Online Lesson Follow-Up: Justin Miller

Greatly Improved Lower Body Work

I don’t think the average golfer understands how hard it is to change a swing. People come for a lesson, and when they see that they make a multitude of mistakes they think that doing one or maybe two things will be the answer, and that it shouldn’t take that long.  When they come back for a follow-up and swear that their swing will look totally different and it doesn’t, they can only take that for so long before they give up and move on to another teacher or a different idea they found on YouTube.   Those that get that it’s a laborious process and that there is no telling how long it will take and truly enjoy the struggle that really can develop an effective and functional swing.

Justin has toiled for years to rectify ingrained flaws in all parts of his swing, and the result is apparent here.  His swing looks great, but there is always something that can make it better.  When you’re an amateur and in your 30’s you want to be competitive in the State Open and State Amateur, and if you are you can go from there and enjoy playing in some national events.  Justin has that in mind as he continues to play and practice and tries to improve.  My only suggestion here deals with adding more extensor action and wrist cock between P3 and P4, and then trying to feel like he is increasing his wrist hinge in transition.  If he does this, he can drive his right arm more forward with the elbow leading while straightening it faster at the same time, so that he can get into a more delayed, more low sidearm type delivery.   I think this will allow his arms to sync up with his body and hopefully eliminate the hip stall that occurs past impact.
