There is a lot of good news here for Patrick. Most of his issues result from a faulty trigger to his takeaway, and what follows is a result of the pattern created at the beginning of the swing. I prescribe and demonstrate a few different punch shots to add to his practice.

This is a pretty neat video in that Ryan’s swing is mechanically sound in almost all respects. What he is missing is that mysterious sense of clubhead lag, or drag, or delay, or whatever you want to call it. When I say mysterious I don’t mean that the concept is hard to understand, but that a ton of golfers can’t seem to apply it to their golf swings.

Wayne: fyi: I’m from Australia, have had a few lessons but have never got the impact sorted out, have been working on the posture and takeaway as per your website for a few weeks and have noticed a huge change, thanks and look forward to your comments. As you will see in the video Robert has lots of good things going on in his swing. I know Tour players who would like to have the club pointed at the top the way Robert does. Robert’s issues start with a lack of stability in the legs in the backswing, which…

There is not much to say about this one except you won’t see a better swing on the PGA Tour. Connor pretty much exemplifies what I prefer in a swing, with power and grace. I don’t see too many swings that I would not make any significant suggestions to improve, but this is one of them. At some point I will meet Connor and spend time with him, but all I would hope to do is to share my experience as a player. Much of the golfing experience when you are good and expect to do well each time you…

Wayne, I will send you a couple of different videos. Thanks much for taking a look! Basic feelings that I get when I am not swinging well: a. feels as if my right elbow does not get deep enough in front of my body in downswing. Results are inconsistent bottom and shots toward the toe. b. I have tried “backing in the ball” to allow room, but don’t feel very athletic and lose power. c. Sometimes I feel as if I need to get forward with my weight to get a forward bottom, but then it turns into a slide.…

I’m 46, and play to a 5 hcp. I’ve been a site member for about 8 months, and really benefit from the concepts and instruction on the site. My handicap is about as low as it’s ever been and my goal is to keep going lower. I play once or twice a week, and practice 3 or 4 times for about 30mins in the mornings. My ball flight tends to be a slight cut, because I tend to be steep, and have a hard time getting the club to “kick” and shallow on the transition, so the clubhead comes in…

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.

This lesson is a good example of what can happen when a talented player tries to make a change but doesn’t quite get it right, which then leads to other changes which may not be so good. My suggestion to Taylor and her dad Alex was to have Taylor start her swing with her upper trunk instead of her hands and wrists.

[Premium] This is another classic example of a steep to flat transition that gets the right arm behind the right side and causes a weak impact. It is also a classic example of a tight right arm that stays tucked to the body in the backswing, causing the left arm to initiate the swing, giving it minimal width and early upper trunk coil.

[Premium] Looking at Mark’s swing we again see the classic swing pattern where the legs push to the right in transition while the upper right arm moves backwards behind the right side. As usual, the setup plays a big role in producing this unwanted swing shape.
