I have a couple questions in regards to ball position, how far to stand from the ball, and grip size.

I was wondering what variable in the swings affects what ball position a player should use?  I am guessing it has something to do with swing anchor, swing linkage, or maybe a combination.

Another thing is I have heard you say in a video that the closer a player can stand from the ball the better, what variable determines how far a golfer should stand from the ball?

The last thing is what do you recommend when determining the grip size that a player should use?  I know hand size would be a big factor, but was also wondering how trail arm alignment/lead arm alignment would affect this.

Thank you,

1) There' speed training and Force Application Training and both can help you develop more speed.

2) Conditioning can help with creating more speed.

3) Using internal Kinetics to apply forces into the ground can create more speed.

4) Is it clubhead speed you need to improve or Ball Speed?  Many golfers have sufficient clubhead speed but low smash factors and therefore low ball speed for the given clubhead speed.  I prefer to help golfers improve the smash and smash factor first. And often they find they don't need more clubhead speed.

First of all I want to say you've made some great content. Thumbs up 👍 

I'm planning to follow your videos the entire season and practise what you preach. Will start with aim square/return square and build my swing up from there.

I have watched your videos for several hours and have a few questions:

1. I'm using clubs that are upright. My swing is a bit steep and I'm sure I need to flatten it. When I look at your irons it seems like they are flat? I imagine standard or flat lies are more suited to the swing you teach?

2. When I look at your transition in the downswing it seems like you swing more "over" than under (a bit more in front instead of behind you). Is this a correct observation or?

3. When you talk about the downswing, you mention a folding point (that's how I understand it) - is this where you start smashing? At what level does this folding point occur? Shoulder level, between shoulder and hip level, at hip level or later?

4. Do you feel like you toss the sole into the ground thru impact or do you focus more on where you finish the swing? As you mention - the ball is just in the way during a swing. Still most of us try to kill it with a hit 🙄 

Hope my questions make sense.

Thanks,
Peter
