Online Students: Georgia Wempe

Watching Georgia’s swing at regular speed you can tell from her smooth, aggressive tempo that she is strong and athletic and has worked on her swing mechanics, especially in her backswing. When she hits it fat and thin with such a good looking action it would be no surprise to me to hear the random viewer comment that her poor ball-striking would indicate that she was somehow mentally deficient, more specifically that she was “thinking too much” or that she was trying to be “too mechanical” and wasn’t “keeping it simple”. Such nonsense is par for the course from people…

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…

Student Lesson: Ben Lieberman

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Here is a new young student of mine named Ben Lieberman. Ben is a good size kid and can play well having won his club’s Jr. Championship. His dad was a bit suspect of his technique and thought it could be improved so Ben could become an even better player. In this video we see that Ben has some things I really like to see in a swing; deep hips, compression in the backswing, etc. Ben also came in with a strong grip and tight, locked-up, arms at address and the tight arms would prove to be a bit of…

TP&C: Lenny Mattiace Part 2

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

Lenny and I have been working together for about a month now and I was able to get together with him again (3rd time face to face) for a day and a half down in Tampa. We played 9 holes at World Woods, and then worked on the range there for 3 hours or so, then the next day went out to TPC Tampa Bay and played a few holes again and also worked on the range for another 3-4 hours. This video is a compilation of the swings I shot during that time, and we ended up feeling good…

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…

Online Students: Justin Baker

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Justin has made nice progress since starting with the website, and even made a trip down to see me in July, where we got some nice work in. He is still struggling with the transition move, and I noticed right away that he had left out the line on top of his head, which, in Justin’s case, happens to be one of the most important lines to be aware of. As you can see, Justin lowers nicely in the backswing with the loading action taking his head downward a bit, then, instead of lowering again to get the lower body…

Online Students: Brandon Nagler Part 3

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Brandon has made some significant changes in his swing so far, and now is in position to make a major breakthrough in his technique. There wasn’t much he could about getting his right arm to move the right way and his hands more forward at impact until he got rid of some of his movement off the ball into a tilted back position as he approached the top of his swing. Now that he has stayed relatively more centered over the ball he should be able to use the sidearm throwing analogy and begin to lean the shaft more forward…

Online Students: Neil Zhu

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

It’s always an honor to be chosen to view and analyze the swing of a promising young player, and Neil Zhu certainly fits that bill. Neil is (I think) 10 years old in this video and already possessing the attributes of an excellent player. Neil’s father, Jason, was watching some of my swing analysis videos and thought that it would be a nice thing to get my opinion regarding Neil’s swing. My suggestions here would be the same if Neil had been 15 or 25 years old. The way his father implements them is another matter, and I recommend that…

Swing Comparison: Lee Trevino and Tommy Gainey

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I predicted when I did my first swing analysis of Tommy Gainey that he would win on Tour, and sure enough, he did, shooting 60 in the final round last week to win by a shot. I went back and looked at the video and saw that I didn’t have a good face on view of Gainey, and when I got a load of the Biz Hub swing you see here I was floored and just had to do this video. No one has more forward lean and sustain than Gainey, and it immediately reminded me of Trevino, for obvious…

Online Students: Noah Wempe

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

The word I use a number of times in this lesson is “subtle”. Noah has what would appear to the eye to be a technically sound swing. Without a proper analysis (which means video with a stable camera and shutter speed along with the V1 software technology) it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to pick out the right arm and sequence issues that I talk about here. Of course, these are my ideas and preferences as to what proper right arm movement and pivot sequence are, and as I see it Noah suffers from a combination of the…
