Online Students: Tommy Economou

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Tommy Economou plays on the Rice University golf team and came to me via his father, Michael. This is the first email I received from Mike, and the video is my first analysis of Tommy’s swing.   Wayne: I have been on your website and have learned probably more about the golf in a short period than over the last 15 years. I have applied your preferences to my own swing with amazing improvement, although not consistent. That said Tommy’s swing has improved with knowledge/ incorporation of side arm throwing motion. I will forward swing videos this week for your…

Online Students: Andrew Paul

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Here is the email Andrew sent with his swings.   In 23 yrs. of golf (I’m 53, 6′-4″, 220 lbs., and marginally athletic) could never maintain a steady head. It would always come up and back. Been focusing on lowering it with the right hip going back and it worked thanks to your teaching on the web site. I would like to achieve three things. 1. Body opening up more through impact. 2. Hands not so “flippy” through the hitting area. 3. Finish with weight all the way forward with my right foot straight up on my toes. Seeing my…

Online Students: Thomas Delaney

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

This is the email I got from Thomas’ dad Eddie in answer to my request for some background information. In my first look at the swings I saw a nice, strong motion with a good instinct for hip movement and shaft plane approach. As you will read below Eddie picked up on the lack of lateral movement and his description of Thomas as “laid off” is something I would attribute to the “pinched” left arm In the backswing, which causes him to roll his right arm up to get around the restriction on the left shoulder. This further leads to…

Online Students: David Trungale

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

After watching David’s swings I was interested in finding out more about his golf history before I did the analysis. The following came from David in an email:   “I appreciate the quick response. I started playing golf at age 15 and am currently a 21 year old college student. (I do not play organized collegiate golf, just independently)   I never had any decent coaching when I played varsity golf in High School; my coach was very anti-mechanical and told me not to change anything in my swing. But I still practiced several hours a day. I would hit…

Online Students: Derek Cribb Part 4

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

I think it would be interesting to go back to watch Derek’s other online lessons either before or after this one to see the progression in the first three and then the bit of regression here in the fourth. Derek reported in that he had been playing and scoring quite well a few months prior to shooting these swings but after getting busy with work and life and not having time to practice or play much had run into a poor stretch of play. In analyzing the swing we see Derek’s usual fluid move and stable lower body from face…

Online Students: Laurent Girouille

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

If you ever wanted proof that perfect tempo does not make a perfect swing this would be it. I counted Laurent’s tempo at 24/8, a perfect 3/1, and yet his mechanics have a lot of room for improvement. Here is an email Laurent sent along with his swings, and as I mention in the video he does a great job of self -diagnosis:   Hi Wayne first I want to mention that I loved your site and really enjoy my weekly dose of video golf analysis :) I few word about me : iam currently around 9hcp and still going…

Online Students: Mike Haase

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Wayne, I really appreciated the assessments you made of the videos I sent in. I wanted to take a little time to absorb the information you discussed and to work on a few things before I reached out to you to set up a time to chat. Please let me know a day and time that works best for you. I realize the pga show is this week upcoming. I will not be attending but if you are and your schedule is restricted we can certainly wait until after the show. With that said, there are a few thoughts/ideas I…

Online Students: Chris Mauer

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Chris’ swing is one more example of good lines and excellent sequence and motion being compromised by lack of pivot depth. If you are wondering why I call my general teaching method the “Pivot Compression Golf Swing” it is because there are so many swings that fail to approach their potential due to substandard body movement. Chris does a great job with his aggressive tempo and great rhythm, and for the most part keeps the club right on plane until the approach to impact, where his lack of hip depth causes his arms and hands to come in high and…

Online Students: Stuart Hoare

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

This is a good one to watch as there are some essential items that we go over that I think will really help Stuart’s swing, starting with his balance and posture at address. Stuart sets up with his knees flexed towards the target and a lot of space between the back of his butt and his heels, and as his swing unfolds this has a tremendous impact on the entire ensuing pattern. He demonstrates almost a perfect takeaway, but as the hands reach the top of his swing his arms collapse somewhat, indicating that his “extensor action”, or the feeling…
