Rickie Fowler Putting: An Analysis

There are as many putting styles as there are players, and you will see just about everything you can imagine when you watch the Tour on television. I have always preferred a narrow stance for whatever reason, and my stroke has trended to faster over the years. Way back when I had a very slow stroke that measured somewhere in the 60’s on the metronome, but I found that I was prone to missing short ones as the stroke felt too long and wobbly.

An Interesting Dialogue with my Friend Jeffrey Mann Part 2 of 2

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

And here is Part 2: As you may know I consider Jeffrey Mann to be one of the most knowledgeable people I’ve met when it comes to golf swing mechanics. I have met with Jeffrey at his home twice and once on the driving range before flying out of Salt Lake City where he lives, and I admire his fascination (obsession?) with the workings of the golf swing. Jeffrey is not a good golfer, but he is an ultra-smart guy who has applied his experience as a doctor who cut up cadavers (he knows his muscles, bones, and connective tissues) and as a research analyst for some high -level science publications to figuring out the best way to strike a golf ball.

Swing Analysis: Rickie Fowler from 2010 to 2017

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

In this video, I look at Rickie Fowler’s swing and the changes he has made from his first full year on Tour (2010) to this year. He is having an excellent 2017, having won the Honda along with 2 other top 10’s in his first 5 events, after having what was for him an off year in 2016. Fowler played nicely from 2010 to 2012, but slipped a bit in 2013 and sought out the help of Butch Harmon in the off season.

Swing Analysis: Wayne D. One-Armed

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I haven’t mentioned it but I had right elbow surgery on December 28th and haven’t been able to hit any balls since then. In fact, I really haven’t hit any since the first of December when I got down to Boca as I hurt the arm just before I left. I wasn’t doing anything odd, just hitting off the mat at Lakewood, but it was cold and caught one funny and felt something on the inside of my right elbow. I had an ulnar nerve transposition on me left elbow back in the early 80’s, and that elbow has given me some issues since then (none serious), so when I felt this one I figured it would just go away with some ice and rest.

Swing Analysis: Tony Finau

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

This is a great golf swing. Finau is a strong, rangy guy at 6’ 4” and 200 lbs., and he has come up with a simple, compact move that produces oodles of power. There just isn’t a whole lot going on here you might have a problem with other than the fact that the shaft is a hair under plane in the takeaway, but he opens the face and gets the club up on plane at left arm parallel so nicely that when that’s just about all the swing he needs to hit the ball a mile there’s not much that is going to go significantly wrong.

Swing Analysis: Jon Rahm

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

It’s no surprise that Rahm has found his way into the winner’s circle at age 22 when you consider he was the #1 amateur in the world for more than a year. At 6’2 and 220 lbs. Rahm is a powerful athlete who takes advantage of his size and strength to feature a short, efficient swing.

Swing Analysis: Keegan Bradley Part 2

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

After a fast start to his career on the PGA Tour (winning the first major he ever played in, winning Rookie of the Year, making the Ryder Cup team and President’s Cup team, finishing in the top 30 money winners 4 straight years) Keegan Bradley’s performance has suffered over the last two.

Swing Analysis: Luke List

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

List is one of the longest hitters on the Tour (he’s averaging 320 this year), which is pretty amazing considering how smooth and effortless his swing appears to the eye. He is a big fellow at 6’2”, 190 lbs. (that seems to be the new Tour prototype) and has paid his dues over the 9 years he’s been a pro, playing mini-tours and the Web.Com before getting his card at the end of 2015.

Swing Analysis: Julius Boros

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

While you may have heard of Boros, I bet you have never seen his swing, which, as you will see in this video, was gorgeous. It had a lot of Hoganesque attributes, and while it wasn’t quite as technically excellent it certainly had the wonderful flow and sequencing that Hogan exhibited.
