My ball striking has gone to hell over the last two years. Was a 5 hdcp now an 11. Last instructor had me trying to move off the ball more than in the past and now I think I am just in a bad place somewhere between two swings. – Trent’s issues are Wayne D. classics and I wouldn’t be surprised if his next video was 20 times better.

As you will see right away in this video Andrew has an excellent swing that to the eye at full speed appears to need no adjusting. Especially good is his pivot motion, which uses the ground quite well and exhibits the upper/lower separation that everyone is looking for. My suggestions here are based on my own preferences for arm position in the setup and right arm action during the swing.

This is one of the stranger swings I’ve analyzed because the backswing is almost perfect. You would think that the rest of it would be cake; however, this case proves that nothing is automatic when it comes to hitting a golf ball.

I know I have a lot more to work on but, I will say my iron ballstriking has been incredible. Everything up to my 2 iron is very accurate and long. My scores in the trackman test center have never been so high. My path and face have never been so close to zero (they used to both be very +) and my VSP is so much lower.

Parker has made tremendous progress with his swing, as shown in the side by side of the older iron swing with the new and improved one. He is still at odds with his left arm lifting as he moves into transition, and here I show him how he has to move if he continues to pinch his right arm in front of him in the backswing.

This is a pretty involved lesson so I will leave it up to you to watch and decipher it. Mark does indeed have a good swing, and I can see where teachers who aren’t technique oriented would see it as more than adequate and that Mark’s issues must be mental.

Anthony produces a powerful move that doesn’t produce a lot of power due to the delivery angle of the club to the ball. My suggestions here start a bit differently than most of my online lessons…

People who say “Go play golf shot and not golf swing” don’t understand that the speed of a good swing doesn’t allow the viewer to see anything that’s really going on therefore if the player doesn’t hit the ball well it must be some kind of mental issue or a lack of confidence.

Conner was frustrated and considering walking away from the game. In desperation he and his father sent in some swings and after some online instruction he became the Oregon Amateur Champion instead. This year Conner has qualified for the US Amateur. We’ve never met in person and have only worked via the internet and phone.

Nicholas’ father is a PGA Professional and has worked with him since he picked up the game. Mark reached out to me for an analysis and here we will see a perfect example of why a shaft plane approach is not the end- all to great ball striking.
