Tyler F's posts

+Tyler F I've got to play around with the planemate for a couple weeks. While it provides some interesting feels, I have yet to see it make a big positive change with any student I tried it with. No major change with shallowing or with the release i…

+Michael G Thanks for participating. I agree with everything Jules said, it's a great description of the pivot and how it will complement the release drills you've worked on. The legs should start pushing vertically around the delivery position. Rig…

+Hans F Thanks for participating. I agree with Jules that the leg issue is more of a backswing issue than a downswing. The squat move in transition looks really good! In the takeaway, there's more of an ankle sway rather than a rotation of the hips.…

+John J Thanks for participating. Given the amount of pelvis rotation in that picture, it looks like you're backswing may be dominated too much by the arm/shoulder movements. With a little more body focus, particularly with side bend, perhaps the
ta…

+David L Thanks for participating.

2 ways to address the stand-up. More left tilt at the top of the swing, or start taller to begin with. Lots of good pieces in that swing, so keep working on it!

+Nick W Thanks for participating. I'd say there is some classic early extension going on. But the timing of the leg action looks really good. I don't think it actually costs you too much speed, but it might make solid contact harder to achieve.

As…

+Jules C Thanks for sharing that! Definitely a different position a foot past impact ;)

+Michael P Thanks for participating. Definitely can use some release work since most of your comments relate to your arms. Two comments to help clarify.

1 - your last point about weight shift,
In the second picture, you see that most of your body…

+Jules C Wise words. I only hate things that directly influence efficiency as well.

Quick clarification - Delivery position is about P5.5, not p6.

With that p6 check point, either the hands aren't enough in front (trail shoulder action) or the b…

+Dan M Thanks for participating. Those are a couple of good ones!
1 - Hands toward the ball and steepening comes from too much left shoulder blade retraction or lead shoulder protraction combined with a leftward rotation of the forearms or shoulders…

+John C You mention my background, which makes these questions much more challenging than they seem on surface. One phrase I like, "posture is a relationship, not a position". So the right posture can look different on different bodies. The key is g…

+Andrew H I agree with Jules on this one. I actually prefer your right leg movement compared to Adams. The left foot indicates a slight compensation for the left hip, but I don't think yours is excessive (like a Jordan Spieth).

But I am curious, w…

+Gregory D Yes, I don't think anyone thinks their swing is perfect. You just have to know it and it's tendencies :)

Colorful imagery, do you have a snapshot of your swing at impact so I could see that position better?

+Dieter O Thanks for participating.

1 - open face in the takeaway usually comes from leading the movement with the arms and hands instead of the feet (left foot specifically). That could relate to your tendency to use the arms more in transition.

+John R Tnaks for participating. The inside takeaway can come from too much lead shoulder rotation, not early enough arm lift, too level a shoulder turn, too much upper body sway off the ball, or too much right arm bend.

Personally, I think the se…
