Looking good! It might be a touch upper body dominant, but overall it's looking like some solid positions. Can you work it into bigger swings, or does it only work on 9-3's?

Yes, I think it can be a good metric in the right hands. If you are using it as a way to calibrate what movements help you increase the number and the timing. But I think many golfers would be surprised by what movements move the needle. It might be…

That's a good suggestion. I'll organize it this Sunday!

Unfortunately, with those devices, I would think of it more in terms of muscle activation and quality of movement. So I'd use the down under board if I wanted more adductor activation or help with deep core activation. I'd use a band if I wanted mor…

I'll do a few videos on it, but the quick summary is that, in my opinion, the GRF stuff is overdone in golf. It's something that's easy to measure, so there is a lot of capability to look at it easily. But I don't find the information that useful. I…

Well, if you have to track one stat nGIR by hand, it's probably worth it to help prioritize.

But it sounds like you have some clear goals. That's great! Now you have to break those global goals down into tangible goals. That's where you can plan h…

The band activates your glutes, the board helps activate your adductors. Two different ways of making you use less quads in the golf swing. One reinforces the posterior chain, one reinforces more of the anterior chain. So they are similar, but also …

Hi John,
I haven't seen an explicit connection between the wrist movement and the hand path. If you want to post a swing, I'd be happy to give it a quick look. Otherwise, if it's working, it's more important to get video so you have a good reference…

If you want to post a swing, or a drill swing, and talk through how to work on clubface squaring in your swing. The offer to help you still stands. Or, if you want to discuss alternative theories on why the drills on this site have given my student …

In the interim, if you want to post a couple videos of you doing step drills or lower body activation drills to the "help my swing" section, I'm happy to give you my 2 cents. It might help.

Since I'm not a golf theorist, my goal is to help golfers practically able the golf science theory to their own games. If the motorcycle move doesn't close the face, that's fine. I'm happy if a better theory comes up that explains why it works. But …

In simulating the on-course scenarios it's helpful to challenge and stress yourself. While you can explore feel, visual, rhythm as a way of organizing your pre-shot routine. In addition, you can reflect on how you store stress. Some people store str…

Hey Guy,

It seems that more of our members have some lower body questions. So I'll do a round of videos presenting some of my more common drills. I do use step drills a lot, but I also use drills to try to isolate the hip muscles from the knee mus…

Getting clear on your stats can help prioritize.

Tour pros average 12-13 GIR and 95% nGIR (within 20 yards). Scratch golf is about 9 GIR, so I give the rough guide of 85% nGIR for my golfers trying to get to scratch. The good rounds, they'll be cl…

It's hard to imagine that the year is almost over!

I've always thought that the important part of the goal-setting process is the process. For example, with my goals. I was able to play one round virtually pain-free (didn't have the time or capaci…
