When a student goes to see a teacher they are going to find out what that teacher prefers right away. In Jeff’s case I prefer the right arm to have space, or “carry”, in the first part of the swing, so that when the shaft is parallel to the ground the hands have moved away […]

Dean has taken a couple of online lessons and has (according to Dean) improved quite a bit. Here we see that we are getting down to the major issue in his swing, which is that his swing pattern is arms away in the backswing, hands dropping back and down in transition while the legs work […]
