Lucas Glover Swing Analysis: Ben Hogan Would Love This Swing

By Wayne | Videos , Videos: Online Students

Lucas Glover has always been an excellent ball striker. The former U.S. Open champion has struggled with his putting for a decade, but in the last month has discovered not only a fix, but a method that now puts him at the top of the putting stats, which, along with his long game, has led him to two straight wins on the PGA Tour and has moved him from 146th to 3rd in the Fed Ex Cup standings. If he doesn’t run out of gas, I can see him winning the whole thing, although that would seem like a…

Lesson of the Week: Eric Cogorno PGA-Center Loading Hips Causing Problems at Impact

By Wayne D | Videos , Videos: Lesson of the Week

When Eric told me I was influential to his coaching career I thought that was very cool, and when he asked me to look at his swing I said, “let’s do it.” Eric does an impressive job with his online instruction, but as you all know us teachers are hyper critical of our own swings and chronic issues drive us crazy. In Eric’s case, he has always disliked his release action, which you will see is surprisingly flippy given that he gets his hands nicely up to the ball at P6 from the face on view. He has plenty of…

Lesson of the Week: Eric Willey PGA- Working on Right Arm Issues

By Wayne D | Videos , Videos: Lesson of the Week

Eric is a former high level baseball player who came to golf later in life and has made great strides since joining the staff at a local country club where he works as an assistant. His swing looked great to the eye due to his athletic fluidity, but the ball was curving quite a bit right to left, which is always a combination of face and path issues. With talented players like Eric the hook spin is commonly caused by an overly in-to-out path combined with a closing face to keep the ball from going directly to the right. The…

Online Lesson: Jon Bui-Lots of Potential but Needs Better Sequence and Right Arm Control

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Jon has a powerful build and has the capability to produce a lot of speed, but he is held back by his lack of right arm width and his over reach with his right shoulder as he completes his backswing turn and the accompanying sequence issue when the upper body is pulled toward the target in transition before the hips have a chance to initiate the movement. If you haven’t noticed from countless website lesson posts these are quite common issues with fairly good players, sometimes young, sometimes older, who try the online lesson platform to get some ideas on…

Brian Muench Online Lesson and Follow-Up: -Addressing Right Arm Issues

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

I met Brian when I worked at Woodmont CC and he was an assistant pro. He has since gotten his amateur status back and had an exciting win in 2018 when he prevailed in the Oak Hill (Rochester, NY) club championship. He is getting close to playing some quality golf and would like to compete on a State Am/ State Open level. He has always had wrestled with the problem you will see here, where the right arm bends and pulls back in transition, leaving it unable to straighten as it heads from P4 to P6, bringing the hands toward…

Online Lesson Phil Pfeiffer: Working on Right Arm Movement in the Backswing

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

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 the player is focused on another one, or two, or even three. On top of that you also need to prevail over the neural pathways you’ve developed over time. Challenging but not impossible and Phil has proven he’s up for the challenge. In the backswing…

Lesson of the Week: Amelie Alcantara- Right Arm Issues Lead to Weak Impact

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Amelie is a 16-year-old sophomore playing for her high school golf team and hoping to improve enough to earn a golf scholarship to college. I first noticed her practicing diligently on the range at Osprey Point where I teach, and noted to a friend that she evidenced an issue that I see constantly with juniors who are thinly built, that of over-turning the right arm and shoulder in the backswing. In Amelie’s case (as you will see) both her hands were on the target side of her head at the top, and the amount of turn was bending her spine…

Playing for Money: Brett Walker- Working on the Takeaway, Backswing Plane, and Right Arm Control

By Wayne | Videos: Playing For Money

Brett had some nice finishes in the PGA Winter Series tournaments last year after seeing me a few times but didn’t play much this summer due to his job, so he wanted to get a look/see as soon as he got back to Florida and entered some events. Brett has the quintessential tour player body (tall, lean and strong) and my goal for him is to simplify his swing by working on 3 things: keeping the club above the plane in the takeaway by using the right forearm takeaway option (he was already mostly there in this regard), keeping the…

Lesson of the Week: Peter Slaven- Right Forearm Takeaway and Centering Setup

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Peter had a nice summer of competition and in this lesson, we continue to try to improve his ball striking by simplifying some important elements of his swing. Peter’s main issue has been the odd hook that occurs less frequently now but still pops up at inopportune times. I see him getting his right arm too deep at the top of the swing and then moving his head back away from the target (as opposed to the more common issue of backing away from the ball). In our last lesson I encouraged Pete to load more to the right early…

Basement Tapes Three Part Series: Part Two: Right Arm and Shoulder:

By Wayne | Videos: Basement Tapes

Would you like to achieve elite level impact? Many golfers can’t reach the level of play they know they’re capable of yet are frustrated because they don’t know what’s holding them back. One of, if not, the main reason a large number of golfers can’t achieve quality approach and impact is the way they use their right arm and shoulder in the backswing. This lecture goes into detail regarding how the right arm and shoulder function during the swing. I show how golfers often overdo it, the correct way to determine the proper length of the backswing based on left…
