Swing Analysis: Bubba Watson and Paul Casey

Here we have two excellent players with very different pivot movements in transition. We see them on the 16th at Doral, teeing off with a pitching wedge or 9 iron. Bubba hits an inexplicable draw over the water to about 6 feet while Casey hits a non-descript shot to the center of the green somewhere (which really isn’t bad at all. The hole is plenty intimidating, even with a wedge in hand).

Swing Analysis: Wayne D’s Best So Far

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I’m pretty excited about this swing. I am finally able to put some time in trying to do the things that I know I want to do in the swing, and as you will see here I am getting there. I never really like my swing, but I may have to change my mind after seeing this. There is a lot more work to be done, but I am definitely on the right track.

Swing Analysis: Adam Scott and Rory Mcilroy

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

It’s always nice to get swings from the television broadcasts that employ fixed cameras. As we know, any hand held camera precludes the use of drawing lines to see where the movement occurs in the swing because It is impossible to hold a camera perfectly still while filming. Usually at a Tour event the fixed cameras are on tee boxes for obvious reasons, and in this case we have both Scott and Mcilroy teeing it up on a par 3.

Swing Analysis: Bryson DeChambeau

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Lots of buzz in the media leading up to this years Masters on Bryson DeChambeau the 2015 NCAA Division 1 Champion and U.S. Amateur Champion. this swing analysis includes exclusive video footage from Mark Long, thank you Mark. Bryson has definitely taken over the title of “most interesting man in golf” from Miguel Angel Jiminez as you will see by his very cool swing and the fact that all his irons are the same length. Certainly he has dominated the amateur ranks this summer.

Swing Analysis: Brandt Snedeker Torrey Pines 2016

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

This is an interesting golf swing and when it works Snedeker is a threat to win every time as he is one of the best putter/short game artists on the Tour. His takeaway is right up the plane but the shaft quickly gets quite flat at left arm parallel due to the rolling motion of his left arm and shoulder. This is problematical for the average player as the tendency then would be to pull the right arm up and back…

Wayne D. Working on the Driver

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

My swings with the long clubs are getting better but I’m still wrestling with the tendency to punk out on my backswing pivot when my back muscles get tested starting around shaft parallel in the takeaway and extending to the top. You can see in the video how I start to straighten the right leg and let the motion move out into my left leg and hip, while at the same time my shoulders flatten and my right arm stays too low and pinched in at left arm parallel.

Swing Analysis: Phil Mickelson’s “New Plane”: Really?

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I have stated in the past that Phil Mickelson hasn’t changed his swing in any significant way in at least 25 years, no matter what he says or who he works with. What is certain is that he always has something to say about his swing, and that he is one of the best when it comes to talking himself into believing that he is doing something different and better. After studying his “new” swing (he switched teachers again) I have come to the conclusion that…

Swing Analysis: Jordan Spieth

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I have done Jordan’s swing before, but as he is kicking everyone’s butt nowadays I figured I’d take another look. I tried to imitate his positions in the mirror in my basement and found it impossible. Now, I’m not the most limber and mobile guy with all the problems I’ve had with my back, but I can still move around pretty good and most swings I can imitate fairly closely.

Swing Analysis: Wedge Play with Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed and Brooks Koepka

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

This video should help dispel some faulty ideas about pitching, specifically about using the bounce versus forward leaning the club into impact. If you listen to the TV announcers there seems to be an inclination to suggest that all pitch shots “use the bounce”, but I think you will see here that that is not the case. Before we get to that aspect let’s just be sure to note that all these players make full use of their pivot in order to properly sequence the swing and to get the body to lead the hands and arms into the shot.

Swing Analysis: Wayne D. on What Starts the Downswing

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I’ve been teaching for over 30 years now and I have never wavered from my belief that the forward swing is initiated from the ground under the right foot. There are many opinions that it starts elsewhere, most notably with a rotation or “bump” of the left knee, but here I show Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan doing nothing of the sort. Sequence is of huge importance in building a solid golf swing and it would make sense to have a clear, accurate picture of how the best players do it.
