Swing Analysis: Seung-Yul Noh

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Wow. Now, this kid has a great move. Sean Foley just inherited him as a student, and he can just plan on collecting checks, because there really isn’t much to do with this action except to keep it away from unscrupulous women. (Just kidding). Really, though, as far as a swing that does the things that I prefer and teach as a general rule, this is about as close as it gets. Noh is only 21, and I have a hard time not seeing him do great things in the future.

Tiger at Congressional: Hah – I Told You So

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

This is for all the knuckleheads who questioned the greatest player of our generation on his golfing judgment, most notably his choice of coaches and the swing technique that they have been working on for about a year and a half, not coincidentally about the exact amount of time Tiger said it would take for the changes to feel comfortable. I can see where people rightly questioned his ability to overcome his knee and Achilles injuries, because when physical problems become too pronounced any kind of high level golf swing is nearly impossible. Luckily he has been able to get…

Swing Analysis: Crossing the Line

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Here I take two of my younger students who both cross the line at the top of the swing and show how I try to get them more on plane at the top. Both Joey and Zach are strong hitters who generate a lot of club speed, but both tend to lift their arms at the top and cross the line quite a bit. They are also similar in that they tend to be overly late with their release into the ball with their fairway woods and drivers, which makes it difficult to control the clubface through the ball. Joey…

Swing Analysis: Webb Simpson, 2012 U.S. Open Champ

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Webb utilizes quite a few of the swing techniques that I talk about in my teaching and on my website, but he also does quite a few things that differ from what I prefer. I will let you watch to video to find out what those things are, but one really interesting item in his swing that I just noticed is the movement of the right heel toward the target at the start of the downswing, part of a very interesting and quirky use of the pivot and the right leg and hip especially in the forward swing. As I…

Swing Analysis: Tommy Bolt

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Tommy Bolt, the 1958 US Open champion, didn’t join the Tour until he was in his 30’s, after serving in the army in WWII. He won 15 times between 1951 and 1961, and was known as one of the best ball strikers in his era, along with Hogan, Snead, Palmer, Middlecoff and a few others. There are not many swings of Bolt to be found anywhere so I was fortunate to find these, and they serve to give us a good idea of what Bolt’s swing was all about.   After watching him swing you should not be surprised that…

Swing Analysis: 6 Players Vie for the Byron Nelson Classic

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I thought it might be interesting to compare the guys that were fighting it out for the Byron Nelson last week, specifically to see how they looked in their takeaways, at the top, and how their hands traveled at the start of the forward swing. Watch eventual winner Jason Dufner, runner-up Dicky Pride, Jonas Blixt, Joe Durant, Mark Leishman and the guy who should have won, JJ Henry.
