Lesson of the Week: Jon Krinn-Trying to Shallow the Shaft as Opposed to Steepening it

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Executive chef Jon Krinn has been a friend and student for many years. When he opened a high-end restaurant in 2007, he got crushed by the recession and didn’t play golf for more than 10 years as he got his life back in order. We started back up at the end of 2018, and he played in a few events in 2019, qualifying for the Maryland State Open. He has a good mental image of what he wants his swing to do but the pattern of steepening the shaft in transition has been a stubborn thing to change. When you watch the videos in order you will see one of the rare times that a single thought (helicopter the clubhead with the hands without pulling down on the grip) makes such a huge difference.
