Online Students: Ryan Groves Part 3

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Ryan is an archetypal member of this website: an avid golfer in search of ideas beyond the stock instruction offered by most teaching pros and media outlets, he stumbled upon my swing analysis videos on YouTube and joined the site almost immediately. Ryan has an interesting back story (you can look it up on the website under “My Goals and Aspirations”) as his biological father was a mini-tour bum (not meaning to be harsh: I was one of those for a while myself) and he was disinclined to have anything to do with golf when he was young. As it…

Online Students: David Russell

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Hi Wayne, Thanks a lot for the email and for doing a review of my swing. I love the website. As obsessed as I am with golf, it’s the only golf website I pay money to be on. It’s been really helpful in terms of learning about my own swing. So, thank you. I’m 31 now and have been playing golf occasionally since I was a kid, but didn’t really commit to it until about 3 years ago, when I started taking regular lessons, did a visit to the Leadbetter Academy, and began going to the range 3 days a…

As Seen on TV: Brandel and Bobby Jones on Swing Thoughts

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

Here we have Brandel making his predictable comments on the benefit of having “no technical swing thoughts” while watching Angel Cabrera warm up on the range at Augusta. My point here, and one that Bobby Jones makes as well in his article “Day to Day Adjustments”, is that all golfers need to come up with a few swing thoughts (call them swing “keys” for lack of a better term) in order to quantify the feelings that work and that the golfer would like to remember and repeat. Chamblee is at his over-simplistic worst here, suggesting that the average golfer, with…

Online Students: Allie Economou

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Allie is a junior in high school who has played some golf, but quit for a while and is now getting back into it. Her brother, Tommy, plays for Rice University and her father, Michael, is a student of the game and a fan of the website and is working with both of them. He sent me Allie’s videos to analyze after my work with Tommy’s swing had some success.   I really like Allie’s swing for its aggressiveness. It is becoming somewhat prevalent in women’s golf to see slow backswings and less than catchy transitions, but Allie does not…

Lesson of the Week: Austin Lyons

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Austin Lyons is fascinated by the golf swing. He doesn’t get to play as much as he would like, but the attempt to master the technique that only a few are capable of drives him to practice, and to explore means of improving. Austin has been to other, more well- known instructors, but has found his way to my site and is happy to drive the 4 hours from New York City to come down for a face to face. Austin’s problems stem from a fairly typical pattern of movement wherein he keeps his upper right arm up and back…
