[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.

[Premium] Here we see yet another example of an excellent swing hamstrung by poor right arm movement. Mattias “pinches” his right arm in the backswing, which, as we can see from Adam Scott’s swing, is not really a flaw if you can deal with it on the forward swing like Adam does.

[Premium] This is one of those swings that looks so good to the eye at full speed that you might wonder why in the world isn’t this guy a great ball-striker? It has a nice fluid movement and excellent lines, and it just goes to show you how important it is to be able to slow a swing down and analyze it to see what is really going on.

[Premium] If I look at a swing on multiple occasions I try to focus on the swing at hand rather than spend too much time going over what has gone on in the past. Improvement is hard to come by and I prefer to just take what’s in front of me at the moment and not dwell too much on what has improved or what hasn’t.

[Premium] Here is another example of a very good player who is held back by right arm motion that complicates the release action to the point where it can’t be controlled consistently. Chris’s action is not as obvious as most that we see here on the website, but that just goes to show you how important it is to be able to slow the swing down and watch the sequence of movement in transition and in the impact area.

Here are a couple of lessons given to Rice University player Tommy Economou. Tommy originally sent in his swing in February of last year, and he experienced some nice improvement and some good college tournament results. It’s now a year later and Tommy is set to head back to school for his spring semester. As you will see, especially if you take the time to go back and look at Tommy’s first couple of lessons, old habits die hard, and when you think they are gone they tend to come back, perhaps in a different form and different degrees, but…

: Dear Wayne: I have been following you for a few years. My daughter is 16 years old and aspires to receive a college scholarship. She is currently a sophomore in high school. She has been playing golf since she was eight. She is a competitive golfer. She is currently ranked 175 on junior golf scoreboard. We have been working on fundamentals that you teach on your website for the last couple years. Every winter we work hard to get in shape for the new season. For many years she had an “over-the-top” move that we have…

This video is a good example of the difficulty in changing a right arm motion pattern. If you watch Tyler’s first video lesson we focused on getting the upper right arm to move inward toward the chest to start the forward swing, which would take the end of the grip and the hands more out toward the ball. Tyler is a strong guy with an excellent move but when his right arm drops behind him in transition it gets stuck to the side of his body and the hands just don’t get forward enough to give the ball a good…

This lesson has enough complexity that I will not try to summarize it in a few paragraphs. You’re going to watch it anyway, but one thing you will notice right away is that Adam’s iron swing returns the club to the shaft plane on the approach and at impact and follow through perfectly. If you thought that was the Holy Grail and that it would guarantee that you would flush the ball every time the rest of the video will show that there is a ton more stuff to be reckoned with here. The main focus here is on Adam’s…

Hello Wayne! Greetings from Myrtle Beach. I’d like to do a video lesson. A bit of background for you first. Overall I’m a decent player and my handicap is usually in the 1-3 range. I’ve qualified for my State Am several times and won a couple of club championships and small local amateur tournaments. However, I’ve always fought my golf swing. If I could bring my long game up to the standard of my short game I think it would allow me to reach my goal of being a true scratch. I miss in both directions a lot…
