I’ve been working with John for some time, and he has done remarkably well considering we have only been face -to -face a few times and most of our work has been online, which is a testament to the fact that online lessons can be beneficial. John is lucky in that he has a nice setup in his basement with Trackman and plenty of room to film his swing front and back, and in this case, John is not looking for a fix for a particular problem as he has been playing and hitting the ball well (he just returned from a trip to the state of Washington where he was competing in the USGA 4-ball championship. He and his partner were the oldest team in the field). John’s text to me said it all: “Swing feels solid but can always get better”. That was always the way I looked at it when I was playing, so in this video I make some observations as to how I think John could continue to improve. I put him side by side with his favorite swing and player, Tiger Woods, and note how he could push his butt out in the setup, use more wrist cock in his backswing and more attention to left arm connection from P2 to P4 so that he wouldn’t squeeze his left arm back into his chest and pull the grip downward in transition, something that makes it hard to get his hands that little bit more forward at impact to compress the irons.
