+Mark E Are they saying that the golfers are reaching extension at P1 (club parallel in the backswing)? Here are a couple of graphs. Steve Elkington and Grant Waite. You'll see that the golfers are STARTING to go into extension at that point, but th…

+John C In your post, you mentioned a couple of different kinds of hip tilts. Often times, golfers are talking about hip tilt in the side bend direction, not just in the forward-backward direction. For example, it's those side bend tilts that help d…

+Mike W It was, his comment on that topic was landing the sole of the club really flat to the sand/ground is why it sounds really loud when he hits bunker shots ;)

One of my important goals of this site is to help try and clarify feel vs real. Jake is demonstrating two different exaggerations of the movements, but the discussion out there is relating to arm rotation vs pure ulnar deviation in shallow…

I've got a student bringing one in at his next lesson to let me borrow. I'll let you know what I think of it after that ;)

Joel, check out this video on the topic - https://golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/connecting-arm-shallowing-supination/

The "passive torque" is enhanced supination when you apply normal force to the club.

Great discussion going on, I wanted to add a small addition about context. When does shallowing happen and for about how long? Perhaps that will help your idea of how to apply shallowing to your own swing :)

I’ll work on my interview skills, but there are a couple key points in this quick lesson Stan gave one of my students.

Hi Mark,

I should clarify that the graph is the amount of forward bend, not 100% pelvic tilt. A quick note - Anterior or posterior pelvic tilt is a posture position reference. A common definition is the angle of the sacrum compared to a vertical pl…

The most common pattern seen on 3D is slight posterior tilt in the backswing, very slight anterior tilt in transition, then posterior tilting through the release. I think most of this comes from core engagement while rotating and shifting pressure, …

Well, a simple rule is that solid contact comes from path and curve comes from face-to-path. So if you're not worried about hitting it far, you only have two variables to try and solve.

In your scenario, one simple guideline is that transition rev…

For sure, and also make sure to wipe sunscreen off your hands before you hold them!

I have not seen or tried the planemate yet. In theory, it might help with arcwidth, but I haven't tried it and am unsure on the anchor point and how it would influence the feeling during the release.

Comment below if you have any other grip saving techniques!

Hey Scott,

I got a chuckle from the analogy. Thanks. But here's the challenge with the analogy. In Algebra, there is one right answer. In golf, there could be many. Let me explain. There are three main variables - Path (solid contact), Face to Pat…
