ustin is a long-time student who has developed an excellent swing and has improved markedly since I began with him back in 2013. In this video I side by side him with Xander Schauffle, who I believe uses his body as well as anyone on the Tour, and I especially love the way Schauffle turns his upper trunk early in the backswing and gets tremendous extension in his right arm while keeping his lower body quiet and constantly tilted. Justin tends to shortchange his takeaway, and when he gets to transition lets his right arm bend into itself, which narrows him up in the forward swing. I also point out how Schauffle keeps his lower left side high, which allows him to load to the right and not get too heavy on the front of the left foot. I’d like to see Justin try to keep his left knee from dropping down and inward as much as it does, as the extra pressure forward on the foot can cause sequence problems.
