Here is an example of some of the good questions they are receiving and the answers they are providing:
Recently, I have been closely looking at many PGA tour players swings and have noticed a few things. The first is that all of them have their left wrists completely flat at the top, whereas mine is not. My next observation is their right elbows are free from their hips/side. Whereas mine is on my hips/side. What can I do to fix these two problems?

Sean: Position of the left wrist at the top of the swing, in most tour players is relative to the starting position of the wrists or the grip itself. Those that have a neutral or borderline weak grip would have a flat left wrist at the top. Golfers with strong grips, Fred Couples for example, have pocket in their left wrist at the top of the swing. Remember, there is a direct correlation between the left wrist and the clubface.
The connection of the right arm to the body should only be in the armpit area. Watch the tour players right elbow follow their ribcage as they make their move away from the ball. Before it gets to the top it separates from the left elbow and gets farther from the body. It reunites with the bottom of right ribcage on the downswing. If your right elbow is stuck to your side, free it up a little and let it go. There are a lot of differences in the tour player swings from the waist up, many more similarities from the waist down.
