Peter Kostis is, well, he's not the first guy I'd choose to analyze anyone's swing. Let's put it that way.

We've gotten away with hits almost that bad in our no-checking D League hockey. Lame. Let's not go so far to protecting the head that we get stupid now, ok NHL? Update: The NHL properly reversed the call the next day. Letang won't be on the hook should he actually get a game misconduct later […]

97% at Rotten Tomatoes? 92% Audience rating? Seriously? I liked it, but 97%?! That's astronomically high. On a pure percentage scale, I give it a 70% or so, meaning I like it more than about 70% of the movies I've ever chosen to watch. 🙂 The most interesting part of the movie was almost trying […]

Kostis doesn't say much in this video, so he doesn't get as much wrong as he often does. 🙂 The point I'd like to make here is that THIS is about the only foot slipping you occasionally see with rubber or plastic spikes instead of the "nails" (ceramic or metal spikes) we used to wear […]

Mike would rate himself at about a 7 or so out of 10. He loses the wedge, sometimes flips under a bit at P2, and has a few other tiny issues, but overall it's really, really good. Filmed at the Country Club in Cleveland, OH when I attended a session to observe, work with, and […]

This video isn't meant to demonstrate anything except the very simple idea that the right (or rear) knee straightening allows your hips to turn. If you "maintain the knee flex" your hips can't turn properly. This is related to this post on Phil Mickelson's swing as analyzed by Peter Kostis.

This story made news recently: No Pay, No Spray Firefighting Case. Basically, a guy didn't pay the $75 fee for rural fire coverage, and as such, firefighters did not put out his trailer or house on fire. It is what it is, and the policy has apparently been in place for a long, long time. […]

I could brake faster (I prefer to do this drill with softer hands and wrists so that you can't fake maintaining the flying wedge), but this drill combines two into one: Pre-setting impact position with the hips shifted laterally forward to put in secondary axis tilt. "Hit fast, stop fast" to check that the flying […]

The problem I later fixed in this swing is that the right shoulder "shrugs up" and the right arm stays a bit too straight a bit too long, leading to the shoulder "flattening" around P3-ish. But still, if you can hit golf balls with a driveway marker in your belt, it's a great way to […]

Camilo demonstrates how much he shifts this plane line to the left - I would say far too much - in order to hit his pulls and pull-cuts or slices. Camilo has a lot of talent. It'd be nice to see him get this under control.

This is the time I got on The Golf Fix. I'd submitted a question on Facebook and Michael Breed answered the question. In truth, the full question was: I'm curious about something, Michael, and I hope you can address this in Monday's show. What determines where the ball starts? Nick Faldo gave advice in Hawaii […]

Phil does not maintain his "posture" and he does not keep the same flex in the left knee. You can see at impact how much across the ball Phil hits this ball. Believe me, there are things Phil can fix in his swing, but "maintaining the flex in his left knee" is not among them.

Fax is "stackin' a little bit" at the end. Elk is an information gatherer and has basically moved on. Wish Johnny didn't draw that line in there. 😉
