Student Lesson: Ben Lieberman

Here is a new young student of mine named Ben Lieberman. Ben is a good size kid and can play well having won his club’s Jr. Championship. His dad was a bit suspect of his technique and thought it could be improved so Ben could become an even better player. In this video we see that Ben has some things I really like to see in a swing; deep hips, compression in the backswing, etc. Ben also came in with a strong grip and tight, locked-up, arms at address and the tight arms would prove to be a bit of a challenge. But there was one serious issue that could affect Ben’s back in the short term and would almost definitely hurt him in the mid to long term. I’m very sensitive regarding the stress placed on the back during the golf swing so we immediately went to work addressing that in this lesson.
