Going into the Middle Atlantic Section Senior-Junior Two Man Team championship I had no particular reason to believe anything good was going to happen. I had been practicing more at my new job since the weather had been spotty and my schedule was not full, and I had seen some good things in practice, but my driving was still inconsistent and I was sporting two new Taylormade TP wedges and a new counter-balanced Spider Si putter which had not been tested in competition. I would not have played at all had it not been for my good friend Pat Coyner…

Tommy Economou plays on the Rice University golf team and came to me via his father, Michael. This is the first email I received from Mike, and the video is my first analysis of Tommy’s swing. Wayne: I have been on your website and have learned probably more about the golf in a short period than over the last 15 years. I have applied your preferences to my own swing with amazing improvement, although not consistent. That said Tommy’s swing has improved with knowledge/ incorporation of side arm throwing motion. I will forward swing videos this week for your…

This is another great example of a non-traditional swing that still demonstrates some of the key movements that make great players what they are. When you consider that some teachers insist that a swing must be “on plane” in the backswing, Moore’s swing, much like Jim Furyk’s and many others, flies in the face of that conventional wisdom. Moore’s move has the shaft vertical to the ground at left arm parallel in the backswing, but he counters that by flattening the shaft up to 60 degrees in transition, giving him an approach that looks much like any of the great…

This series of lessons is an example of the difficulties of making wholesale changes to a swing that has been formulated over many years of play and practice. Arthur is a decent player (an 8 handicap) but plays to that via a nice short game and good putting. He considers his ball striking to be substandard, and has not been able to improve much in spite of real effort with practice and lesson taking. He came to me at the suggestion of one of my long time students, Alan Appelbaum, who went from a 12 handicap to a 2 under…

Once again we see a successful Tour player demonstrate the “out” move with the hands while flattening the shaft back in transition. English is one of the best ball strikers and all-around players on the Tour in only his 3rd year, and seems to have the even keel demeanor to go along with his obvious talent and technique to be a force on the Tour for many years to come. He is a big guy, going at 6 foot 3 and 190 pounds, and uses a massive thrust with his lower body through impact along with a fairly wide approach…

Chris has been coming along nicely with his swing as he is getting used to gaining about a foot in height over the past couple years. He is quite thin, like lots of kids his age who go through growth spurts, and has had trouble feeling the connection between the upper and lower bodies. His tendency is to get the club too deep in the backswing early, and then lift the left arm to the top while laying off the shaft, then coming down from too far away from his body. My goal here in this lesson is to get…
