Lesson of the Week: Richard Kress

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Richard has been a dear friend for over 25 years, and we share an affection and obsession with the swing of Ben Hogan.  When we work it is always with Hogan in mind to some degree, and over the years Richard has reminded me to return to Hogan when I have gotten into trouble with my own game.  In this video you will not only see how Richard’s swing is progressing, but you will also see a detailed look at how I view Hogan’s swing and use the knowledge of what he is actually doing to try to help my students.  I think you will find my observations of Hogan to be unique and fascinating, and I believe that the application of his techniques can be incredibly helpful to masses of people with swing characteristics such as Richard’s, that is the butt and knees under and shaft steepening transition that dooms the pivot to pull up and back through impact, making impossible the wish to produce a solid, compressed strike.
