Have you ever wondered why Tiger Woods is better than Phil Mickelson? I can sum it up in two words: better mechanics. Phil is a great player who plays far beyond what his swing should produce. To put it simply, Phil has poor mechanics. Without going into detail for this piece let’s just say that […]

Siggy sends his swings in from Iceland and as you can see there is a golf season there. He wrote a nice note to go along with the swings, so I am going to let you read that instead of me paraphrasing. I think it will be interesting for you to read his comments and […]
Continue readingOk. Just watching the PGA. Furyk just left his putt on 15 6 feet short. Dufner hits the 3 wood off the fringe to a foot and a half. Furyk for the par. It would seem like he has to make it, although history tells us anything is possible. Furyk is the ultimate grinder. Nails […]

There seem to be more and more guys like Kokrak playing their way onto the Tour, extra- large physically while being technically sound with a fluid motion that produces what appears to be effortless power.

I think this is one of the best swings on Tour right now. Of course, I am biased toward the technique characteristics that I like to teach, but hey, this is all just my opinion anyway. The one thing that Kevin does that I would say is a flaw that he needs to work on, […]

Jonathan is an Air Force jet pilot who loves golf and is just starting to have some time to devote to getting better. You will see that he is a hard worker as he has made tremendous improvement over the two months since his first online lesson, especially where it is most important, at impact. […]

Boo is one of the more interesting characters on the PGA Tour, and his swing demonstrates quite a few things that I like to focus on when teaching players of all levels. A couple of things that I would probably not teach (but wouldn’t change in player of Weekley’s caliber) are his strong grip and […]

Jeff is from Louisiana but has been living in China for the past 15 years or so, and stopped in for a lesson last week while visiting friends in the area. To the eye Jeff’s fast, aggressive swing has good lines and seems all in order. Jeff knows from experience, however, that his ball striking […]
