Here is a swing that I’m guessing is modeled after Ben Hogan’s, with maybe influence also from Mac O’Grady. My suggestions start with the posture, and when I compare it to Hogan’s it is easy to see that Grady is way more hunched over with his weight more toward his heels than the balls of […]

Wayne, “Here are videos of my son Conner Kumpula. He is playing collegiate golf at Oregon State University. We have worked together on his swing. He is historically a player that hit golf shots with lots of shape. He would change swing planes and use his hands to accomplish this. He has won at every […]

Allie did a nice job getting into a more athletic posture and increasing her tempo after the first lesson, and now needs to concentrate on continuing to try to soften the arms at address, especially the right arm. When the right arm is tight and stiffens as the takeaway starts with the elbow twisting inward, […]

Let’s start Jonathan’s lesson with the email he sent with his swing. I always like to get background info before I do an analysis, just like I would do in a face to face lesson by asking a few questions while the student warms up. “I’ve been playing golf for around 10 years, roughly […]

This is a powerful individual with a nice flowing swing and plenty of trunk mobility who could greatly benefit from better use of the pivot and better right arm technique. Tim doesn’t gain much depth in the backswing, preferring to maintain his height and keep his right leg pretty much in the same place at […]

Jason is working hard on his technique, and states in his email that the faster he swings the worse he hits it, which is a problem when you take note of how slow his swing is in general when he hits the ball. It is important for Jason to overcome this and thus he needs […]
