Confession: I have no idea when I first broke 100, 90, 80, or even 70. I don’t remember my first par, birdie, or eagle.
I didn’t start playing until I was ~15. I just never thought those milestones were worth remembering. I was always focused on what came next.

Here are some before (Blue) / after swings from a new (to me) golfer. I've seen trail arms lowering before… I've never seen them actually go into extension! 60° turn, 125° elbow bend… Gold is from two swings later. Same clubhead speed, and I said "go slow!" 😀⚙️ #GetInGEARS

Good day, latest episode is out now for you to check out podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcas…
If you have any questions let us know.
A listener to @TheSpinAxis episode on the flat lead wrist (thespinaxis.com/ep82) had a question about my red and green paddle. So here’s the simple demonstration.

I didn't love this video from @MyTPI. If you say the "center of the pelvis" I don't think of a marker on the front of the pelvis where your belt buckle might be.
I like a grip that's perpendicular to the fingers and across the base of the fingers. Here's @JustinThomas34 gripping it "more in the palm" for a specific short game shot. Note how different even this slightly palmy grip is than most amateurs.

Koivun's swing is pretty freaking standard up until the early follow-through.
This longtime teaching pro says there are 3 “freak” swings that he’s never seen have success on the PGA Tour before that have won in the past 6 weeks and will be on display in Memphis in the playoffs. Story here: golfweek.usatoday.com/story/…

Hmmm.
Is being to the left side of the fairway a better angle? A bit, sure.
Should you aim for the left side of the fairway? Almost never.
@LouStagner, you were there… How often did you have your player aim left here? 😜 #Angles
I love hearing about golfers playing some of their best golf ever! This student is only a few lessons in, too. Congrats! – at Erie, PA
The Arm Shark 🦈 by @A_M_Golf is a new training aid coming out this Monday, July 28 (the start of 🦈 Week!). It’s going to help a lot of golfers with a common issue — over-bending the trail elbow. Here’s how it works. #PlayBetter #golf
If you show up to a lesson with your club(s) looking like this, you might be costing yourself strokes on the course.
Please, keep your clubs clean. 😜😊
It's sometimes said in golf instruction that "force precedes motion." Some believe there's a delay between when a golfer applies a force to the ground and when the ground pushes back.
Neither is true.
Here's a thread on the topic (re: a @MyTPI video):
thesandtrap.com/forums/topic…
I’ve never totally agreed that a proper draw or a fade don’t “cross the target line.” If you hit a draw that starts 12 yards right of the target and finishes 6 yards right of the target, that’s a *worse* shot than one that starts 7 yards right and finishes 2 yards left.
