Lesson of the Week: Rick Moreau-Working on Increasing Lateral Movement and Shallowing the Downswing

By Wayne | Videos , Videos: Online Students

  Rick is a low single digit handicapper who produces a nice impact but often feels as though he is “hanging back” and unable to get fully to his left side in the downswing and through impact, causing some pulls and weak right shots. The video shows that Rick stays almost stationary on his right foot well past impact, and that his hips have only moved an inch or two forward of where they started. From down the line it is apparent that Rick has a bit too much of the hands out move without enough flattening of the club,…

Lesson of the Week: Austin Lyons- Working on a Fuller Swing and Better Impact

By Wayne | Videos , Videos: Online Students

  Austin has made great improvements in his swing technique over the 10 years we have been working together (1-3 times a year, 4 hours over 2 days), and each time he comes I try to deal with the swing he brings and give him things to work on until I see him again. In this lesson I note right away that his swing looks too short, and his impact is still way too flippy. The shortness of his swing seems to be a result of his lower body interrupting the backswing too soon, which is something I try to…

Online Lesson: Joe Flood- Needing More Forearm Rotation in the Backswing and a Quieter Trigger

By Wayne | Videos , Videos: Online Students

Hi Wayne, Making steady gains. You have given me about 8-10 items to work on and I think I’ve made a bit of progress on all except a flatter left wrist at the top and coming down. In addition, I’m still trying to get the hips more cleared at impact with more work to do there….   Question does my left arm look too upright at the top? I always start each lesson with the “swing you bring”, meaning that while it is interesting to look for progress based on the last lesson it is more important to focus on what…

Online Lesson: Joe Flood-Working on Swing Dynamics and Approach Plane

By Wayne D | Videos , Videos: Online Students

Hi Wayne, After doing well as a junior golfer in San Diego I got a golf scholarship to USC in the 70’s. I played one year in Australia (1980). In 1981 I then went into insurance and my golf dropped into the once a week turmoil 😊. Around 1988 I started to play better and had a good stretch to about I won 2 club championships at Bel-Air averaging around 73 during this 6 years. I’m not ready to accept the fact, maybe dreaming a bit, that I cannot play at that good stretch level again. My short game is good, my…

Online Lesson: Karl Myers- Wondering if He Should Make a Radical Swing Change

By Wayne D | Videos , Videos: Online Students

I’m 6 ft. 170 lbs. 67 years old. Have a body sway rollover release. Would like advice on whether to go with senior swing or work with what I have and improve from there. Thanks Wayne! For those that don’t know what Karl is referring to when he says, “senior swing” please refer to my YouTube video “Best Senior Swing”, where I advocate a radically open stance and arm oriented backswing for players who have for whatever reason developed limited mobility and need a way to create power without torquing the body in the backswing. My advice to Karl is…

Online Lesson: Sam Rottie- Teaching Professional Looking for Swing Guidance

By Wayne | Videos , Videos: Online Students

Hi Wayne, I like the swing analysis video’s you post on YouTube and need some inspiration for myself… so here to give it a go. I’m a teaching pro myself who still loves to be competitive. My level is around scratch best score is -4 but i struggle with being consistent, main shot is a draw, curious to see what you make of it. Cheers Sam I always enjoy helping professionals with their swing, especially teaching pros who like to compete, as I know that if I can give them something to improve both their knowledge and their technique, they…

Online Lesson: John Daly Sr.- Backswing Forearm Rotation and More Aggressive Lower Body

By Wayne | Videos , Videos: Online Students

At first glance my impression of John’s swing was that the hesitation at the beginning of the swing would have to be smoothed out so that he could get to more of the 3:1 rhythm that most top players use.  However, more and more we see players on television who take the club away much slower, and sometimes with the same type of pausing as John uses, and since John has the club traveling on almost perfectly on plane, I decided to leave that alone.  The two major things I discuss are the setup posture where I would like him…

Online Lesson: Chris Feltman- Better Posture Would Help Overdriving Lower Body

By Wayne | Videos , Videos: Online Students

Hey Wayne, hope all is well.  I’m looking for advice mainly for the driver, but I’ll gladly take any feedback you have for the iron swing as well.  I’m striking the ball fairly solid almost always, but it seems like I have little to no control over the clubface at times.  I’m probably losing 2-3 golf balls off the tee ON AVERAGE at my home course and it makes it difficult to score.  I’ve tried getting less right bend/swinging easier with the driver. It looks prettier, but I still spray it all over.  Maybe I was approaching it the wrong…

Online Lesson: Dan Daly-Suggestions to Help a Good Swing

By Wayne | Videos , Videos: Online Students

Dan is obviously a strong young man and a good athlete, and he already has a nice swing, but as in almost every case there are a few things that I believe could benefit his consistency. My first bit of advice is to try to maintain constant grip pressure just before the takeaway.  Having the grip reset as a trigger can be problematic as it won’t always end up in the same place.  Dan has some excessive hip slide to the right in the backswing, and while I like right -loading I’d like to see him square up his right…
