David and I have known each other for some 25 years, and I have worked with David a number of times during that span. He is 65 years old but works at his game and to improve his physical capabilities like someone 30 years younger (actually more so since most people of any age don’t do nearly as much work as David does).

This week’s lesson is a long time student, former major league pitcher Rick Wagener. Rick only plays a few times a month, but as an accomplished athlete he still expects to perform decently and hates hitting the ball with the glancing, cut-across action that his swing tends to produce.

Rick is a long-time friend and my business partner at waynedefrancesco.com and wdglc.com. He runs a software company that produces ease of access programs for major online gaming companies. He is also an avid golfer, and I have been helping him with his swing off and on since we met, although never for any extended period of time.

If you play the first part of this video and try to do your own analysis before you get to my own comments, you should stop reading this copy now and come back to it later, as the idea is for me to summarize what you are about to see.

Zach has been a student of mine off and on for 5 years, although it has been quite intermittent and “off” more than on. In the video you can see that Zach has the ability to change and improve his mechanics, and has always been blessed with the knack for achieving a stellar line of compression through impact. However, he is also prone to reverting back to his old habits when he gets away from consistent lessons and plays more than practicing.

What we see here is a classic case of a good athlete with excellent motion and power but trouble controlling the ball as far as direction and trajectory. What jumped out at me right away was the dropping hands and steepening shaft in transition, and this was our major focus after doing some grip and setup work.

Chris is a first time lesson who has been a consistent lesson taker in the past, but has come off of a back injury that has kept him from playing for almost 9 months. Now that he feels better he wants to start off with a new opinion about what should be trying to do with his swing, and certainly after watching him hit a few shots then analyzing the video I have come up with at least 3 major items for him to work on. What is rare about this particular lesson is Chris’ ability to incorporate the suggested changes almost immediately, certainly something I rarely see but welcome wholeheartedly.

Bill is a website aficionado who decided to drive up to Maryland from North Carolina after enjoying the website and improving his game with information provided by the site. When he arrived he stated his one great desire, “a good takeaway”. He had taken numerous lessons from pros around a wide region, and had never come away with anything he could apply to his swing and use on the golf course.

Steve is a long time student and an avid student of the game who is keenly interested in applying a more solid strike to his iron shots. His tendency is to “pick” the ball off the ground without taking a divot, a result of a lack of pivot rotation which keeps his right side from moving forward into the impact area and beyond. His difficulty stems in large part from a fairly unique (I have never seen anyone else with this particular malady) physical limitation, that of a fused right ankle.
