TV is not a frontal lobotomy, golf edition
Recently, there's been a lot of "golf" you can watch on tv not Golf Channel, not anything coming from a multinational conglomerate, but by way of individuals and social circles.
There's the 3 things video that @iacas posted here, which was excellent. In addition, the 5SK videos that were included with the subscription was an excellent overview of 5SK, plus there were a couple of videos from Dana Dahlquist and a ton from Chuck Evans.
Here's an overview of the video goodies that you might have seen in your social media feed:
A limited number of the Top 100 Summit talks were available via Periscope (it only keeps videos for 24 hours, so not there anymore), Mark Broadie's was the best (if you want a copy, PM me), he really did a good job of encapsulating his book into an hour talk and it seems like he integrated some LSW like concepts into his presentation w/respect to decision mapping. Sasho MacKenzie's went way over my head, I'll have to revisit it.
The Open Forum 3 videos, which include 2 live lessons (Brian Manzella and Rob Houlding), 3 biomechanics lectures, a golf stats panel, skills acquisition panel and dog & pony shows from Trackman, K-Vest and Gears Golf. The most interesting parts were the Q&A portions of the panels, golf instructors were probably a majority of attendees, so the questions were practical. The last bit of Dr. Cheetham's talk about twist velocities where an instructor outlined his practical takeaways from Cheetham's dissertation was fun - he put up photos of two golfers and asked the audience who they thought had the higher twist velocity and the results were not what you'd expect. The skills acquisition panel gave some insight into practicing (internal vs external, block practicing) and TPI. @david_wedzik and @iacas were on the stats panel, but the Q&A portion, the questions weren't that interesting, actually, that was the shortest video. The live lessons were what you'd expect.
If you follow ggswingtips, George Gankas, you know that many of his juniors have crazy good swings so couldn't resist and signed up for the early bird deal for his new online video lessons site. So far, his videos on the full swing are very good, there's lots of great insights into many different aspects of the swing, especially what he said about the grip, shallowing and rotation. The site is more focused towards juniors and he also posted actual lessons with juniors.
Available soon will be videos in which Martin Chuck, Dana Dahlquist, Andrew Rice and Trackman Maestro present and also give lessons, but it's pricey and we'll have to see whether that's worth it or not. There was a Periscope of them giving a lesson to the same guy, but the video was very short and low quality.
And those are the ones I know of, bet there are some I missed. I'm not sure if I'm information overloading myself with all this content but it's certainly been interesting seeing more of what's out there, hearing different points of views, and getting more informed.
