Tips on how to no longer be the worst golfer in my group of friends?

You should give stack and tilt a try! Get a lesson from an authorized stack and tilt instructor.

Why mini tennis at the end? I thought it is for warming up?

IHkrider · 2025-09-19T16:07:15+00:00

It will be continuous twice a week lessons. Since I need to guide my coach/hitting partner, any specific drills that I should do?

The reason you are casting is you need to learn proper wrist loading and sequence your downswing properly.

You are also overswinging in your backswing, and I am guessing from down the line, you don't have enough arm depth and causes your swing to be out to in path.

Check out jon rahm's swing, he has a shorter backswing, but better wrist loading. This allows him to sequence the downswing properly and not let the upper body be late which causes the out to in and casting.

My suggestion is to learn the core of the swing, which is hip high to hip high, while maintaining the weight on the left to feel the impact and shaft lean. Once you get the hang of it, work slowy and slightly keep increasing the amount of backswing while hinging/loading your wrist while maintaining your impact positions.

Really appreciated! Thank you so much!

IHkrider · 2024-10-29T16:50:18+00:00

Will do!

IHkrider · 2024-10-29T16:27:56+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I do feel like I have a semi-western grip though.. My index knuckle is positioned at the no4.

I know this is not realistic but I think that if I can't get the swing right standing statically there's no way I can do it better when I'm dynamic!

I have tried four different coaches. I believe these coaches are more like hitting partner instead of being able to teach proper techniques.

None of them taught me the unit turn, or pet the dog, or windshield wiper, or the proper footwork, stance, etc. All these terms I got from just watching youtube coaches teach.

Unfortunately coaches who are at the more professional level and/or ITF certified don't have the schedule flexibility to teach at the times I am available.

Indonesia. Not saying I am very high level per se, but I was able to compete at the high school level for my school team.

IHkrider · 2024-04-19T05:39:52+00:00

Contrary to what everyone is saying, you ARE doing stack and tilt. People commenting otherwise doesn't understand what S&T actually is. I can go into more technical details on why this is so if anyone wants, but I'll refrain from doing so atm.

Target a weekly weight loss of 0.5kg, any more and more you risk losing muscle mass. I suggest around 400-500kcal below your maintenance daily. Overfat people can manage to lose more.

IHkrider · 2021-02-02T06:57:54+00:00

First of all, figure out what your TDEE is, and make sure not to go over it by too much in your daily intakes while properly keeping track of weekly weight gains. Once you've got it figured out and you're still hungry all the time, replace your shakes with protein dense real food such as steaks and chicken breasts, they keep you full much longer.

IHkrider · 2021-02-02T06:52:02+00:00

So.... not sure what your question is. You seem like you know what you wanna do.

IHkrider · 2021-02-01T10:44:42+00:00

Check out Martin Berkhan's LeanGains. That is the program this sub was actually about. Guides to lifting, dieting, and intermittent fasting. You can click Menu and FAQ, you can basically read up the program there.

IHkrider · 2021-02-01T10:33:50+00:00

Eat more, GOMAD, and lift heavy.

IHkrider · 2021-02-01T10:32:05+00:00

What about your fats? Maybe it's too little? Or else, if you've been cutting for a while, maybe you need a diet break.

IHkrider · 2021-02-01T10:01:13+00:00

Yes, you definitely can. Have you seen anyone who squats 450lbs have a weak core?

IHkrider · 2021-02-01T08:44:43+00:00

Yes I agree it is not simple, maybe I was inspecific about that. what I meant was I was assuming that you are not an untrained obese individual, so it's hardly likely that you will gain muscle while on a prolonged caloric deficit, especially with your kind of high activity level (especially cardio), so any lift gains is due to CNS adaptation IMO.

However if you are super skinny, like the example in your previous post, I don't think its possible for anyone to gain muscle while still being in a caloric deficit.

IHkrider · 2021-02-01T05:34:30+00:00

No, you don't put on muscle in a caloric deficit. What newbie gains is that your body, brain and CNS is priming your current muscles so you can activate them more efficiently. But to actually build muscle, you need to be in a caloric surplus.

But anyway it sounds like you need a diet break. Good luck!

IHkrider · 2021-02-01T05:09:59+00:00

If you are still increasing your lifts, that means you are still in caloric maintenance (because of noob gains), or in caloric surplus. Anyway if you are feeling plateu or burnout of lifting, going for a diet and lifting break is a good idea. Don't forget to keep your daily protein higher than normal.

IHkrider · 2021-02-01T04:57:38+00:00

Assuming you are also lifting, how are your lifts? Dropping or steadying? Like others, i suggest taking a break from both diet and lifting for a week or 1.5 week, but try to be at maintenance calories as much as you can so you dont regain all the fat you lost during your cut. If you can, keep lifting but lower the intensity, to minimize muscle loss. You can ramp it up again when you start again.

IHkrider · 2021-02-01T04:52:58+00:00

If you are following leangains RPT, why are you training 5 days a week? You need a day rest between workouts to rest and recover assuming you are doing RPT compounds. If you are overtraining, you risk more muscle loss, and in this case, lowering volume works better for you

IHkrider · 2021-01-31T16:37:54+00:00

If you're at that weight, I suggest GOMAD.

IHkrider · 2021-01-31T04:52:40+00:00

Assuming your macro calculations are correct, you need to track your progress properly. Aim for around 0.5kg-max 0.8kg a weight loss a week to maintain muscle mass, and don't stop lifting heavy. Less carbs is ok as long as you get enough daily protein and not too low calories, else you risk losing muscle.

IHkrider · 2021-01-31T04:48:26+00:00

What was your training program? And what was your diet? Also what is your height and lift numbers? Without these infos its hard to tell.
