I really like this lesson because it takes a swing that appears to be almost flawless and shows that not only do the eyes misinform the observer when things are too fast to distinguish but that changes for the better can occur, and evidence of the change can be seen, when the swing is looked at in detail in slow motion.

Austin was frustrated with the teachers in his area as they tended to shy away from detailed analysis, telling Austin that his swing was “OK” or “pretty good” and that he needed to be less technical and more inclined to just trying to play with “what you’ve got”.

Zachary is a young (mid-late 20’s) PGA Professional from the Pittsburgh area who has been working with me for a little over a year. He plays regularly in his section events and is very interested in improving his swing and his performance with the end goal of being a high level club pro player, which would mean contending in his section championship and qualifying for the PGA Professional Championship (formerly known as the Club Pro Championship).

Bryce has a violent transition, pulling down hard with his hands and arms to make up for a lack of lateral movement that would pull the left arm against the chest in transition. Bryce is an excellent player and a smart guy you would think he could just effect the change immediately. Alas, as is almost always the case, it takes a while to figure out how to get a major pattern change to happen when it’s in the middle of the swing.

Bryce is capable of shooting good scores in big tournaments. After taking some time off, however, he didn’t fare so well in the amateur stroke play events he entered, and thus knew that if he was going to make a go of it as a professional golfer he would have to improve his ball striking:

I rarely am in awe of the way a student strikes the ball. I have played with great players and now teach a great ball striker in Kevin Streelman, and I can say that at times I am in awe of how well he can hit it. But at 11 years old young Weston really […]

Sven worked on his swing after the online video in October, but getting the pivot to work better is a difficult thing to feel on your own if you have never quite used it correctly. In this video I go hands-on with Sven to take him through the swing motion, getting his trunk muscles to wind up and his waist to deepen in transition.

Chris is a member of the MacArthur Club up in Jupiter and came down to see me on the recommendation of a good friend of mine. Chris plays to a 4 handicap but is not happy with his ball striking and tends to shoot much higher scores under pressure.

Bob plays his golf up in West Palm Beach and drove down for a face to face lesson to see if he could get some help with his overall ball striking. He was not making very good contact with his irons, and as I watched him warm up and hit a few there were both fat ones and very thin ones, while the ones he hit more solidly had some good quality to them.

Steve is an accomplished senior amateur player from Kentucky who contacted me last year for an online lesson. The first thing you will notice about Steve’s action is that it looks great. This is almost always the case when the rhythm is good and the club points nicely on plane at the top. But these are not the things that create a superior strike, which you will see clearly in this video.
