Brad Faxon In Person Lesson with Wayne D – Simplifying The Backswing

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

After the online video I sent Brad regarding a new swing he sent to me, his interest was piqued enough to want to make the drive down to Boca from his home at Old Palm in Jupiter for a face to face.  Brad has always been interested in trying to figure out how to get the club more on plane at the top and has taken lessons (paid lessons) from many instructors, which, as you can see by his first swings, have been unsuccessful in achieving any lasting results.  There is an increasingly popular belief that fixing a backswing is…

Brad Faxon Swing Analysis: Still Thinking about Uncrossing the Club at the Top

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

Every couple of years Brad gets the bug to try to improve his swing and see if he can correct a few things he has seen forever that he feels cause his ball striking to not be a match to his superior short game and putting.  I have worked with Brad off and on and every time I get him to plane the club at the top it feels too weird for him to play in competition with it and he goes back to what feels comfortable.  In this video I go over some older swings of Brad’s (from the…

TP&C: Brad Faxon Part 4

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

I’ve known Brad for quite some time and have worked with him on and off for years, although we have never lasted more than a month or two at any one time. Brad is a studious swing guy, and has seen just about every teacher you could name. I asked him one time how many, and he said “I counted 65, and those were guys (and women) that I paid”. With his new job as lead announcer for Fox Brad has tried to keep up with all the new “teachers du jour” and it is fun to get his take on what is going on in the business as I don’t pay much attention to it.

TP&C: Brad Faxon Part 3

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

I went down to Jupiter to spend a couple days with Brad at Old Palm and we got some nice work in. I have always told Brad that given his problems with the approach being high and sometimes stuck he should strive to get the club on plane at the top (less across the line) so that he can have the shaft flatten early in transition and then steepen the rest of the way down, which will give him the chance to get the right arm straighter as he approaches impact and his hands as a result passing by closer…

TP&C: Brad Faxon Part 2

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

I’ve known Fax for a long time and have worked with him 3 or 4 times, but only one at a time with lots of time in between. I have always thought that if he could uncross the club at the top and simplify his release action, with his wonderful fluidity, rhythm, and ability to get the ball in the hole that he would be one of the top senior golfers anywhere. Up to now he has chosen to work on different things, or at least different ways to get to a better swing, but this year he reached the…

TP&C: The Putting Stroke of Brad Faxon

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

About 4 years ago I had the pleasure of spending the day working with Brad Faxon on his golf swing at the Old Oaks Golf Club in Long Island, NY. Before we spent time on the range we went out to play the course which was to be the site of Brad’s attempt to qualify for the U.S. Open that year. Armed with my trusty camera and tripod I filmed Brad hitting different shots, and although we were not going to work on his putting (for obvious reasons) I had enough presence of mind to film his putting stroke front…

TP&C: Brad Faxon

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

A couple weeks ago Kevin Streelman called Brad to ask him for some help with his putting, and Brad, knowing that I had done a swing analysis on Kevin, gave me a call to see if I had spent any time with him. I hadn’t, but we began to discuss teaching in general and eventually I asked Brad how his game was going. We had worked together for a day back in 2010 up in New York, but subsequently Brad decided to work with Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer and has been doing so up until last month. He remembered…

Wayne and I have known each other for over 30 years. He has the rare combination of being a fantastic player and excellent instructor. Playing and teaching seem to be mutually exclusive in today’s golf world but Wayne has been able to maintain his playing ability while teaching players of all levels. He has been a huge help to me and most importantly hasn’t “tied me up in knots’ when I have to play in a PGA Tour event. Brad Faxon, 8-time PGA Tour winner and 2-time Ryder Cup team member
