John Lamendola- Working on Right Loading and Width

John has been my most prolific online lesson taker for over 5 years, and in this video, we get a rare chance to work face to face.  John has a great setup in his home in New York, with a basement golf room that sports all the bells and whistles, and he almost exclusively films there and sends swings to me for analysis and advice.  We have done some nice work with the online lessons, but I always prefer to work in person as I can get my hands on the student and move them around to get them to feel what I’m talking about and showing on the video.  We have mostly worked out John’s tendency to drop his hands behind him in the downswing by focusing on his hand path and overall swing shape, and recently he has been searching for more clubhead and ball speed.  In this video I encourage John to load more over his right hip instead of twisting it toward the target early in the backswing, and I would like to see him extend more in the takeaway and get some space between his upper right arm and his right side at P2, which will help him “stay in the box” from the face on view and give him more upper body coil and a better load into the ground from which to drive into the forward swing.
