If you’ve watched Jason’s previous lessons, both online and in person, you know that he has an excellent swing but has serious problems with his takeaway. In this lesson, we see Jason rehearsing his takeaway nicely, but when it’s time to hit the ball he squeezes his arms together and pushes his left shoulder down as he hyper-extends his left arm.

As you have seen from previous lessons, both online and in person, Jason has a wonderful swing but tends to get off track with his backswing. In this lesson I address his tempo, which I think is too fast for him to really feel what he is doing at the start of his swing, as well as his tendency to push his left shoulder too downward also at the beginning of the takeaway.

Jason has been struggling with his takeaway, he has developed a stutter at the start of the backswing, and more important than to figure out why it happens (other than the physical part) is how to overcome the problem.

Here is another one of those swings where you might be saying “what in the world is wrong with this guy? Why isn’t he out there winning money?” In other words, it looks very good both at regular speed and in slow motion. However, there are things that we have worked on to get it to this point, which is why I use swings from the first face to face lesson I gave Jason to compare to his latest swings.

Jason’s second lesson finds him still struggling with the high approach, and Jason reports in that his divots are steep and left and the contact glancing. He describes the hit as a “swipe”, and is frustrated that while improving his hand path he still has not been able to shallow the approach to impact. I think you will find this lesson interesting as I talk about maintaining width in the downswing, and the effect that narrowing too soon in transition has on the eventual routing of the arms and hands into impact. I put Jason side by side with Adam…

Jason is a young player just out of college who has aspirations to play golf for a living. As you will see here he has a wonderful, fluid, powerful looking action that appears to have all the potential to be successful. Jason, however, has been struggling with his ball striking, or at least the consistency of his ball striking. Many players with nice moves like Jason can hit great shots with all the quality of a Tour player, but not enough times in a round to shoot the kind of numbers necessary to make money. What we see here is…

Jason is just over a year out of college and has been struggling mightily with his ball striking, even though his swing would look great to just about anybody watching it. I was wondering myself what could be so wrong with something that looked so appealing, which just goes to show you that it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been looking at the stuff, if it’s too fast you can’t see it. If I had said “gee, the club must be coming in underneath your hands which is causing a complicated release action that you aren’t able to handle” then…
