Lesson of the Week: Alex Hooper

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Alex has been coming to Woodmont to see me every now and then for a few years now. His swing has improved, but he still suffers from some pivot problems which eventually cause him to approach impact both too steep with the shaft too far out away from him as well as too wide with the hands too far away from the ball when the shaft is parallel to the ground coming down. He has worked hard to gain hip depth in the backswing, and he has definitely done that, but he has also gotten into backing his head up…

Student Lesson: Kenny Engel

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

This is an interesting view of how I initially look at a swing, decide what items need the most attention, then go through different shots and drills to try to narrow down what the root causes of the problems might be. It is obvious from the first swings I show here that Kenny has issues with his sequencing, his path and his impact alignments, but it appears to me that the impact is much worse than the rest of the swing leading up to that point would suggest. In other words, I see many players who achieve an approach position…

Such nonsense is par for the course from people…

Student Lesson: Steve Bohreer

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

It is both surprising and gratifying when a student exhibits improvement in a short period of time. I never expect to see full swings incorporate the kind of major changes that are many times called for and suggested by my instruction. I like to see evidence of change when we use the video multiple times, but when there are combinations of things to fix up it is extremely difficult to put them together and make swings that show a large improvement in the overall motion and technique. That is what makes this video so special, in that Steve showed up…
