Lesson of the Week: Marc Shapiro: Fixing Overly Inside Takeaway has Huge Benefits

By Wayne | Videos , Videos: Lesson of the Week

Marc has recently seen deteriorating ball striking, which led him to Osprey to have me take a look.  Watching Marc’s swing I saw that he was doing a nice job at some of the most difficult things to teach, sequence and transition.  However, his takeaway was too close to the ground and behind him with the additional problem of standing up, and as a result his entire right side was overturning with too much hip turn and his right arm getting well behind him at the top.  By using a shaft to keep the clubhead outside of his hands in…

Playing for Money: Aaron Wilson- Working on an On-Plane Takeaway and Less Flippy Impact

By Wayne | Videos: Playing For Money

Aaron is a professional playing the Minor League mini tour here in Florida, and two of my older students took a liking to him and set him up with a couple of lessons with me. He has had some good results in the past, but he reports that he is quite erratic in scoring mostly due to his ball striking, especially with the driver. He is thin but quite strong and has a fast swing, and he wanted an opinion on his general technique to see if he could become a more consistent ball striker with trajectory control of his…

Student Lesson: Ben Lieberman

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Here is a new young student of mine named Ben Lieberman. Ben is a good size kid and can play well having won his club’s Jr. Championship. His dad was a bit suspect of his technique and thought it could be improved so Ben could become an even better player. In this video we see that Ben has some things I really like to see in a swing; deep hips, compression in the backswing, etc. Ben also came in with a strong grip and tight, locked-up, arms at address and the tight arms would prove to be a bit of…

Student Lesson: Jared Kenworthy

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Jared has been a member of the web site for a while now and has created a nice series of videos that he posted in the forum documenting all the hard work he’s done on his swing, check them out if you haven’t seen them yet. Jared used the information on this site, a few online lessons, a lot of motivation, some self-analysis and plain old hard work to build himself a very nice swing. In this video Jared actually made the trip out from Kansas for business and decided to drop by Woodmont for an in-person lesson, which was…

Lesson of the Week: John Alper

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Here we have a perfect example of the need for technique to go along with athletic ability when it comes to hitting a golf ball. John excelled at many sports as a kid and still remains in top condition while working as a television producer. He has come to golf late and has played some but has found it to be more difficult than he ever imagined, so much so that he has not been able to enjoy playing due to extremely inconsistent and generally poor ball striking.

Lesson of the Week: Derrick Montford

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

This video, which actually comprises two lessons given three weeks apart, is a perfect example of the need for video analysis and the difficulty that even the most diligent students have in incorporating changes into their swings. Derrick is a smart, capable player who understands what he is trying to do and practices to that end. Alas, as is often the case, the player’s feel does not equal what is actually happening.
