Fewer words are always the wish of the student. Using the P system is easy to learn and you get to use fewer words.

Another fun clinic in the books at Encino with Ayumi Hori, PGA. This snippet from a previous one.

I probably wouldn’t believe it unless I had the videos.

Stack & Tilt Golf teaches you how to add distance.

Most people will look at these 2 pictures--one in 2020, and one last week--and say "well, swing your swing, it doesn't really matter, she won with both of those."

The only problem with that is if a tour player wants to know why they're hitting it bad, they're gonna look back and you, and you have to have something to say. You cannot say swing your swing, you've won Olympic gold, won 19 times.

No amount of reading their resume to them will untangle them from hitting it bad.

The highest caliber players are just like everyone else. They have specific misses and they want to know why. They will look at both of these pictures and wonder which might is best and they're gonna ask you about it.

They don't WANT "whatever works" or to "swing their swing," nor will that help them. Their swing isn't working at that moment.

There is specific logic behind both these pictures. Most of that logic is built on the p1 left hand attachment. Point being, you have to have an opinion, and to have an opinion, you need a detailed model. 💡

Back in April I posted a pic of Nelly's wrist condition changes over the last couple years.

More p4 bow in the lead wrist leading to a more laid off look.

Funny she said this was the change she was trying to make mid-tournament at the Open.

Personally I think of the lead hand attachment more than the trail hand when it comes to p4 dorsi or palmar flexion.

A fun convo with this morning 🙌

A sharp student will start to piece things together and ask the really hard questions. I get the jollies when that happens.

Those who look deeper for answers usually end up in the zip code of Mac, Andy Plummer, TGM.

The last video was taken at 11:55 PDT. The swing before at 11:51; the one before that at 11:47, and the Texas player at 11:44.

Every 4 minutes there was a short finish broadcast. And I didn't even record all of them. There were more.

Not to mention the time for putting and advertising and you'd likely see a short finish every 2 minutes.

Golf fans don't notice this because they aren't really studying it and collecting data.

The question isn't why a short finish; it's the opposite.💡

Nice job Doc moving hips forward.
The purple trace of her right hip before resembled a dot, which told me that it wasn’t moving and was serving as her pivot point.

Pushing hips fwd and up, and eventually the eyes and C spine extension, resulted in higher and farther shots, hitting more out and less across.
