Why would he need to add muscle mass to have core strength? There are some very long hitters on tour and in college who weigh under 160 pounds.

It’s a bit of a long story and I will get into it when things are finalized. There is a bit of flux going on right now.

I found the TPI physical assessment to be extremely helpful in my exercise planning. It’s good stuff and if you want to play better golf (and feel better physically) then you should seek out a TPI health professional.

Your “Countdown 10,000″ comment on May 31, indicates you may leave or have left Columbia Edgewater Country Club. Did you intentionally change your practice location to your new instructor’s club or is there something more behind this move?

Hey Dan, just stumbled upon your site for the first time and I have a question, are you supplementing your golf practice with strength training? Your swing is making fantastic progress, but I’m afraid that unless you gain some serious muscle mass you will never have the core strength that will allow you to hit the ball far enough to play competitive golf. Just a question/suggestion/comment I had after browsing the photos and videos on your site. Keep up the good work.

At setup, the heel of the leading hand points down with the back of the leading hand facing the target. At impact with the air bag, the heel of the leading hand not pointing down with the back of the leading hand facing perpendicular to the target to the front. Why is there such a big difference between setup and bag impact? Hard to tell from here. Perhaps scooping, or perhaps choking off the release to prevent injury? Perhaps the heel pad of leading hand does not press down on the leading side of the club handle during setup as per Hogan’s leading hand grip configuration? Hands swinging too far out? Lack of releasing? Releasing late? When the leading hand, as well as the trailing hand, at impact is similar to at setup, the clubface angle at impact will become similar to the clubface angle at setup.
