Hi Wayne, “Per our lesson from last year, I’m trying to shorten the backswing to prevent my hands from lifting at the top of the swing and the club crossing the line. I think my sequencing is still off. Also, as you will notice in the downswing, my release is early causing inconsistent impact. I […]

Chuck has made great strides with his backswing, which makes it possible now to focus on transition and the approach to impact. Chuck has a pronounced pause at the top of his swing as he tries to make sure he flattens the shaft (which he does), but the flattening does not seem to be the result of the dynamic movement of his pivot initiating the forward motion with the lower body pulling the left arm against the chest, but rather a purposeful laying off of the shaft in an independent movement.

Steve is a website member from Houston, Texas who visits DC every now and then and has stopped in to see me at Woodmont once before. This video looks at a 2 hours session we did this week, and I used the live audio camera to capture us working together on the range after I […]

As you know if you have watched the previous videos of CJ’s swing, we are attempting to get through the Player Ability Test for the PGA of America, which is a must if you are going to continue on in your quest to become a PGA Member. Most of the requirements to be a PGA […]

Watching Georgia’s swing at regular speed you can tell from her smooth, aggressive tempo that she is strong and athletic and has worked on her swing mechanics, especially in her backswing. When she hits it fat and thin with such a good looking action it would be no surprise to me to hear the random […]

Here we see one of the most common ways to get the clubhead “stuck” behind the hands in the approach to impact. David starts with the “triangle” look at address, which always looks tight to me, and I encourage him to go the “home plate” address (a la Hogan) where both arms are bent at […]

If you missed the first installment of the P.A.T. (Player Ability Test) Project with CJ D’Arco you should know that CJ is a young aspiring assistant pro at a neighboring club who, in order to gain status in the PGA of America, must pass the playing test by shooting somewhere in the neighborhood of 78-78 […]

One of the things I have to do after watching a swing and looking at exactly what it is doing (although now it seems that the opinion is growing that without a Trackman no one can really see fully what is going on) is to try to come up with reasons for the movements that […]

It is both surprising and gratifying when a student exhibits improvement in a short period of time. I never expect to see full swings incorporate the kind of major changes that are many times called for and suggested by my instruction. I like to see evidence of change when we use the video multiple times, […]

Ryan has been a faithful member of the website for quite some time, and he has done some very nice work on his swing, especially when it is viewed from down the line. He compresses nicely on the backswing, bring the club up smartly on the shaft plane, and gains depth with the hips while […]
