We don't have data on the shoulder blades, so the exact timing is tricky at best. I think if you look from down the target line, you can get a good sense of what the shoulder blades are doing. If the lead shoulder pulls, then that adds a steep. so g…

Thanks for posting your swing. It helps discuss what to work on. I always try to approach the path of improvement based on your specific tendencies. I know that topping your fairway woods is one of the potential issues to try and resolve. If we look…

I definitely think that arm position is better. Like you mentioned, check to make sure that you're not cheating with too much tilt, but I don't think you are based on that video. I could be wrong, but it looks like an improved pivot. Your rotation a…

Looks like it's going in the right direction. I'd try to get the unhinge to happen earlier. Also, from face on, we might be able to see if your cheating with axis tilt. But you're getting more of it. In the impact picture, you can see more of it. Th…

Hi Bud,

Good questions. You're thinking through things nicely. Yes to both. Early extension can cause a host of pains in the golf swing. By finishing more in your left heel/left hip, you're creating space for your arms (so they don't have to bend …

Good to hear the driver is better contact, now you can focus on the iron heel shot as the worst miss confidently.

The low point bowling alley is drill to help you calibrate the club movement. For some golfers, calibration drills work to fix proble…

Hmm, That's not a common place for pain from the golf swing. So I would definitely want to investigate the foot function to see if there is some underlying imbalance or dysfunction driving the pain. In order to really stress the joints, you would ha…

Definitely a tough game! But that's one of the things that makes it great.

Glad you posted, being your own coach doesn't mean you have to do it alone! There is definitely a learning curve to knowing your own swing and what to look for when you pla…

You're welcome to send in any questions. I'd rather have students/members who are engaged and trying to get better. But I think one issue is many golfers try to find a fix before diagnosing a problem. So I wasn't trying to be difficult, but my stude…

Good find Bud. Typically, if there is a different contact pattern with the irons and with the driver, then we have to look at more specific differences. It's less likely just a purely mechanical issue. So starting with some skill calibration is a go…

The neck is part of the spine, so it should follow the motion of the spine. The most common time that I coach neck tilts is near impact and into the follow-through (head on a pillow video and idea). Having enough neck tilt can help with the side ben…

Yes Guy,

I think more important than the amount of movement of internal/external is the intention of the movement and how it would activate different shoulder and core muscle connections. The graphic did make it look like a lot more movement than …

Hi William,

Yes, a stronger grip and more body rotation can create stability of the face. The only issue with using it vs flexion/extension is that it can cause path or low point challenges and provide fewer options on shots around the green (espe…

Thanks Bud, I'm hoping someday they'll have a search program to make it easier to find all the content that might help you. But yes, this one is a key component for a lot of heel dominant strikers!

Just following up on the other thread. In that thread, you mentioned struggling with heel contact, but in this thread, you are indicating getting less toe contact. Is contact all over the place, or just very different contact patterns for your irons…
