Lesson of the Week: Jack Gallagher

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Jack is a long time website member and a regular contributor to the forum. He likes to think in detail about his swing and jumped on the opportunity to come over to McCormick Ranch for an hour face to face lesson. What you will see is a very nice motion that again needs slow motion analysis to figure out why it doesn’t work better. We started with the takeaway cutting inside and the right arm staying tight to the right side, pinching it in front of the body at left arm parallel. As is common with this pattern Jack lifts a bit to get to the top while the right arm looks for height and depth while the hips move forward and the butt comes off the tush line. Jack doesn’t cross the line but in transition his right arm tips to more horizontal, which steepens the shaft early. He keeps the shaft in front of him but with the loss of space in the midsection he brings his hands in high and has to incorporate a throw release. I decided to concentrate on the backswing (can’t do everything in an hour) and we kept swinging full without the ball until he was able to make some nice changes and get a feel for what he would work on going forward.
