He started with a swing that went well outside and looped back inside and has worked recently on gaining depth in the backswing to eliminate some of the need […]

These follow-up swings were taken 6 days after I sent him his first analysis. The video speaks for itself: like the title says, good players can make changes quicker and easier than not-so-good players.

After 3 poor years making less than a million dollars, English has righted the ship and has been playing great golf for the last 2, culminating in his win in Hawaii in a playoff over Joaquin Niemann. In this video I start by noting some major differences in his driver setup from 2014 to now, […]

Matt has been wrestling with this backswing issue from the 1st time I saw him some years ago. If we didn’t think that it contributed to his inconsistent ball striking, we wouldn’t bother trying to change it. Matt goes back and forth between getting the club stuck behind his hands at P6 and sometimes approaching […]
