I really like this lesson because it takes a swing that appears to be almost flawless and shows that not only do the eyes misinform the observer when things are too fast to distinguish but that changes for the better can occur, and evidence of the change can be seen, when the swing is looked at in detail in slow motion.

We have seen Justin’s swing improve by leaps and bounds over time but I thought this was an interesting lesson because you don’t usually see drill swings produce exactly the changes you are looking for. When you have spent most of your golfing life swinging poorly as Justin has there are things late in the swing that you just aren’t going to have any clue about doing correctly. Now, however, he is in such better position approaching impact that he has a chance to drive his right side through the impact area and perhaps produce better contact and some sustain…

Joseph is a solid Division 1 player, having played in the starting 5 in every tournament for the University of Kentucky and ranking 37th in scoring average in the conference. Joseph has designs on pursuing golf after college, and between he and his father, Jack, have decided that in order to have a realistic chance at success he would have to improve, which his record, while not shabby by any means, definitely indicates. The problem is that these days (just look at Q-School scoring) shooting 73 gets you lapped (both Lenny Mattiace and Camilio Villegas shot 73 in the 5th…

Watching Georgia’s swing at regular speed you can tell from her smooth, aggressive tempo that she is strong and athletic and has worked on her swing mechanics, especially in her backswing. When she hits it fat and thin with such a good looking action it would be no surprise to me to hear the random viewer comment that her poor ball-striking would indicate that she was somehow mentally deficient, more specifically that she was “thinking too much” or that she was trying to be “too mechanical” and wasn’t “keeping it simple”. Such nonsense is par for the course from people…

After you watch this video, be sure to go back and watch the first “Student Lesson” with Brian that we did in early June. I have seen Brian once in between these two pieces, and what is apparent is something that holds true in general when teaching decent players who want to get to the next level. Depending on how long they have been playing (and fighting the limitations of their technique) we usually end up working on the same things for at least a few lessons.

With Samyra the battle has been to get her to lean the shaft forward at impact with her irons, and here you can see the problem that exists in her first couple swings. We have focused on this in the past, but I always say that the lesson (any lesson) starts with the swing the student brings, and in this case it was obvious what we had to work on.
