Must See Video! Right Arm Action Revisited

One of the most watched videos on this website is one I did a few years ago on the movement of the right arm during the swing. I probably get more questions about the right arm than on any subject, and I have given a lot of thought to the subject since I filmed the first one. Here I’m in my basement going over my latest thoughts on how the right arm should function during the swing from address to the approach to impact. I think you will find some new ideas that will help, especially if you are one…

Lesson of the Week: Jeremy Wells Part 2

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

Jeremy has been coming to me for a couple of years and has improved to the point where he is going to turn professional and try to make a living playing the game. He won a college event this year and finished high in a number of others, along with making it to the semi-finals to the Virginia State Amateur and finishing 5th in the Virginia Open. Jeremy has become a student of the golf swing and would like his swing to function like the greatest players, which is why he has always been keenly aware of his flaws in…

Lesson of the Week: Tim Oyler

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

It’s pretty flattering when a guy whose business is promoting golf instruction DVD’s and websites comes all the way from Oklahoma to take a lesson. Of course, there are far less tornados in Maryland than in OK, so that could be part of the reason. Anyway, Tim is a very good player who, like many you see here on the website, has an impact problem caused by a recalcitrant right arm. The lesson here highlights just how difficult it is to change this particular habit, as you can watch Tim’s right forearm tip to more horizontal no matter what thought…

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…

Lesson of the Week: Justin Duffie Part 4

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

We have seen Justin’s swing improve by leaps and bounds over time but I thought this was an interesting lesson because you don’t usually see drill swings produce exactly the changes you are looking for. When you have spent most of your golfing life swinging poorly as Justin has there are things late in the swing that you just aren’t going to have any clue about doing correctly. Now, however, he is in such better position approaching impact that he has a chance to drive his right side through the impact area and perhaps produce better contact and some sustain…

The P.A.T. Project: Student Lesson: CJ D’Arco Part 4

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

As you know if you have watched the previous videos of CJ’s swing, we are attempting to get through the Player Ability Test for the PGA of America, which is a must if you are going to continue on in your quest to become a PGA Member. Most of the requirements to be a PGA Professional are book learning (you have to attend 3 different weeks of “business school” and pass tests on the information presented, as well as completing extensive course work in workbook form), but one requirement that presents a major hurdle for any aspiring pro who is…

Lesson of the Week: Justin Duffie Part 3

By Wayne | Videos: Lesson of the Week

You’ve seen Justin before, and you probably have not forgotten the lesson video as it is one of the most extreme transformations in golf swing technique by an experienced player that you would have ever seen. Still, as far as he has come, we still have a ways to go, which is a testament to just how bad it was when he first came to see me at Woodmont. He has not relaxed from his search for better technique, so we keep at it two hours at a time and work relentlessly to get his right arm to move in…

Online Students: Joakim Strom Part 3

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

If you thought you had obstacles to your quest for a better swing due to time constraints or weather you can’t help but be inspired by Joakim Strom, seen here working on his swing in a veritable closet, using a mirror in order to get a front view with his camera and having to cut his forward swing off at just past waist high. When I see this I see a great example of dedication and desire, and the progress Joakim has made with his swing is a testament to those qualities. The side by side with his swing of…

Online Students: Rob Kane Part 2

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…

Online Students: Brandon Nagler Part 4

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Here we have another great example of player showing marked improvement in all aspects of the swing while retaining the same annoying patterns that weaken his impact. Most of the students I teach are able to improve their technique over time, but that improvement is incremental. In other words, the problem areas are still the same and the specific movements that we are trying to change still need changing, but all the problems are less than they were before. Another thing that is common is to come upon one particular movement that seems particularly incorrigible, defying all attempts to get…
