Derek is a 2 handicap who can shoot under par but is susceptible to high scores due to a stubborn hook with the driver and some overall inconsistency with his ball striking. One thing he surely has plenty of is forward shaft lean, and in the video I go over why that is not such […]

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 […]

Here we see a familiar pattern where a lifting pivot in the backswing causes the club to lay off significantly at the top, which in turn causes the shaft to steepen immediately in transition. This flat to steep progression is a good thing if it happens where the flattening is caused by the initiation of […]

Brandon has made some significant changes in his swing so far, and now is in position to make a major breakthrough in his technique. There wasn’t much he could about getting his right arm to move the right way and his hands more forward at impact until he got rid of some of his movement […]

The word I use a number of times in this lesson is “subtle”. Noah has what would appear to the eye to be a technically sound swing. Without a proper analysis (which means video with a stable camera and shutter speed along with the V1 software technology) it would be very difficult, if not impossible, […]

When a student goes to see a teacher they are going to find out what that teacher prefers right away. In Jeff’s case I prefer the right arm to have space, or “carry”, in the first part of the swing, so that when the shaft is parallel to the ground the hands have moved away […]

Here we see one of the most common ways to get the clubhead “stuck” behind the hands in the approach to impact. David starts with the “triangle” look at address, which always looks tight to me, and I encourage him to go the “home plate” address (a la Hogan) where both arms are bent at […]

You have seen Joey before, and what you find here is more or less a repeat of the last lesson I posted. Joey is a very good junior (he won the Optimist International Junior Championship this year at the Champions course in Palm Beach, Fla. against an international field) but his excellent play has come […]

If you missed the first installment of the P.A.T. (Player Ability Test) Project with CJ D’Arco you should know that CJ is a young aspiring assistant pro at a neighboring club who, in order to gain status in the PGA of America, must pass the playing test by shooting somewhere in the neighborhood of 78-78 […]

One of the things I have to do after watching a swing and looking at exactly what it is doing (although now it seems that the opinion is growing that without a Trackman no one can really see fully what is going on) is to try to come up with reasons for the movements that […]
