One of the benefits of teaching a Tour player is that I am able to sneak videos of other Tour players with my Casio camera and tripod, and since it is me taking the vids, the angles are correct for a real Wayne D. analysis. Stewart, who famously beat Tom Watson to win the British […]

Augusta is a pretty cool place, and I thought you’d like to see some of Kevin Streelman’s swings on the range and on the course, as well as a few of his practice round partners, Gary Woodland, John Senden, Steve Stricker, Robert Streb and James Hahn. By Wednesday we had dialed in what Kevin wanted to think about this week:

“I’m 25 years old and currently playing mini tour events in Florida. I’m seeking your help because I’ve learned that my ball striking really needs to improve to compete at the next level.” – Here we have a classic case of what happens when the upper right arm gets left “up and back”: it’s not pretty. The three major things I would like Steven to do in his swing are:

Steve is a mini-tour player from the west coast of Florida who came due to the suggestion of his friend Cody Lee, who took an hour of the three they signed up for. Steve, as you will see, had very nice action to begin with, but was unsatisfied with his overall ball striking.

Here is another one of those swings where you might be saying “what in the world is wrong with this guy? Why isn’t he out there winning money?” In other words, it looks very good both at regular speed and in slow motion. However, there are things that we have worked on to get it to this point, which is why I use swings from the first face to face lesson I gave Jason to compare to his latest swings.

Sven worked on his swing after the online video in October, but getting the pivot to work better is a difficult thing to feel on your own if you have never quite used it correctly. In this video I go hands-on with Sven to take him through the swing motion, getting his trunk muscles to wind up and his waist to deepen in transition.

It’s always a treat to get good tripod shots of a Tour player, and that’s just what we have here with Russell Knox. Russell, born in Scotland, has worked himself onto the PGA Tour through the mini-tours, the Nationwide Tour, and finally the big dance. He hasn’t won yet but was in a 4 man playoff last year at the Honda Classic.

As you can see, Derek is doing quite well, and in this video I try to keep him moving in the right direction. There are four items for Derek to consider here; I want him to continue to try to soften his arms at address and keep the right arm bend with width in the backswing. I think his left wrist is too cupped at the top, so he could concentrate on taking some of that bend out and getting it less cupped at the top.

In Ben Hogan’s book he describes the golf swing in it’s general character as a combination of half side arm and half underhand in which the right elbow and upper right arm move in front of the right side and in front of the hip in the downswing. This week’s Pro Tip video shows Ben Hogan demonstrating the correct motion of the right arm.

Chris is a member of the MacArthur Club up in Jupiter and came down to see me on the recommendation of a good friend of mine. Chris plays to a 4 handicap but is not happy with his ball striking and tends to shoot much higher scores under pressure.
