Kratzert and Foltz Showcase the Deficiencies of Empirical Analysis

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

When I use the words “empirical analysis” here it is not to make me look smart: rather, it is a jab at Brandel Chamblee (imagine that), who, in our Facebook debate, rambled on about the beauty of “observational” teaching as opposed to anything having to do with science or using technology such as video cameras and line and angle drawing software. Well, Chamblee is totally clueless when it comes to teaching and what is necessary to help the rank and file golfer, and his love of old school golf instruction and teachers such as Harvey Penick leads him to disparage…

Peter Kostis Outdoes Himself Analyzing Rory McIlroy’s Swing

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

Who in their right mind would ever claim that McIlroy’s arms drive his pivot, and that the evidence is a video of Rory when he was 3 years old?

Johnny Just Doesn’t Get It

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

As long as Johnny Miller insists on saying stupid things about Tiger Woods I will insist on making these videos that point out his ridiculous statements. It is my contention that what Miller says is important, and that when he (unintentionally) misleads the viewing public on matters of swing technique I am doing those viewers a service by pointing out his errors and hoping that someday he will view one of these and see that he should stop carrying on about lowering during the swing. I mean, can I make it any clearer? I mean, Miller himself lowered a tremendous…

Kostis Gets One Right, (Then One Wrong)

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

Just to show everyone I’m not picking on the TV announcers, here I commend Peter Kostis on an insightful biz hub swing analysis of a Tiger Woods drive at Pebble Beach.

Peter Kostis Reports in on Phil Mickelson’s Swing

So Phil flies in Butch, and Butch suggests that Phil keep the flex in his left knee, and suddenly Phil is a world beater. Nonsense.

Brandle Chamblee At It Again

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

How could anyone who knows anything about the golf swing say on national TV that Tiger Woods is “coming over the top”. Are you kidding me?

Most Great Players Lower During Their Swings: So Wouldn’t You Figure It To Be a Good Thing?

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

I’m sure that Mike realizes good players lower during the swing. I’m also sure that after watching this he wishes he had been a little clearer on just what he was discussing, as it certainly seems like he’s saying Scott’s head is not going down at the exact moment that it is.

Johnny Miller Offers More Brilliant Swing Analysis

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

Yes, Johnny Miller was a great player, a major champion. Yes, he hit the ball (for a time) as well as anyone in his era. Yes, you would think he would know a ton about the golf swing and about the players who have been great in the past, and thus it would be educational to listen to what he had to say on the subject.

Swing Analysis: Brandel Chamblee Keeps Hammering on Tiger

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

This little clip should come as no surprise to anyone who watches The Golf Channel with any regularity. Brandel Chamblee has a major problem with “modern instruction”, meaning any type of instruction that involves video analysis and technique work, and his feelings come out loud and clear (and obnoxiously) in his criticism of Tiger Woods and his coach, Sean Foley.

TV Golf Announcers Just Make Stuff Up: Rory McIlroy

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

In this video you will see proof of what I have been saying for some time now, namely that when announcers (any of them) describe why a Tour player sends a shot awry they are making it up. The point is that the actual reasons a shot by a great player is missed are so small and fast that they are simply not seeable, even with a slow motion camera, unless there is time to do a side by side comparison with computer graphics of swings from identical angles and lies.
