Lesson of the Week: Jake Ruben

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Jake is a member of my club and has not taken a lesson from me until this past week, although he has been playing there for a number of years. He told me that he hasn’t taken lessons at all for about 5 years, but has still managed to become a scratch golfer. He has become tired of his erratic play in competition, however, and finally bit the bullet and decided to try to fix some of the funkiness that he was aware of but unsure how to go about changing. You will see what I mean when you look…

Lesson of the Week: Jim Heerwagen

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Jim was visiting the DC area from California and had been a member of the website for some time so he decided to pay a visit. He had recently been to a golf school where he reported that he had worked mostly on tempo and balance. I found that to be interesting as it turned out that we wound up working on the very same things, as you will see in the video.   The first thing I noticed in watching Jim hit some full shots was how slow his swing looked. We talked a bit about what he had…

Student Lesson: Kenny Engel

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

This is an interesting view of how I initially look at a swing, decide what items need the most attention, then go through different shots and drills to try to narrow down what the root causes of the problems might be. It is obvious from the first swings I show here that Kenny has issues with his sequencing, his path and his impact alignments, but it appears to me that the impact is much worse than the rest of the swing leading up to that point would suggest. In other words, I see many players who achieve an approach position…

Student Lesson: Ben Lieberman

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Here is a new young student of mine named Ben Lieberman. Ben is a good size kid and can play well having won his club’s Jr. Championship. His dad was a bit suspect of his technique and thought it could be improved so Ben could become an even better player. In this video we see that Ben has some things I really like to see in a swing; deep hips, compression in the backswing, etc. Ben also came in with a strong grip and tight, locked-up, arms at address and the tight arms would prove to be a bit of…

Online Students: Ryan Groves Part 2

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Ryan has been a faithful member of the website for quite some time, and he has done some very nice work on his swing, especially when it is viewed from down the line. He compresses nicely on the backswing, bring the club up smartly on the shaft plane, and gains depth with the hips while moving symmetrically with the legs and knees. His shoulder, arm, and wrist angles are all quite good as he approaches the top of the swing, but unfortunately the top doesn’t’ come soon enough and the swing goes back overly long, causing some sequence problems and…

Online Students: Rob Kane

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

I think it is so cool to be able to try to help someone from the other side of the world. Just thinking about the advances in technology over the last decade can make your head spin. Rob is from England, and here we see a classic right arm action issue, one that if you have watched a bunch of these lesson videos you find crops up quite often. Rob has a bunch of good stuff happening in his swing, and does a great job of returning the shaft pretty darn close to the original shaft plane on his approach…
