With the recent ascendency of shut face, bowed left wrist top of the swing positions among the highest ranking players (DJ, Koepka, Schauffle, etc.) it was refreshing to see Lowry rotate his forearms and let the left wrist remain extended (cupped) to the top of the swing and well into the forward swing. From watching […]

Schwab had a nice rookie season last year on the European Tour and has two top-10’s this year, including finishing 3rd in the BMW International a few weeks ago, which is where this particular swing comes from.

When I first saw Jazz hit a shot on the telecast of the PGA Championship at Bethpage, I had a flashback to my student Willy Wilcox, whose quirky looking swing that I saw for the first time on television in 2015 fascinated me immediately. Willy’s swing has a distinct pattern: hands and arms inward early […]

I’ve been feeling better and getting stronger and have had time to practice so it was nice to see the work pay off in the Middle Atlantic Section Match Play qualifier on a tough track just outside of Richmond, Va. I shot 2-under 70 to place second in a field of 51, 11 of whom […]
