Do pros hit every shot solid?

  By: Tyler F on Jan. 6, 2020, 11:03 a.m.

I like to help my students manage expectations. If you put too much pressure on your results, you will create tension that may hurt your path or face control. Here's a good video put out from the European tour of bad shots from last year. Focus on t…

Re: Interesting Data on Hand Speed

  By: Tyler F on Jan. 4, 2020, 7:23 a.m.

Ron, I have seen the same pattern in my 3D experience. In fact, here's an excerpt from the book I published a few years ago that says the same thing (pic 1). The other two pictures are the graphs of mid-hand speeds. The first one shows an amateur re…

Re: Tiger Woods talks about his hands

  By: Tyler F on Dec. 30, 2019, 12:24 p.m.

Tiger is consistent in describing his keys for his swing. He has said in many interviews that he feels the swing in his left hand, and when he is in a tournament he feels like that awareness gets heightened.

His comment of about working on differe…

What are your golf goals for 2020?

This is a pretty simple article to help you prioritize your practice if your goal is breaking 80.

Re: Best Training Aids

I haven't tried the orange peel myself. So, I can't endorse it.

I usually fix a slide by working on the pivot with some spatial support (shafts or pool noodles) combined with some improvements in trail arm external rotation and the wipe.

I'm a big fan of the Visio putting mats. Especially for visual learners or golfers with face rotation issues.

Nick,

I'd say the most common software is just using the native IOS with 240 FPS. That being said, I use HUDL Technique to film my students swings, and when I export them, it remains at 240.

+Jules C Definitely. If you were in his body position with your arm motion, you'd hit it 6 inches fat. The images are the timing when your arm appears to start firing compared to when Mac does it. Pretty big differences.

Re: planemate?

  By: Tyler F on Dec. 8, 2019, 10:56 a.m.

+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

+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.

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