Thanks Tyler, I'll work on this!

Weight shift and half-swings

  By: Gene P on March 17, 2024, 8:42 a.m.

Hi there,
When I'm training a new movement and working on drills that call for half-swings or really anything less than a full swing, I often get tripped up with my weight shift and timing of where my weight should be at different points/positions. …

Great, I appreciate the advice!

Tyler, thanks for the reply. So are you saying this is more of a strength and/or flexibility issue rather than a swing fault? Or is there something happening earlier in the swing that is causing this tendency? I had sort of assumed that there was…

Losing balance at finish with driver

  By: Gene P on Jan. 3, 2023, 8:43 p.m.

Happy new year Tyler! Let me start by saying that I've been a member now for a few years, and my swing and overall golf game has improved dramatically with all of your videos and personal feedback -- I am grateful for everything that you do and for…

Choking up on the club

  By: Gene P on Oct. 12, 2022, 2:14 p.m.

Can choking up on a golf club for a full, stock swing make any real difference (normal stance, normal lie) to the dynamics of the swing? The reason I ask is that I've been working on ironing out my wrist positions through impact and release, and I …

Re: Working on avoiding wrist collapse and getting arms extended in follow through

Thanks for the tip on the Jazzy Jeff video -- it's been a huge help. I've been focusing on 9-3 and 10-2 supination drills with the Jazzy Jeff follow through in mind (also the ping pong paddle release), and wow, it feels like I've really unlocked so…

Re: Working on avoiding wrist collapse and getting arms extended in follow through

I’m not sure if you think of it as a pivot drill, but the “armpit rope swing” drill was a real breakthrough for me in helping me understand how to use my lower body and core to power the swing. So when I practice or even out on the course, if I feel…

Wow, thanks for pointing out the strong grip -- until you mentioned it, I had not even realized how my grip has been slowly leaking in that direction in the last several months. I just watched the "Strong Grip & Low Point Issues" video, and it …

Working on avoiding wrist collapse and getting arms extended in follow through

  By: Gene P on Sept. 1, 2022, 6:53 p.m.

Hi Tyler,
I commented in another thread about how I'm trying to get better extension of the arms in follow through, as a means to better supination. Also that I've been trying the "tee in the glove" drill to get better visuals on whether my wrists …

Thanks Tyler, great advice. I'll work on these and reach back out if I have more questions.

Motorcycle with driver

  By: Gene P on March 17, 2022, 10:56 a.m.

The last few weeks, I've started to work on hitting a draw with my driver. Prior to that, I had been mostly hitting a slight fade with decent distance, but sometimes I found myself getting the path way too much outside-in and slicing drives, and lo…

Re: Scottie Scheffler swing analysis?

  By: Gene P on March 8, 2022, 6:16 p.m.

Ok sounds good. No rush -- I know you have a lot going on right now!

As far as my take on Scottie's swing, I just see a lot of movement that looks like lunging and heaving during the swing, and it seems very un-Tour-like if you know what I mean. B…

Scottie Scheffler swing analysis?

  By: Gene P on March 7, 2022, 12:57 p.m.

Tyler, was wondering if you might do a swing analysis of Scottie Scheffler some time. I don't really love his swing, but it seems to the naked (amateur) eye that he does some unique things. So would be interesting to hear your take and insights on…

Re: How my path feels when trying to fix early extension

  By: Gene P on June 18, 2021, 4:28 p.m.

Thanks Tyler. I've been continuing to practice this week, and wanted to share 3 videos with you if you don't mind taking a look:

  1. The first video was taken at the same time as the original down-the-line video from earlier in the thread. Again my f…
