yeah, think so. I guess he studied under Mike Labuave long time ago, who was a Hardy guy. Was watching some of his videos helping people and seemed like good stuff. Good to get a break from all these extreme rotation, side bend guys.

set for life, living the high life in only a couple years of playing on tour. He could retire if he happens to lose status and have someone help him do investments with some of the money. Would probably make money quicker that way now.

I was looking at his PGA Tour profile yesterday. Guy has made some money, made like 14.5 million in past couple years on the tour. This doesn't including sponsorship money he has made either.

I work on changes by hitting balls at slower speed into my net to really get a feel for it and take video to confirm what I'm doing. If I can't do it at slow speed, then not much chance of it happening doing it fast. Once I have it down somewhat on video, I then ramp up the speed into my net to see if anything changes. After that, I take it to the range and see how it does with real ball flight. I used to go directly to the range when working on changes but buying buckets of balls to work on changes got expensive that way and ball flight can get in the way.

Anyone ever follow this guys stuff? I remember him from years back but he recently came across my instagram feed and been watching some of his newer instruction. Don't think I've heard him mentioned on the forum much.

get the green flexbar and do the exercises with it. I had some tennis elbow many years ago and this fixed it.

I’ve lifted for over a decade, I’ve done it all. If all you got out of what I said was 1 rep maxes and not lifting at all then I’m not sure what to tell you.

lifting is great but you have to keep in mind that there are tons of people injured by squats, rdl, military press etc. and much more serious injuries from the excessive force. These are very hard exercises to perform correctly and even then there is risk of injury. Don’t buy into the good form=risk free because it’s not true. Lifting and being active is very good for you like you said. I’m just more careful in what I do in the gym.

yeah, most am’s are pretty much square at impact with hips so swinging out to right like you are open 45 will probably cause some issues.

Looks like he was trying to flatten his swing, was crazy vertical before based on those gif’s you posted.

Tried it and didn’t do anything to my hips. This lady must be playing along or he used some type of hypnosis.

I haven’t watched much of it either. He was going to Monte for a while years back on his channel. From what I remember Monte was trying to fix his over-swinging.

That’s most likely why non of the changes stick after seeing all these instructors. He gives up on them because probably makes him a worse golfer, takes times for changes to become natural. I know a lot of people who are scratch with completely ugly swings; EE, across the line, over-swinging etc.

I see Bryson doing sort of the same thing, always blaming his equipment. I saw him hit balls in 2023 and noticed how high, spinny and the amount of draw he hits the ball. I didn’t know how he controlled it in competition and have mentioned it a few times on here. It’s his swing that’s causing those issues but he tries to fix it with equipment. Haven’t looked at his swing much but he gets way across the line and swings so much in to out. Most of the time his divots are even pointing right. Add into the fact he’s swinging out of his shoes. He’s now trying to get a new ball that doesn’t curve on him, he was even messing around with a non conforming ball recently and liked how straight it went for him.

something happened with their email reminders starting last year or two. I guess this has happened to quite a few people. I don’t get the email reminders anymore so I’ve missed even applying past two years but had applied for at least 10 years in a row and never got tickets. Checked my profile and nothing to fix. Haven’t done anything suspicious either, like creating multiple accounts. My sister signed up like 10 years ago as well to try getting tickets but nothing wrong with that.

he does club fitting for his job.

Lol, I only watched 30 seconds of it. Kind of reminds me how pga tour players will practice sometimes with a putter that is a totally different feel than their gamer. Then when they go back to the gamer, they can feel the clubhead much better. In the same way, he does these super weird moves to get a feel of the clubhead again. Has nothing to do with the actual technique. I can hit a ball decent doing all sorts of strange things.

I’m still trying trying to learn how my 13 year old nephew throws a spiral on every football throw when we play catch. I’ve asked him how he learned and he said he wasn’t taught anything. Asked him if he watched YouTube videos and he said no. Says he just does it. I tried getting him to teach me but he just “does it”. So, that kind of blew out of the water that things like athletic motions don’t come naturally to some, especially young.

I think the most difficult shot for the am golfer is the low flighted wedge.

Few years back some friends and I at a tournament watched Brian Harmon hit I’m guessing a 7 iron short distances all the way up to full distance aiming at different flags. Was impressive the control he had. For me, one time I played a round swinging my wedge shots at like 60% effort. Was interesting because the flight lowered and they actually went farther by a decent amount. I’m thinking because I might have been hitting the ball lower on the face with the slower, smooth swing.

Charge them like 50% for no show, bet that stops pretty quickly and get paid money for doing nothing.

Yeah, I have seen those TPI vid's of Greg Rose showing people who EE to pressure trace basically out to in vs. in to out with EE. I think that pressure trace will actually make one fade it if you start to have a trace like that but maybe need the exaggeration at first. I've tried it and starts to get fade biased for me, prefer more linear.

regarding just pressure plates, I went to some facility in Chicago around 2013 or so that had every gadget available for you to use. I think it was setup for instructors to rent and help their students, I just wanted to get on a trackman to see some stuff I was working on with my instructor. However, while I was on trackman I was hitting push shots which was sort of my miss under this instructor. Tried out the pressure plates they had, which also had a dual view camera setup (dtl, face on) and noticed my pressure trace was in to out. Had no idea what I was doing but worked on making my pressure trace more linear which fixed the push shot and got me staying in posture better. I remember being pretty happy seeing the ball flight straighten and the camera angles looking so much cleaner on my rotation and posture just by working on my pressure trace.

SnT did that. I mean seems to work ok for short irons at least.

what Scottie is saying is pretty much what any sports psychologist would tell their players, I would think.
