Tommy Economou plays on the Rice University golf team and came to me via his father, Michael. This is the first email I received from Mike, and the video is my first analysis of Tommy’s swing.
Wayne: I have been on your website and have learned probably more about the golf in a short period than over the last 15 years.
I have applied your preferences to my own swing with amazing improvement, although not consistent. That said Tommy’s swing has improved with knowledge/ incorporation of side arm throwing motion.
I will forward swing videos this week for your analysis-
Best, Mike
As you will see in the video Tommy does some great things with his swing, especially the sidearm throwing motion, as his father mentioned. What I noticed and concentrate on in the video is the lack of engagement in the upper body in the backswing, leading to the club being severely laid off. I think that if Tommy can coil his upper more fully his swing will plane better at the top and it will also give him the potential for more power. As I am posting this well after the analysis was originally done, you will get to see Tommy’s work to incorporate this suggestion in the next segment (Tommy Economou 2). I am sure you will be properly annoyed at the amazing ability of young and talented players to incorporate change almost immediately.
