Swing Analysis: More Observations on Ben Hogan from the Face-On View

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I hadn’t studied this particular face-on view of Hogan with the grid in the background in some time, so when I popped it up the other night and started looking at it there were so many cool things going on that I got inspired to do a video. I spend most of the video pointing out things that people tend to get totally wrong when it comes to Hogan’s swing, focusing especially on the width and the right loading in the backswing, the swing length, and the right arm action. If more people would just spend the time watching these…

In Defense of the Game of Golf

By Wayne | Articles: In Golf as in Life

I’m getting a bit tired of reading about the “problems” with golf. Check out a recent article in GolfWorld Magazine titled “Intensifying the Solutions Search- Hack Golf Seeks Grow-the-Game Ideas From Any and All”: “…Golf participation is dwindling in the United States, and there is no indication the decline is about to stop. According to Joe Beditz, CEO of the NGF (National Golf Foundation), the game has lost 5 million golfers in the last decade. Moreover, the number of core golfers-defined by the NGF as playing at least 8 times a year, a subset that is responsible for 90 percent…

Online Students: Ryan Groves Part 3

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Ryan is an archetypal member of this website: an avid golfer in search of ideas beyond the stock instruction offered by most teaching pros and media outlets, he stumbled upon my swing analysis videos on YouTube and joined the site almost immediately. Ryan has an interesting back story (you can look it up on the website under “My Goals and Aspirations”) as his biological father was a mini-tour bum (not meaning to be harsh: I was one of those for a while myself) and he was disinclined to have anything to do with golf when he was young. As it…

Online Students: David Russell

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Hi Wayne, Thanks a lot for the email and for doing a review of my swing. I love the website. As obsessed as I am with golf, it’s the only golf website I pay money to be on. It’s been really helpful in terms of learning about my own swing. So, thank you. I’m 31 now and have been playing golf occasionally since I was a kid, but didn’t really commit to it until about 3 years ago, when I started taking regular lessons, did a visit to the Leadbetter Academy, and began going to the range 3 days a…

As Seen on TV: Brandel and Bobby Jones on Swing Thoughts

By Wayne | Videos: As Seen On TV and Extras

Here we have Brandel making his predictable comments on the benefit of having “no technical swing thoughts” while watching Angel Cabrera warm up on the range at Augusta. My point here, and one that Bobby Jones makes as well in his article “Day to Day Adjustments”, is that all golfers need to come up with a few swing thoughts (call them swing “keys” for lack of a better term) in order to quantify the feelings that work and that the golfer would like to remember and repeat. Chamblee is at his over-simplistic worst here, suggesting that the average golfer, with…
