If you want a great example of how online lessons can successfully change a swing for the better just watch all of John’s. He has made incredible progress (and has the tournament successes to show for it) and here I do a short lesson to focus on what I see as a shortcoming in the way he loads and moves his pelvis in the backswing and in transition. In being an advocate of “compression” (using the ground) both in the backswing and the forward swing I have found at times that students are overdoing it somewhat by triggering their swings with a sitting move that tilts the pelvis to a more level position and over-lowers the upper body. I would like the movement of pressure into the right heel not to occur too quickly in the takeaway, but rather, and especially with John, would like to see the pelvis (and thus the head) stay up until P.2 and the transfer into the heel to be more gradual, with the weight that starts on the balls of the feet at address staying there momentarily as the club starts back instead of loading the hip immediately. This will hopefully give John the width he is looking for in the backswing and help him better sequence his transition.
