Online Lesson: Justin Baker- Continuing to Work on Extension and Lateral Movement

“Swing is looking better but still not hitting it how I would like especially the driver as you will see. I’m thinking a touch more lateral and then clearing harder with the left side/pushing with the glutes. Hope you had a good holiday and thanks for all you do.” If you watch Justin’s last lesson from August you will note that this one is almost the same, which is to be expected as changes for a player as good as Justin are usually incremental and subtle. I would still like to see him more extended in the backswing with a…

Online Lesson: Will Holdridge

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Message to Wayne: Hey Wayne, I’ve been a big fan of your page since 2010 when I was playing college golf down at New Mexico State. I won some big tournaments as a junior golfer and ended up getting a full scholarship, taking lessons from Jeff Coston up here in the Pacific Northwest. Jeff was very keen on me drawing the ball, which I took to pretty well. I could come from the inside and hit a push draw consistently. Funny enough my swing looked a lot like Zach Johnson’s. But when I went down to New Mexico I…

Online Lesson Follow-Up: Eric Ashcroft

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Message to Wayne: Hi Wayne, these are a couple follow up swings from my lesson a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been working to roll the right foot, push off the right leg towards 10:30/11:00 (from a DTL perspective), and keep the head and right scapula from drifting too far towards the target on the backswing. I’d appreciate any further feedback you might have on these things or anything else. Any idea why I’m seeing my AoA so negative? I’m regularly seeing my mid and short irons creep up around -7 and I’m taking fairly sizeable divots. I’d be…

Online Lesson: Eric Ashcroft- Wanting to Reduce Trail Arm Throw

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Message to Wayne Hi Wayne I’d like your overall thoughts on my swing and which parts I should focus my efforts on improving. One area that I think might be causing me issues is my release. From a down the line view it looks like there is a lot of trail arm “throw.” I can miss the ball on both sides (and, depending on the day, can thin it as well), and perhaps this has something to do with the approach and release at the ball. I could obviously be way off, but I’d appreciate your thoughts on that. This…

Online Lesson: Mark Armstrong- Wondering Why his Hips Come Out of the Box After Impact

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Message to Wayne Hi Wayne, one question I had when looking at the videos is wondering why my weight (hip) shifts to the right after impact. I can never stay in the phone booth sort of speak because my right leg and hip fall outside after impact. Hope that makes sense. not sure it will. The issue Mark has with his right leg leaving the “box” after impact may appear to be of questionable importance (it’s after impact so what does it matter?) but because things happen so fast in a swing (a total of one second give or…

Online Lesson Follow-Up: John Krystynak- Progress With Stubborn Takeaway that Causes Right Arm Problems

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

John has made nice improvements in his swing during the time we have worked together, but he has struggled with the takeaway. In this follow up video to his most recent lesson we finally see a better (not perfect) takeaway. John previously had not been able to keep his right arm from straightening when he triggers his takeaway, which caused the left arm to roll over it and the hands to move well out away from the body while the clubhead dragged low to the ground. Here John keeps the “home plate” look at address as he starts the club…

Follow-Up: Improving Ground Force Reaction: Online Lesson Justin Baker

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Justin’s follow-up swings show that amazingly enough he has been able to execute most of the suggestions I made a couple of weeks ago. Justin’s side by side shows him adding width to the takeaway with his right arm gaining space and height as he stretches his upper trunk in the takeaway while he gets to P3 with his wrist cock more at 90 degrees, quite a bit less than before. At the top his right arm is less bent and further from his body, which eventually will give him an opportunity to flatten the shaft in transition, which doesn’t…

Online Lesson: Nicholas Gobel

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Comment to Wayne: Sometimes I hit the ball with a low-ball flight. It feels if my hands have come to far inside after the follow though. Would please explain the best swing path and how close to being on plane is my swing. Thanks The thing that jumped out at me after watching Nicholas’ swings was his grip and his release. The grip seemed overly loose (especially the right hand), and Nicholas could make a nice overall improvement simply by keeping the connection between the right thumb and forefinger and by focusing on the point at which the right palm…

Online Lesson Follow-Up: Thomas Petric

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

As you will see in his follow-up swings, Thomas has made some nice progress with the things I suggested in our online lesson by centering his setup, moving the ball a bit more forward, and controlling his backswing from P3 to P4, which in turn helps to improve his sequence by eliminating some of the right arm and shoulder pull back that lean the upper body forward before the pelvis can get the forward motion started. Next for Thomas is going to have to be learning to sustain the angle between the left forearm and the shaft and release the…

Improving Ground Force Reaction: Online Lesson Justin Baker

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

As you will see young Justin has a nice swing but is concerned about his down the line release and an inability to fire his glutes into impact and get his left leg to straighten at the proper time. From a fairly upright posture Justin sets the wrists early and keeps the right arm close to the body, allowing it to bend quite a bit at the top of the swing. In the forward swing Justin’s lower body action is weak, both in terms of rotation and lateral movement. He is justified in his feeling that he is not using…
