This looks pretty good. I think if you could combo a little of the shoulder blade shallowing feel with this feel you'd really be on to something. I like your bracing better in the shoulder blade shallowing video. But the club is more in front of you…

Not bad Zach,

Shoulder blade does look more shallower. Two things kinda pop out. It could have more wipe. The combo of shallow and across really challenges the pec/serratus. So it's more down, but some of it created a little bit of axis tilt. migh…

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the comment, sorry for the delayed response. It's been a busy July!

Anyway, let's discuss your pattern a bit. I think your impact position isn't too bad from the DTL. But you're in the process of spinning the upper body and pu…

It looks like our closest coach is in Naples, but there are a couple of other options in West Palm Beach. Hopefully in the future we'll get someone in Tampa proper!

Good luck,

As a new golfer, I recommend the "Build My Stock Swing" course as a good starting off point. As a new golfer, you have a handful of things to work on and which will be more enjoyable depends a lot on your background and awareness. https://www.golfsm…

Based on the down the line video, it looks like the pull portion of the pull hook is the biggest issue. If we look at the path check points halfway down and into the follow through we can get more information. The club face isn't overly closed in ei…

Hi Dave,

Do you have a video, preferably face on of the swing? I'm guessing that the hips aren't leading enough or long enough. But it would be easier to tell with a video to accompany what the wrists are doing.

Happy Golfing,

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the kind words. I'm not a huge fan of actively lowering, it's way too easy to overdo or do it too long. Here's a video I did on the topic.

Hi Tony,

It's definitely something you can play around with. In general, I don't see as much benefit of flaring the trail foot out as much as the lead foot. I typically find that golfers who have a restricted backswing are either lacking in extens…

The practice swings help with the discussion. The real swing, I would have said it looks like the early extension is helping you pull with your lead shoulder. The shoulders look like they want to get really open and the early extension could be a wa…

Hi Zach,

I know I saw what about bob, but I'd probably have to rewatch it to catch the reference. Sorry :D

The range swing did look really good. One thing that jumps out to me with the on course vs the range (especially the on course driver) is t…

Glad you figured it out. It's really just semantics, but generally, the body pivot refers to the movement of the body. The angles the body moves on. The timing of it's motions and activations. The stiffness or fluidity of it. All different component…

Hi Dave,

I'll have to play around with the casting parameter. When they and I initially discussed it, they said that it was not purely a measure of ulnar deviation. But I can play around with it and try to investigate it further. Do you have a fac…

Hi Larry,

I'm glad you have a good mantra for your full swing that triggers a good rhythm and low point. The trick for short putts is that it's mostly about geometry, more so than tempo/rhythm. Most pros practice with highly specific feedback to w…

Hi Stan,

When I think of a consistent swing, I think of a swing with a good flat spot and club face control. I think your overall arm structure is pretty good, but your body isn't very rotated at impact. That can make the bottom of the swing have l…
