7-Year Old Sofie Louis: Talent Personified

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

People ask me all the time why they have to work so hard on their games just to be decent, while others seem to be good in spite of their seemingly poor technique and lack of good practice habits and work ethic. The fact is that some people just have a “knack” for the game, and it is more apparent how things ultimately work without having any sort of deep understanding of exactly what they are doing.

Swing Analysis: Alvaro Quiros

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Man, wouldn’t it be nice to be Alvaro Quiros for a week or two? What would it be like to be able to hit the ball well over 300 yards with a quick, compact swing that appears to involve little or no attempt to stretch or resist, although both of those characteristics are certainly in play in his motion. Quiros has the quintessential prototype “new tour body”, tall, lean and immensely strong, and he looks like an NFL safety rather than a golfer.

Hand Movement From the Top of the Swing: A Look at the Top 20 Golf Players in the World Rankings

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

The entire purpose of this video is to record observations of a particular part of the swing as practiced by the top 20 players (according to the “World Rankings”).

Swing Analysis: Jason Day

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

At first glance it might seem that Jason Day creates tremendous speed by just using his arms, as his body seems to move far less than most Tour pros, at least in the backswing. That, however, is only partially true. What is true is that unlike most of his counterparts Day does not lower at all in the backswing or in transition.

Webb Simpson Golf Swing Analyzed

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Watching Webb Simpson win two events in 3 weeks brings to mind the old adage that you “putt for dough”. Now, I don’t believe that you “drive for show”, as any player wishing to win big tournaments simply has to hit the ball reasonably well, but certainly the winning part of it has a ton to do with making tons of putts, which Webb does consistently with one of the fastest strokes on tour.
