“Wayne, new to your site within the past few days but I am impressed. Impressed enough to excitedly send you some of my videos. I am a frustrated scratch golfer with a love for the game and a passion for learning and improving my swing and game.
I played in college and still play high level am tournaments as much as possible (I own my own business so we have that in common) and I have 2 small children. I find time to practice as much as I can but don’t get to play as much, I save that for tournament time.
I am way too inconsistent with my game and I know it’s a result of the “timing” I rely on way too much in my swing. I get very “one-dimensional” a lot and only have one shot I can play which is a big push draw. I am fairly tall 6’4″ so what is “correct” posture has always been a question mark for me. I have worked with a top 100 teacher here in AL since 2007 but he has since changed locations and quite frankly he is out on tour so much now, it’s impossible for me to see him, Not to mention my game is not improving, in fact getting worse. I have tried to self-diagnose and discover this year and it has led to too many things in my head. I’m looking for a fresh start and really looking forward to hearing from you.
After this initial set, I will likely want to do a phone consult moving forward.
Thanks and look forward to busting my butt over the fall and winter and coming out next spring a better player with your help!”
Bradley is another example of an excellent looking swing (great rhythm, nice lines, good balance, etc.) that has a general pattern that makes it difficult to manage the squaring of the face at impact. In this video I focus mainly on Bradley’s posture, comparing it to Adam Scott’s, and suggest that he set up more on the balls of his feet with the feeling of being more out over the ball, what I would consider a more “athletic”, “ready” position. Bradley tends to sit a bit as part of his takeaway trigger, which serves to get him even a bit more under himself. I would like him to keep his hip tilt as he starts his backswing, and as the club goes back I think he should concentrate on opening the face to more toe up at shaft parallel and cupping the left wrist a bit. All of this would combine to encourage the body to rotate better in the forward swing and to get the club to work out onto a good approach angle instead of falling behind into a “stuck” position with the club behind the hands at shaft parallel in the forward swing.
