Below are links to sample lessons for different swing faults. I won't teach you to totally rebuild your swing. It's easier to fix your swing than for you to learn a new one! Let's work with what you got and get you back on the golf course having a good time.
First I analyze some touring pros so you can see even THEY have some swing faults. Not a problem! Learn what swing faults you need to fix and what faults you can keep under control.
Touring Pro Analysis
• Tiger Woods - An analysis before and after doing improvements with Butch Harmon.
• Hale Irwin - Bad backswing...great downswing!
• Jim Furyk - This will make you dizzy.
• Ernie Els - Notice how well he rotates his forearms through the impact zone.
• Sergio Garcia - Here's a great example of how you need to drop your arms on the downswing, NOT spin the shoulders.
Typical Swing Fault Analysis
• Proper Example - PGA Tour Player Grant Waite
• Bad Set-Up - You have to start from the right position
• Chest Swinger - The arms MUST move quicker than the body
• Hands High At Address - Common set-up problem
• Place Head Behind the Ball - The club starts at your front shoulder!
• Underneath the Plane Takeaway - Difficult to recover from.
• Example of How You Can Revert Back After Improving - Maintenance!
• Sample Analysis for Pain - This is a sample lesson for a golfer who was experiencing severe pain in his elbow and back.
• Palm Up, Scooping - Usually goes with "Over the Top"
• Over the Top Swing - Starting your downswing with your shoulders
• Sliding with Your Front Hip - Could make you reversed pivoted.
• Only the Downswing Counts - The path to the ball will determine direction
• 90 Degree Spine Angle - Mandatory for a proper address set-up
• Beginner Lady - How quickly one can improve if you don't get too technical
• Open and Steep to the Plane - The most common fault I see.
• Getting Your Shoulder Behind the Ball - The second most common fault
• Reverse Pivot - The third most common fault...maybe it's tied for second with the shoulders...the problems are related.
• Developing Lag or Angular Acceleration - What you need to have for distance.
