Hi Bergin,

Sorry for the delay, I gave a speech to a group of instructors at the TPI Summit this past weekend and I was busy prepping for my presentation.

I’m glad you added the second clip of videos (DTL) as well as the broader description. I w…

Thanks for posting the face on and DTL views of the swing. They provide more help.

I like the idea of chasing improved contact, we just want to make sure that the component we’re training will have an influence on our miss pattern. With contact, I…

With the tai chi move, I’d try to keep the shoulder blades closed a little longer, that’s why when you …

Zach,

Question 1: That angle between the femur and pelvis changes depending on the movements of the backswing. I haven’t seen it as a specific measured angle on a 3D system. It would be influenced by a few movements (flexion/extension, abduction/a…

But yes, I see the same thing, I think the arm behind is happening early. I’d be curious to see the DTL…

It’s easy to get all over the place in this game. I think that’s why it’s important to have a road map …

Zach,
Yes, the shoulder retraction would happen after impact. After maximum arm extension in the follow through, so well after the wipe. It would be part of the bracing that would help you feel the tug of the club.
Happy Golfing,

I think the ultimate goal is to have an adaptable swing. Your question, “how do I swing when I’m sore” could easily branch into “how do I swing when I’m stiff?” “when my balance feels off?” “when I have a harder time focusing or feeling things…

Sjahari,

It sounds like it could be a release issue, please post a video of your swing so we can investigate it. You can also post the hack motion graph that accompanies the swing. That will give us even more insight.

Glad the picture help you visualize the wipe. Good luck!

Zach,
Yes, one thing I’ve learned is to trust the swing more than I trust my feels. I never assume I’m doing something because I’m thinking about it, I always verify with video or mirrors to make sure it’s actually happening. A little bit of hands o…

I don’t know if it’s complete, but it seems to get simpler for me rather than more complex. So it makes me feel like I’m on the right track :)

Zach,

Yes, that sounds like an accurate description. I hadn’t heard Tiger’s description of his trunk turning after impact. Do you have a video or article? I believe you, and I think it’s a great description for many, but I always try to validate s…

Hi Gabriel,

This is actually common. All things being equal, shallowing does move the low point backward. With the driver, it usually means that the arms are too involved in the release, here’s a quick little video showing what I mean.

Flat spot…

In that first position, what you feel will depend on your body. I think the majority of people feel more of the stretch on the lead side rather than the contraction on the trail side. But if it is the trail side the contraction moves like a wave fro…
