There is nothing about this swing that you wouldn’t want to copy, even if you don’t have Max’s 32-year-old, 6’2”, 180 lb. body (my guess is that he has put on 20 more pounds of muscle since the PGA Tour did his profile). Everything about this is quality, from the grip to the stance and […]

Stats don’t lie (usually), and when you average 310 off the tee, are 11th on Tour in Strokes Gained Approaching the Green, and top 10 in Strokes Gained Putting you are going to win a lot of money and put yourself in position to win with some regularity. Burns shines because unlike other excellent players […]

It has been a year and a half since I had the two discs above my previous (1986) two level fusion fused (that makes four for the math impaired) and I am getting closer to being able to compete again against senior club professionals. I have come to terms with not being able to wind […]

Yes, I know this video is too long, so you don’t have to watch it all at once. But if you like watching great golf swings (these just happen to demonstrate the outward hand path and shallowing shaft) there are a bunch of them here. This method of transition is a preference of mine, and […]

I love to watch guys like Na who don’t drive the ball particularly long or straight and aren’t the best ball strikers around but play consistently great golf. After all, the game is about scoring, and Na has been #1 in Strokes Gained Around the Green 3 times in the last 10 years while having […]

When I started this website 12 years ago, I called it “The Pivot Compression Golf Swing”, focusing on the fact that most Tour players, and indeed most of the greats from the past, moved downward at some point during the swing and struck the ball with significantly more posture (more bent over) at impact. This […]

What fun to have Tiger back (I never doubted him) and playing with his 12-year-old son Charlie, whose demeanor on the course would be something for any aspiring professional to emulate. Tiger looks great for a guy on the mend from a bone-crushing car wreck, and when he regains his lower body strength and hip […]

Hideki Matsuyama doesn’t get nearly enough credit for being the ball striking machine that he is. He has amassed an amazing record in 8 years on Tour with over 36 million dollars of earnings, 7 PGA Tour victories, and, of course, last year’s Masters, all while never ranking above 78th in strokes gained putting, and […]

Don’t get me wrong here when I say “loose in transition”: I normally use the term “catchy” or “whippy” to describe a swing that puts a large amount of stress on the handle in transition (Herbert is built like a fullback) while the wrists are allowed to bend as the club reaches the top and […]

Over the course of my playing career, I have struggled with posture, hip depth, and left side clearing, due partially to growing up in an era where “down the line” and “stay behind the ball” were paramount swing ideas and due to my constant lower back issues, that made staying bent over and rotating with […]
