A couple 9 irons swings from yesterdays practice session. We will get rotated!
I’m back working on my game again with my focus to get better, but mostly to just keep the neck healthy. I’ve got too much positive lateral force - causing my upper to ‘hang back’ and making it difficult to rotate through impact. This then requires me to back out a little to deliver the club with a strong release - something that I’m pretty good at most of the time, but when the timing is off it’s really bad. More so this causes the neck flareups and then sidelines good golf again.
I asked Christian () to take a look and experiment with me. Having a new set of eyes and a fresh look almost always brings new ideas. In this lesson we worked on taking away some of the positive lateral (yes, sometimes you can have too much GRFs if it’s the wrong matchup) and turning it into torque force - the rotational forces.
Goals - using our force plates , keep positive horizontal around the 20% of bw, but don’t let it get too high (30%). Feel centered in backswing, downswing starts with lowering of left shoulder, max torque force from ground to create big ribcage rotation, get head to release.
The feels are absolutely crazy to me - I feel like I’m just turning around my lead leg and then chopping down on the ball. Obviously that’s not the case, as I’m still in tour average for positive lateral even though I feel like I don’t even push with my trail side. But, the Torque spikes, the AoA comes down, the path neutralizes and spin gets more appropriate (higher for me).
Now, to be honest after this session my body yelled at me....but not from my neck. It was from my low back and adductors. Not surprising, these were areas that I hadn’t been using in the swing. So, I’ve focused the gym work around this and the last week the swing has been feeling pretty good. I like this strategy a ton right now. I feel that good golf is right around the corner.
Still on the list to fix is the ‘long’ backswing. It’s more of a strength issue with the arms/wrists that cause that club to wrap around.

New logo. New focus. More personal.
This is the new FaustyGolf going forward — helping golfers get better, get stronger, stay healthy, and enjoy this game more. You’ll still get an inside look at Game Plan Golf Performance and my students’ progress, but now paired with more of my own training, my own game, and life in general.
New look, same purpose. Let’s go.

Last week I upgraded my iron shafts to the UST Mamiya Golf Shafts Recoil Dart 105 F5. I had been struggling lately with the heaviness of my C-Taper build and needed something I could feel better in the swing. After a fitting with my guy Vail Golf Academy and trying the Recoil Dart, it was amazing. I feel the head in the swing so much better and I’m able to make slight adjustments in the swing when needed. It’s been over a decade of using C-Tapers! But, early feedback has been amazing with the Recoil Darts and I’m really happy with the build!
After a couple days of practice I put them in play - day 1 at Shadowridge and hit 16 greens on my way to a -2 and day two at La Costa South with another -2. It’s been a while since I’ve been under par, so that early feedback is super exciting.
While my swing speed is still there, at 45 years old now the wear and tear from the heavier and bulkier C-Tapers were adding unnecessary wear and tear on my body, specifically my neck.
Shoutout to Hose for opening my eyes to UST shafts 💪🏻 and Coastal ClubWorks for the shaft swap
Been grinding on my swing recently, working to develop a repeatable pattern that keeps me healthy and playing good golf. Might have found something that works, here’s a driver from a warmup today. Surprised myself with speed but I’m liking the trend. Golf is a crazy game.
