three-danger-moves-wedge-play/" about what to do with a short chip shot. While the same danger moves could apply watch this video to see how the shorter the shot req…

Re: Short chips shots (one hand vs. two hands)

  By: Tyler F on April 9, 2020, 8:01 p.m.

+Gregory K I'm happy to help. I try to answer as many questions as I can, and with the new video forum, my goal is to answer questions with video as often as I can. Especially if they are helpful for all golfers, not just one specific golfer,
