Online Students: Jim Lungstrom

Ryan Lungstrom sent in his father’s (Jim’s) swings for an online lesson as a Father’s Day gift. I always tell people that it is very humbling to be given as a gift, so thank you Ryan. Here is Ryan’s email to me explaining his dad’s predicament: Wayne- These swings were recently shot of my Dad, Jim Lungstrom. Jim is 57 years old and been golfing for around 30 years. His usga index is currently 11.9. Jim takes pretty good care of his body and is pretty athletic for his age. He can play well at times but is prone to…

Online Students: Connor Thompson

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Here is another powerful looking swing from a young player, Connor Thomson. Hey Wayne, I’m 18 years old and have been playing golf for 7 years now. Being a good athlete I picked up the game pretty quickly and began winning local tournaments within the first couple of years. By 15 I dropped to a 2 handicap and started playing fairly well, but within the last few years I have reached a plateau with my game bouncing around between a +1 to 1 handicap. Ball striking and driving have been the weakest part of my game and it has led…

Online Students: Matthew Latham

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Here is an email from Matthew Latham. As you will see, he has an excellent swing that would pretty much defy naked eye analysis. In other words, it looks good at full speed, and I’m sure Matthew has people telling him that he shouldn’t be so “mechanical” and that it is “all in his head”. Of course, Matthew knows that his swing is not producing consistent results, and that what casual observers note about the swing is usually general at best and not worth much when it comes to offering anything constructive to make it work better. As you will…

Online Students: Mark Osbourn

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

This is a little different as far as what we usually see in a swing analysis in that Mark has an excellent move that is just a bit too short and compact and comes in with a bit too much sidearm action, the combination of which has him approaching impact from under the plane. I would like to see Mark increase his upper body coil and lower back engagement in the backswing, which I believe would help him produce more power and keep him from over-flattening the shaft in the downswing. He is really a candidate for a hands-on lesson,…

Online Students: Ryan Groves Part 3

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Ryan is an archetypal member of this website: an avid golfer in search of ideas beyond the stock instruction offered by most teaching pros and media outlets, he stumbled upon my swing analysis videos on YouTube and joined the site almost immediately. Ryan has an interesting back story (you can look it up on the website under “My Goals and Aspirations”) as his biological father was a mini-tour bum (not meaning to be harsh: I was one of those for a while myself) and he was disinclined to have anything to do with golf when he was young. As it…

Online Students: David Russell

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Hi Wayne, Thanks a lot for the email and for doing a review of my swing. I love the website. As obsessed as I am with golf, it’s the only golf website I pay money to be on. It’s been really helpful in terms of learning about my own swing. So, thank you. I’m 31 now and have been playing golf occasionally since I was a kid, but didn’t really commit to it until about 3 years ago, when I started taking regular lessons, did a visit to the Leadbetter Academy, and began going to the range 3 days a…

Online Students: Allie Economou

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Allie is a junior in high school who has played some golf, but quit for a while and is now getting back into it. Her brother, Tommy, plays for Rice University and her father, Michael, is a student of the game and a fan of the website and is working with both of them. He sent me Allie’s videos to analyze after my work with Tommy’s swing had some success. I really like Allie’s swing for its aggressiveness. It is becoming somewhat prevalent in women’s golf to see slow backswings and less than catchy transitions, but Allie does not…

Online Students: Tommy Economou Part 2

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

I just received word from Tommy’s dad that his team, Rice University, has won their first ever Conference USA championship, with Tommy finishing 3rd individually. Great playing Tommy, and congratulations to the Owls!

Online Students: Tommy Economou

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Tommy Economou plays on the Rice University golf team and came to me via his father, Michael. This is the first email I received from Mike, and the video is my first analysis of Tommy’s swing. Wayne: I have been on your website and have learned probably more about the golf in a short period than over the last 15 years. I have applied your preferences to my own swing with amazing improvement, although not consistent. That said Tommy’s swing has improved with knowledge/ incorporation of side arm throwing motion. I will forward swing videos this week for your…

Online Students: Andrew Paul

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Here is the email Andrew sent with his swings. In 23 yrs. of golf (I’m 53, 6′-4″, 220 lbs., and marginally athletic) could never maintain a steady head. It would always come up and back. Been focusing on lowering it with the right hip going back and it worked thanks to your teaching on the web site. I would like to achieve three things. 1. Body opening up more through impact. 2. Hands not so “flippy” through the hitting area. 3. Finish with weight all the way forward with my right foot straight up on my toes. Seeing my…
