Student Lesson: Justin Duffie Part 2

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Justin has been working with me for around 2 years now and is the most improved player I teach on a regular basis. He was a 13 when he came to me and with his swing as it was he was short-gaming it to shoot around that. He is now a 5 and hits the ball so much better it is pretty astounding. His swing technique has improved consistently (not that I haven’t had to talk him down from the ledge a couple of times) and here you will see us working on another major aspect of his swing in…

John excelled at many sports as a kid and still remains in top condition while working as a television producer. He has come to golf late and has played some but has found it to be more difficult than he ever imagined, so much so that he has not been able to enjoy playing due to extremely inconsistent and generally poor ball striking.

Once again, the lesson of the week showcases an ongoing, chronic, troublesome, annoying problem that is keeping the student from bumping up her ball striking a level or two. In this case it is the early release, which is the number on reason people do not strike the ball solidly and take a divot after impact.
