Online Lesson: Jesse Droemer PGA- The Elements of Reshaping a Swing

Jesse, an assistant professional from Texas, has played in a Tour event and is competitive in his section against other club pros.  You can see that he has a fluid swing with nice sequence, a bit on the quicker side overall which I would recommend for physically smaller golfers (Jesse is 5’8”, the same as me).  Jesse told me he would like to work the ball left to right, and in watching his swing it seems to me that his pivot is more geared to an in to out swing than one that would start the ball to the left.  The first thing I would change is his trigger, which I would try to quiet down.  In the takeaway I’d like him to maintain more extension in his left wrist, which would keep the club outside of his hands at P2 and introduce more forearm rotation to help get the face more open and to help with keeping his upper right arm in front of him by externally rotation the right shoulder as he moves from P3 to P4.  His hips tend to center load, and the twisting leads to quite a bit of pelvic rotation.  I’d like to see him load up against the right side of the face on hip box and restrict the overall amount of hip rotation.  The idea is to set up a downswing where the lower body can clear more effectively and allow him to cover the ball with his right side, an essential item for fading the ball.
