Hi Matthew,

When deciding what to work on, I usually go off of how a swing looks, how a swing feels, and how a swing performs. I almost always start with some type of performance goal before recommending any technical change. It's more important f…

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm still figuring some of them out and how to teach their awareness better. But it's definitely on my radar of ideas I want to organize and promote.

Stay tuned,

Hi Jai,

For your question on early extension. I think looking at your pattern, it seems like your early extension is a lack of turtle shell. It looks like you are overusing your lower back instead of your abs. So it's the blend of late transition …

Yes, the release and transition are definitely intertwined, so they will often have shared breakthroughs. But overall, looks pretty good demonstration of the drill.

Happy golfing,
Tyler

Hi Jai,

You're welcome. Thanks for the kind words, glad you're enjoying it.

I think you have a good assessment of the situation. I'd work on the combo of early extension and flippy at the bottom. I'd probably tackle the early extension first in …

Hi Zach,

The squish the bug still looks like the core is disconnected from the lower body movement. Or rather, it's connected more in extension than it is through flexion/deeper core. Oftentimes I try to teach this concept through gym exercises fi…

Thanks for sharing, I'm thrilled you've gotten so much out of the program. Your videos reminds me of the Seinfeld episode with Kramer working on his game. Hopefully no whales in sight!

Happy Golfing,

It's a pretty cool tool. So far I'm happy with it.

The face on will help. With the chicken wing, as with most swing issues, you want to go at it directly, and then you want to go at it indirectly by working on the complimentary pieces. Some of the things that can compliment working on the chicken wi…

That hip pinch you demonstrated would come from a fair amount of pelvic tilt. It would be a strong recruitment of the hip flexors. That's likely why you would feel that movement in your lower back. It would also limit some of the hip movement on the…

Glad you got the video figured out, we were having some issues with the forum the last few weeks. We only just found out about it this week, but it should be fixed for now.

I agree that impact is looking better. More body turn. I think next piece m…

Hi Zach,

The red circle surrounds the lumbar spine and the lower thoracic spine. The hollow-back look you're noticing is likely a strong recruitment from the hip flexors in transition, possibly combined with some lower back muscles to help the trai…

Hi Zach,

I can see how you'd get the similarities with the sleepy time arms and the pee pee dance. I wouldn't say they are dead wrong, but could be cool feels to try with your swing. But one common thing that I see is that both are more distal to p…

Hi Matt,

Yes, sorry, we were having an issue with the forum that we didn't know about until now. But it seems to be fixed and working again.

Compared to the previous picture, your shaft is flatter and a little deeper. I think what gives it the lo…

Hi Zach,

For a lot of tour pros, it would be at the top of the swing, or just before it. In the attached axial velocity graph, you'll see the graph is positive the whole downswing, meaning that it's closing the entire time. The rate of closing fre…
