+Glenn M Greetings Glenn. Enjoy your trip. Thanks for participating. I know that slide/lunge look is something you're working on. The two components to the lunge/steep pattern are the positions and the timing. The positions both require more wipe (l…

+Patti D I can visualize most of those looks, but what is the collapsing ankle in the takeaway? do you have a picture of it?

+John C That humping look can be a tricky one. It helps shallow the club, it creates space for early arm straightening, it helps close the face quickly, it puts less demand into hip flexibility...

The big thing with that one is finding a slow motio…

+Ed J Thanks for the response, I'll add it to my list. In the meantime, I'd consider you experimented with turning out your lead foot. Also, make sure the clubface in a position that allows you to rotate through impact.

+Ed C Thank you for the response, perhaps I should have also asked you what you love in your swing ;)

+Scott E Looking at your last post, it looks like you got it figured out. But if you want, feel free to post a video of your swing with this type of question. It can help give me an easier way to respond. Typically a big inside out path comes from e…

Re: Closed face

+Scott E Hey Scott,

Typically the face getting overly closed comes from one of a couple of causes.

1 - Most common is shaft lean/lag. If you have an early release that often causes the clubface to be too closed at impact.
- If you look at yourse…

+Nick W Here's the simple version of tracking your stats.

How many easy opportunities do you have? (GIR less than 30 feet)
What percent do you save par when you miss a fairway or miss a green?

+Ryan M My only issue with super speed is that the shape of the implement doesn't match the shape of the club. It's like swinging a baseball bat vs a hockey stick. So, it's helpful for some golfers to learn speed, and it helps train a very neutral p…

I'm working on some content organization and an easier way to identify what to work on to improve your game. If your primary goal is to improve your score, then I'd use the following framework. (more details of this coming in the near future…

+Nick W I've yet to see a training aid that I didn't modify in some way with each student. While I think that training aids can be helpful, my evaluation of how good or bad they are depends on how well the student adapts their swing after their use,…

You're welcome. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll get back on doing swing analysis in the winter. Working on a content project right now that is taking a lot of focus ;)
