Online Lesson: Chuck Zellner- Still Fighting Early Extension Aka Goat Humping

Chuck has done a marvelous job with his swing over the time I have been working with him. From face on you can see he has been able to achieve a true drive/hold release with great impact alignments and sustain past impact. He has also tempered a lot of the exaggerated movements in his backswing, which has now given his swing a simple, classic look. If there is anything Chuck can still improve going back I would say that I might get him to lower a bit less overall and not add additional knee flex from P3 to P4. This seems to feed into Chuck’s main issue, which is still the improper use of his glute muscles in the forward swing. His knees both move to the right of the target in transition, and although he has increased his rate of hip rotation he still tends to move under himself, leveling his pelvis too early in the downswing.

Wayne D. Swing Analysis: This is Pretty Good

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

It’s been 3 years since I had my back operated on and 1 year since I had my elbow operated on and I’m feeling like I can finally do some of the things I teach and talk about all the time. I had somewhat of an epiphany when I did videos of Tommy Fleetwood and Tiger and watched their pelvic movement in transition. I always lose height and pressure between P2 and P4, and I wind up driving my weight too far into the front of my left foot, which slows my hip rotation (my left hip is too far forward to be able to clear in a timely fashion), encourages me to drive my right leg toward the ball, and my swing exits well to the right of the plane. This is not a recipe for success.

Tiger at the Hero Challenge 2017: Great Swing that Shows Age

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I’ve always loved Tiger Woods’ swing. Of course, he has changed it over time, but he has always demonstrated that whatever he tries, if he is healthy, he can do better than anyone else. I have truly enjoyed watching Tiger play and swing the club for 20 years, and just about 100% of the time I have defended him and pointed out just how good his technique was, and still is.

Swing Analysis: Tommy Fleetwood

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I didn’t realize until I looked at the stats, but Fleetwood may be the best ball striker currently on the planet. The winner of this year’s Race to Dubai drives it an average of just under 300 yards and hits 70 % of his fairways, which obviously puts him into position to hit a lot of greens, which he does, his 77% GIR 3 full points better than anyone on the European Tour. His backswing could be a model for anyone, and with his…

Online Lesson: Austin Kendziorski Showing Winning Form

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Austin has done a marvelous job with his swing, as you will see when I side by side his swing now with the first one he sent me over two years ago. One of the keys to success at the higher levels is the ability to shoot extremely low numbers, and Austin’s 64 at Erin Hills and 63 at Rich Harvest Farms indicate he has no fear of hopping in the sub and going down. This kid is destined for good things.

Tiger’s Comeback Swing and Short Game at the Hero World Challenge 2017

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I did a video not too long ago of Tiger’s first batch of swings as he comes back from his 4th back surgery, this one being the most serious, a fusion. My take was that I liked what I saw, and that the only thing I was concerned about was his ability to rotate his hips through the impact area and his tendency to get “stuck” with the shaft approaching from too far behind his hands due to the combination of slow hips and his hands and arms dropping straight down in transition rather than out toward the ball.

Swing Analysis: JJ Spaun

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

JJ is a rapidly improving player who I believe has an excellent golf swing, both simple and effective. I love his rhythm as he loads smoothly, stays smooth in transition, then explodes into impact, especially with his irons, which happen to be his strongest asset, where he is ranked 14th in strokes gained approaching the green. He has great shaft control, keeping it close to perfectly on plane all through the swing, and never appears to be in danger of getting stuck.

Swing Analysis: Austin Cook

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

At 5’7” and 160 lbs. Austin Cook is another example proving that you don’t have to be a bomber to win on the Tour. Precision will shoot low scores, especially on a course like the one at Sea Island, and Cook combined great ball striking with excellent putting and short game for a dominant win. There are a ton of Wayne D. preferences in Cook’s swing, as you will see in this video when we slow down his action.

Lesson of the Week: Blake Greenberg- Learning to Load Right, Stay Behind the Ball, and Get the Hands Forward at Impact with the Hips Clearing

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

As the title suggests, we had a lot to work on when Blake first showed up in May. He couldn’t make decent contact with the driver and was hitting it all over the place as well, and his iron contact was not good at all. We started with the driver, and by staying behind the ball better with the hips deeper he was able to start hitting the ball in the face and having it go where he could find it. We then got into the irons, and have worked hard on having the hands more forward at impact to compress the ball better.

Swing Analysis: Scott Strohmeyer

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Strohmeyer pre-qualified and then 4 spotted for the Sanderson Farms PGA Tour event while having zero status on any tour, and wound up in a tie for 4th, earning over $177,000. That finish qualified him to play in the next tournament in Las Vegas, where unfortunately he missed the cut. Scott played with Justin Thomas on the 2013 Alabama national championship team, and since then has been trying to play his way out onto the Web.Com Tour, this year missing out in the first stage.
