Uncompensated Stroke

[Bagger Lance]

Does "uncompensated' refer to a stroke that controls the Clubshaft, Clubhead and Clubface; a stroke that includes the Essentials and Imperatives; not mixing Hitting and Swinging ; or, What is not varying?

Doc,

You've netted it out but its much more than that for the instructor or a self-guided golfer.

The 24 swing components need to be analyzed and fitted based on your selected stroke pattern. Each component will be fitted and must match the other selected components for your pattern. Where there is incompatibility or lack of mastery in a component, there are compensations.

My time with Yoda, Ted, Jeff Hull, and Steve Ferguson has been amazing. Their trained eyes can do a quick body scan of the entire motion and target component areas that are creating compensations within minutes if not sooner. It's great to see them all together as they look at a swing motion and in unison key in on specifics without video for reference.

It's pretty easy seeing problems with most golfers, but others have very nice swings so it can be a challenge spotting problem components. They can all do it quickly.

It's much more difficult taking the self guided route to find your own incompatible or problem areas, but it can be done with a lot of self study and video. Even then, a trained eye will blow you away at how quickly they find something you've overlooked.

Even those who have matched components fairly well still struggle. At the TOUR level you commonly have to spot unmastered MATCHED components and work on making them more PRECISE.

You've probably noticed that Yoda hasn't been posting as much recently because that is exactly where his trained eye is focused these days.
