Thanks, you definitely touched on the question I had in my mind, which was: could playing this way cause injuries in the long term? With no margin of safety on end range of motion, basic intuition tells me that can easily accelerate wear &…

Thought people might be interested to see Bryson talking about the golf swing with Chris Como: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aeTZTMSZcw

Bryson starts talking about swinging with "end range of motion potential" @ minute 3:00 into the video. Tyler…

I love the analytic warm-up. Nearly every time I do it on the driving range, invariably I'll see one or two other golfers stop hitting balls and start stretching. I figure better to mind my own business than engage in a nerdy discussion ab…

I have been finding it fun to use the downtime to review old rounds to find areas of improvement and to build better course management strategies for future rounds.

I have some very general fitness questions, but figure who better to ask:…

Tyler,

Thanks for sharing those insights. That really helps to clarify things in my mind.

For fun, I dug up a recent scorecard (attached) along with a short anecdote of my own "non-elite" golf round which completely backs up your point …

It's an official stat kept by the PGA Tour, but I don't see it talked about beyond a very superficial level. The mental side of "bouncing back" - whether it's from 1 hole or a string of 5 holes - seems like a big grey area. I hear people commenting …

Is it just me or does the driving range at Stanford always seem to have a tailwind?

Trying this out for the first time...

I have been working to fix early extension with transition movements:

• more trail shoulder blade activation
• more elbow wipe
• and more turn through the rib cage

The issue is I'm now losing the ball right - wa…

When I first read that article, it actually made me think the content on the GSA website is more advanced & thorough, and maybe not as commonly known/understood in the golf instruction world as I had assumed.

Also made me respect But…

Guy - thanks for sharing that - it is certainly eye opening!

Comment about 95% of players use 1 club around the green starts at 30…

When chipping or pitching around the green, I often hear professionals say something like:

a) land the ball on the green and get it rolling as soon as possible.
b) most amateurs don't think and just automatically grab their most lofted wedge

But …

For downwind shots, would you get more roll due to the lower trajectory? I wonder if it's enough to meaningfully impact the 2:1 ratio effect...

One other thing that I have always wondered about modeling the impact of a headwind is:

Whether someo…

I'm curious what primary force is motivating the upper body to right side bend at such a high rate after impact - is it to counter-balance the momentum of the golf club in the follow-through?

This could be a really interesting thread.

My 2020 golf goal: Record two rounds of -1.5 Strokes Gained Off the Tee (or better)

It seems like a strange goal, but it wasn't random. In 2019, I used DECADE Elite to record stats (output of …

I find it fascinating to hear Tiger Woods talk about his hands. But what the heck does he actually mean?
