Lesson of the Week: Derrick Montford

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.

Ben Hogan’s Secret

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Anyone who has spent any time studying the swing of Ben Hogan knows about the “secret” that he allegedly came up with in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s that he suggested turned him from an erratic hooker of the ball into a ball-striking machine. The problem is that Hogan never really revealed exactly what he meant…

Playing For Money: Daryl Chappell

By Wayne | Videos: Playing For Money

Here we have a mini-tour player who has been struggling with his ball striking. Daryl played a few rounds with another of my students, Chris McCartin, and was impressed with Chris’s swing, so he decided to come up and have me check out his action.

Lesson of the Week: Richard Kress

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

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.

Lesson of the Week: Brian McCullough

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

In this 10 minute video you will see something that always gives me a thrill, and that is a student making a substantially different and better swing at the ball, and producing a hugely improved impact, all in an hour lesson.

Angel Cabrera: Old School Golf Swing Analyzed

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

In this video we look at Cabrera’s swing in all its free flowing, old school glory as he rips into the ball with gleeful abandon.

Lesson of the Week: Everett

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

This video consists of two lessons I gave my student, Everett, who drove down from Pennsylvania after watching a number of my swing analysis videos on Waynedefrancesco.com. Everett is an avid, almost obsessive golfer who has had huge struggles with his ball striking over the years in spite of seemingly doing all the right things, that is practice and take lessons.

Lee Trevino: Golf Swing Analysis

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Trevino controlled the ball as well as anyone ever, preferring a low fade with the longer clubs, and was a master with the wedge. What jumps out about his swing, other than his idiosyncratic alignment, is the massive bend he produces in his posture as he swings, which should have long ago put to rest the conventional notion that it is a good idea to “maintain posture” during the swing.

Bill Haas: Golf Swing Analysis

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Back in 2002 I was fortunate enough to have my choice of 6 Tour events to play in as a result of my victory in the previous year’s National Club Pro Championship. I chose as one of my events The Greater Greensboro Open, which was somewhat of a homecoming as I had attended Wake Forest for two years in the 70’s.

Testimonial: Don Mahaffey

By Wayne | Testimonials

Wayne, Thought you might like to know that Ryan has signed a letter of intent to play golf at Cameron University in Oklahoma. They are a D2 power having made the NCAA D2 championships something like 5 out of the last 10 years. Ryan won his district championships by 11 strokes and in 8 tournaments this spring his worst finish is 4th, with 3 wins and 2 runner up finishes. He is killing the ball. Takeaway right up the plane and although not perfectly square at the top, he’s not closed anymore. Most importantly he’s bought into the compression deal.…
