Chip is lucky enough to be a member at Winged Foot, which is where he met another long -time website member and online lesson taker John Lamendola. John has done an amazing job rearranging his swing, and suggested to Chip that he send me a swing. In the video, you will see that Chip exhibits some common swing patterns that compromise his ability to square his club face consistently and compress his irons. My main suggestion for Chip is to make sure he has width and structure getting to the top of his swing. As you will see Chip has the classic tendency to overturn with his right arm and shoulder, pulling the upper arm well behind his head, which in turn causes his left arm to buckle and his downswing to start with an upper body lean to right. Chip’s hands move backward in transition, and as we have seen in many instances his lower body then pushes up underneath him, causing his right arm to be even more trapped behind him. If Chip can finish his backswing while pushing the right palm into the left thumb he can create space between his hands and his head and keep his left arm much straighter, while loading into his right hip rather than twisting his hips toward the target. This would be key in his effort to get his downswing pivot to rotate more immediately, stay deep with his hips, and allow his arms to work back in front of him so that the hands can get more forward approaching impact.
