Online Lesson: Tanner Wieringa- Eliminating Upper Body Lean in Transition Should Produce Great Results

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

 Hi Wayne, my name is Tanner Wieringa (wear-inga), Im 20 years old and have been playing the game for 2.5 years. I am around a 10 hcp and I struggle with my irons. I would like to be able to compress my irons better and be able to control the club face as my shot dispersion is not consistent. Thank you and I look forward to the lesson! Tanner has done a great job with his swing in only 2 ½ years and judging from the videos I would bet that one major fix will have a huge impact on…

Online Lesson: Will Madden- Using Ground Pressure to Help Transition Issues

By Wayne | Videos: Online Students

Watching Will’s swing the first thing I noticed even at full speed was the initial widening of his wrist angles in transition, a movement that has been called “casting” but with the newer anatomical descriptions is now “ulnar deviation” of the left wrist and “radial deviation” of the right wrist. Looking for a reason that this is happening I start at the beginning of his swing and suggest that he center his set up rather than start with more pressure on his left side. In the takeaway I’d like to see more extension away from center with the right arm…

Basement Tapes Three Part Series: Part Three: The Transition and Downswing

By Wayne | Videos: Basement Tapes

Tired of a steep transition that puts you in a difficult position to strike the ball consistently well? Don’t know how or when to turn your left wrist down to set yourself up for elite level impact? Do your hands drop too far back and down in transition leaving you stuck? In this lecture I cover in detail how to achieve the highly desirable flat-to-steep transition plus how and when to move from flat-to-steep into the downswing setting you up to deliver high quality impact.

Basement Tapes: The Transition (Video 3 of 5)

By Wayne | Videos: Basement Tapes

I’m still in the basement and for the third segment of this five-video “Basement Tapes” lecture series I’m talking about “The Transition”. The transition from backswing to downswing is a very important part of the golf swing. For the purposes of this video I’m describing the transition as being from P3 to P5. There are three positions that shaft can have at the top of the swing and I discuss the variations needed to make each work. I also cover some of the things you’ll want to avoid. Of course I have my preferences and I go into detail on why. Sequencing is a big part of this segment. Stay tuned for the next installment of Basement Tapes”: “The Downswing”.

Swing Analysis: Charles Howell III- Perfecting his Transition

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

In the past I have looked at Howell’s swing (I believe I’ve done at least one video on him) and wondered why the odd move at the top of the swing where the hands move backwards and down momentarily in transition. I taped the Match Play and caught this clip of Charles rehearsing his transition and downswing with the type of move I’ve been hoping he would use. It’s one thing to rehearse a swing change and another thing to put it into action, but the swing (a 3 wood) shows that he has vastly improved his swing. I think it looks great and that he will break through with the big season he’s never really had (his stats are mind-boggling: 17 years in a row with between 1.25 and 2.85 million dollars in earnings with 2 wins and 16 seconds).

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…
