Swing Analysis: Jeff Sluman

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

It was a long par 3 (at least back in 1983 you could call it long at 205 yards) at Rio Pinar CC in Orlando, as I stood on the tee with my old college roommate John Salamone and John’s buddy from Rochester, Jeff Sluman. Slu was just a little guy (I’m no giant at 5’8”, 145 lbs.-but I was bigger than Jeff), but when he took a 3 iron and hit it straight up in the air at the pin with about a one yard fade to about 10 feet I just stared at the green and commented that…

Swing Analysis: John Daly

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

It is length that defines John Daly, be it the length he hits the golf ball or the length of his swing, which is about as long a swing that has ever won a major championship. Daly exhibits massive talent every time he hits the ball, not so much for his prodigious drives but for the wedge shots he hits with the club fully 2 feet past parallel. There are players who have long swings with the driver, notable pre-war Hogan, Snead, and Mickelson, but all these players dialed down the irons measurably for control. Not Daly: he just keeps…

McIlroy, Rose, Oosthuezin, Schwartzel, and Donald Battle in Dubai

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

You know it’s a good tournament if these 5 studs are battling it out in the end. I caught the last 5 holes on DVR and grabbed some interesting shots to look at. Here I make some random observations of various shots, including some putts and short game shots, hit by the 5 protagonists coming down the stretch. Of course, McIlroy birdied every one of the last 5 holes to win, but it’s always cool to watch everything that’s going on with the guys fighting for the lead.

Swing Analysis: Mike Austin

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

It was an eye opener for me to read the Wikipedia page on the life of Mike Austin. I knew he was considered a long hitter in his day and that he had spent a considerable amount of time establishing himself as a teacher of the game, but I didn’t know that he had a PHD in Kinesiology, that he was an intelligence agent and flew planes for the Canadian forces in WWII, that he was a renowned hustler known as “The Golfing Bandit”, and that he roomed for a time with movie star Errol Flynn. Austin still holds what…

Swing Analysis: Davis Love III

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

One of the best players in the modern era, Davis Love has won 20 PGA Tour events including a major championship, the PGA in 1997. He has won mostly with his long game, and has been hampered over the years with wedge and short putting issues (if you can have 20 wins and be “hampered”). That just suggests that Love, had he been even close to the putting it like Nicklaus or the wedging it like Kite would have won many more majors and would probably be up there with the greatest players ever. Here, however, we focus on the…

Swing Analysis: Wayne D. From the Vault – 1981 to 2002

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

This isn’t so much a swing analysis as it is a compilation of my swings throughout a 20 year period. I got my first video camera (appropriated from my first wife’s father) back in 1981 and started taping my swing, not really knowing much about what I was looking at, except that I was a big fan of Tom Watson and read Hogan’s Five Lessons religiously. In the first batch of swings you can see the Watson influence, and after 2 major back operations you can see how I opted for a more rotary Hogan type move. The changes I…
