I think this is one of the best swings on Tour right now. Of course, I am biased toward the technique characteristics that I like to teach, but hey, this is all just my opinion anyway. The one thing that Kevin does that I would say is a flaw that he needs to work on, […]

Boo is one of the more interesting characters on the PGA Tour, and his swing demonstrates quite a few things that I like to focus on when teaching players of all levels. A couple of things that I would probably not teach (but wouldn’t change in player of Weekley’s caliber) are his strong grip and […]

This swing is really a tale of two halves when it comes to what I prefer in a golf swing, the first half (backswing) being nothing like I would teach, while the second half (transition and forward swing) has a ton of what I like. Of course, she is winning practically every tournament she plays […]

As I was going through my DVR of the 1st round of the U.S. Open I was reminiscing about my own play there in the 1981 championship, and I recalled hitting a few practice shots out of the bunker to the right of the 18th green. From the bottom of the bunker I could barely […]

In this video I take a look at the way the right arm functions in different players, and discuss my reasons for preferring one method over the other. We start with Tiger Woods and Henrik Stenson, both of whom have great looking lines in their swings when watching from down the line. There is a […]

I thought this was a fairly rare occurrence, with 3 of the best players in the world playing together and hitting almost the same shot on the same hole, while the cameraman actually does a nice job of positioning himself for a down the line shot of each one. Stricker is a recognized maestro with […]

Joe is year in and year out is statistically one of the best, if not the best, ball strikers on any tour. That being the case, we can easily surmise that his putting is not up to Tour standards, and the rest of his short game may be suspect as well, although pitching, chipping, bunker […]

After wowing the golf world with her play up to the age of 16 Michelle Wie has amazed just about everyone with her mediocre play in the 8 following years. She is only 24 and still has her career in front of her, but those waiting for her to break out and become the star […]

Two excellent swings here side by side as they battled it out in Texas on Sunday. These are both technically sound swings, with no funky moves and a lot of great positions to go with nice, aggressive rhythm. On display are two nicely on plane takeaways, well positioned shafts at the top, great looking “out” […]
