“Here are the follow-up vids from the recent lesson. In these videos I’m trying to do what you specified as I understood it. My thought is to get the backswing “deeper” by having the left arm work more across my chest and by flaring out the right arm earlier the way you said. I can […]

Looking back at Phil’s second lesson I wrote “Keep the nice takeaway but flare the right arm so it’s not pinched anymore” and in this lesson we see that his right arm is still causing problems. There are so many moving parts in the golf swing that it’s easy to forget about one detail because […]

If you go back and look at some of Phil’s previous lessons, you will see that he has improved his swing quite a bit. There a couple things I focus on here, including bracing in the right foot better and adding a bit of wrist cock to the backswing, but the main idea is to […]

Phil certainly knows what’s going on by now, and he is exactly correct, his old habits are still in there causing problems. For anyone with tendencies to early extend and hump out from under themselves in transition it is death to set up with any appearance of sitting back in the heels. Phil needs to exaggerate the feeling of being up and out over the ball with less knee flex, flare the right arm more in the backswing, and concentrate on creating more tilt in the pelvis in transition.

My actual game on the golf course is telling me that we must be making some real progress. My handicap index is down to 0.6 (the lowest of my life), I’ve had a couple nice tournament results, and I almost never shoot anything higher than about 75 in casual rounds anymore. I still don’t really strike it with consistent solidness, but I just don’t seem to hit very many damaging shots either. It’s like we’ve gotten enough good stuff in there so that I can at least play.

This is the first time I have been face to face with Phil after 5 online lessons spread out over a couple of years. Phil likes the progress his swing has made (or he wouldn’t be showing up in Florida) and I think that if you go back and look at his older lessons you will agree with him.

In this lesson you will see Phil over-doing some of the things we have discussed in his first two lessons, which I think is a very good thing as changes are rarely made unless the player exaggerates new ideas and feeling. Phil’s trigger movement here is a major deepening of the pelvis, but as he loads he drops down and back into his heels and his head backs away from the original forehead line.

This is Phil’s second online lesson and when I compare it with the first one he looks like a completely different person. Starting with the down-the-line view we focus on is Phil’s set up where he’s overdone it a bit by getting too bent over and too far from the ball. The takeaway has improved with the wrist not bowing right away and his right hip has gained more depth, which is another nice improvement.

Hello Wayne! Greetings from Myrtle Beach. I’d like to do a video lesson. A bit of background for you first. Overall I’m a decent player and my handicap is usually in the 1-3 range. I’ve qualified for my State Am several times and won a couple of club championships and small local amateur tournaments. […]
