Lesson of the Week: Zach Verses

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Zach has been a student of mine off and on for 5 years, although it has been quite intermittent and “off” more than on. In the video you can see that Zach has the ability to change and improve his mechanics, and has always been blessed with the knack for achieving a stellar line of compression through impact. However, he is also prone to reverting back to his old habits when he gets away from consistent lessons and plays more than practicing. Now that Zach has been coming for a couple months without missing weeks at a time we are seeing some real progress. This has happened before, but this time we are hoping to stick with it and eventually produce a game that might be able to make some money. I think you’ll be surprised at the huge difference in the backswing positions and motion from last year to this. I’ve always contended that backswings are (relative to the rest of it) fairly easy to change, and that in order to change the overall pattern of the swing you must start from the beginning and get the backswing to position the swing differently so that transition and approach can change as well. We are well on our way (as you can see) and I am hopeful that with some on course short game and management work Zach will be able to get himself into contention in some real events.
