Hi Fred,

Getting to know your swing and your pattern is the first step. I agree with your overall assessment. Let me try to add a couple connections for you.

Control pattern:
At the top of the swing, your arms have worked more around your body (…

I personally like to have a little bit of versatility. So typically I would have slightly different grind styles for my lob wedge, sand wedge, gap wedge. Also, I sometimes switched out wedges for certain courses. I guess the real question is looking…

Yea, it's definitely a journey. If I had a dollar for every time my warm up was good and my round wasn't as good (or vice versa)!

As far as your question about choosing a model, height and build probably isn't a bad place to start. However, no two …

Hi Luis,

Welcome to the site, I'm glad you're enjoying it.

It looks to me like the loss of posture is helping you close the clubface. Looking at your video, I think we need to get a little bit of clubface rotation. Here's a couple of video to hel…

Hey Ryan,

Definitely an upgrade in your lower body action. I'd stick with it and keep it a high priority. It's probably an easier playing thought than working on the arm rotation at this point.

But, yes, the arm motion will help compliment the b…

Bending more from the hips can help create the slack to help create lag and shaft lean. Typically, if you start too tall, then you will have to throw the arms to reach the ball.

Yes, your hands would be a little bit lower if you bent more at the h…

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the comment. I do like to dig into the why and how of the body movements more than most. I'm glad when I hear that some golfers appreciate the depth! There are a couple things to comment on in your post. First, it's really har…

Hi Kevin,

That's a bit of a loaded question. If you want to post a video of your swing, I'll have a much better guess. There are a handful of reasons that golfers come over the top and what you feel depends mostly on what your pattern is now.

I t…

haha, good luck with the negotiations.

As far as your right issues, the forearms look somewhat better. So if we check your swing timeline, your club face isn't open at shaft parallel (p6). So that means the face is opening up between then and impa…

You got it! I have a number of videos on my list, so it'll probably take a few weeks, but stay tuned, I'll get to it!

Marc,
I've been meaning to do a video on hardpan lies for a while now. I'll get on it!

In general, you want to be a little shallower, move low point a little forward, and use a club that doesn't have the leading edge sitting too high off the ground…

Hi David,

Check out this video if you haven't already. https://www.golfsmartacademy.com/golf-instruction/analysis-husky-golfers/

A lot of huskier golfers appear to control the swing more with their lead arm. I'd definitely try the single-arm rele…

If you still have a submission credit, then you can still submit your swing. But we stopped selling new credits at the beginning of 2020. If you don't have a submission credit, then post your swing to the "help my swing" section of the forum for som…

Hi Steven,

My view on the backswing is that fix it first if there are BIG issues, but if it's a little off, then it's more likely a downswing pattern causing the issue. I don't think the backswing is bad enough to "cause" the steep issue.

I see …

Making some progress with the impact position. If it's feeling a little steep on the course then check the delivery position that relates to impact. It looks like your upper body might be lunging a little past the ball early to help get shaft lean. …
