Brad Faxon Swing Analysis: Still Thinking about Uncrossing the Club at the Top

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Every couple of years Brad gets the bug to try to improve his swing and see if he can correct a few things he has seen forever that he feels cause his ball striking to not be a match to his superior short game and putting.  I have worked with Brad off and on and every time I get him to plane the club at the top it feels too weird for him to play in competition with it and he goes back to what feels comfortable.  In this video I go over some older swings of Brad’s (from the 90’s and 2000’s) along with swings from times I have worked with him, the last being in 2018 when I had him make a full swing where the club was pretty much perfect at the top.  The problem with that particular attempt was my failure to focus on squaring the face in the downswing with more left forearm supination and left wrist flexion.  I think that the next time I see him, and we add that in that we can make a significant change for the better, and since he is still in great physical condition and able to compete on the Champions Tour, he might even try to put it into play.

After I sent Brad this online video, his interest was piqued enough to want to make the drive down to Boca from his home at Old Palm in Jupiter for a face to face which will be the topic for the next post.
