Danny Lee and Johnny Miller: Front Foot Flying

Watching Danny Lee at the CJ Cup (he finished 2nd) I noticed his leg action and immediately thought that it was similar to a swing I have looked at many times, Johnny Miller. The movement I reference here is the front foot, in these cases the left foot, sliding well to the left away from its original position as the hips continue to rotate aggressively just after impact. In Miller’s case his huge lateral pelvic drive along with his rotation move his left foot forward and left, while Lee, more of a squatty, right leg hold with less lateral movement…

Johnny Miller Thinks Steve Stricker has the Swing of the Future

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

Steve Stricker has had an amazing year considering he pared back his schedule a huge amount, only playing in 13 events but winning over $4 million dollars with four second place finishes and a bunch of other good results eventually qualifying for the President’s Cup team, which he played in instead of going on a long planned hunting trip. He played great golf again in the President’s Cup, and it is here that we have Johnny discussing Steve’s swing, suggesting that it is the one that young players should be emulating. His reasoning is, as usual, fairly simplistic and not…

Johnny Miller has Advice for Hideki Matsuyama

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

Matsuyama has played some great golf recently and performed well at the President’s Cup. His swing is quite noticeable for its exceedingly slow tempo going back and explosive acceleration coming through. As is usually the case, Johnny Miller waits for a player to hit a bad shot and makes a comment about whatever stands out as idiosyncratic about the player’s swing. No different here, as a shot left out to the right is caused, according to Miller, by Matsuyama’s abrupt transition. “He needs to smooth it out”, says Johnny, not understanding that Matsuyama’s tempo dictates that he utilize a less…

Johnny Just Doesn’t Get It

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

As long as Johnny Miller insists on saying stupid things about Tiger Woods I will insist on making these videos that point out his ridiculous statements. It is my contention that what Miller says is important, and that when he (unintentionally) misleads the viewing public on matters of swing technique I am doing those viewers a service by pointing out his errors and hoping that someday he will view one of these and see that he should stop carrying on about lowering during the swing. I mean, can I make it any clearer? I mean, Miller himself lowered a tremendous…

Johnny Miller Offers More Brilliant Swing Analysis

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

Yes, Johnny Miller was a great player, a major champion. Yes, he hit the ball (for a time) as well as anyone in his era. Yes, you would think he would know a ton about the golf swing and about the players who have been great in the past, and thus it would be educational to listen to what he had to say on the subject.

More Johnny Miller Swing Advice

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

Johnny gives priceless advice to Mickelson, Harrington and Kim, and educates us all on the Laws of Physics, according to Johnny, of course. I always think golf is really hard until I hear Johnny explain it. See, I thought it mattered where the face was aiming at impact, and I was also worried about the angle the club approached the ball from. Little did I know that all I had to do was return the shaft to 90 degrees to the target line at impact and I would start “driving it great”. Where are the rest of the announcers…
