TP&C: Ben Silverman Part 3

By Wayne | Tour Players and Celebrities

It’s always satisfying to see any player, talented or not, take in new information and incorporate the changes to improve their swing technique. If you compare Ben’s swing now to what it was 5 months ago you will see how much work he has done to completely change his pattern from a vertical hand drop in transition to a beautiful “out” move that keeps the shaft above his right forearm in the forward swing and allows him to swing left through impact. We have pretty much changed everything at least a little, including strengthening his grip, getting the takeaway to follow the shaft plane and work to more of a toe up position at shaft parallel to the ground, and pointing the club more on plane at the top instead of crossing the line. Ben missed his conditional card at the Canadian Tour Qualifier by one shot, but I told him that he wouldn’t be missing much when he gets comfortable with the changes. I am excited for his prospects and look forward to great things coming up.
