“Jules, it looks like you’ve worked hard on your action. It’s difficult to be totally subjective without seeing your ball flight but it’s a great swing. “I feel your right hand grip creeps a little ‘under’ or strong and your hands set back. This means you have to create a little too much roll or hand action in your backswing to...

Well this is a great example of using a Moe Norman like action. Norman was an interesting character with great talent. Perhaps, like the Frosby flop, there is another ‘non-traditional’ way of getting the job done that is just as good or even better!

“You have a good looking action with a great tempo and style into the finish. Under closer scrutiny there are two or three small things in your action which need addressing in order to promote more consistency and better ball striking. “At set up your right arm tends to ‘climb’ too high and on top of your left arm. This encourages you to...

“Playing off nine golfersmudge you’re obviously doing alot of things well and your preparation looks good with the grip and set-up, other than your elbows/forearms being forced together a little too tightly. “Your faults actually come from ‘over rotating’ your forearms too much in your backswing. This points the shaft too much behind you and also opens the clubface too early causing the...

From this camera angle I can study the shape of your swing and it looks very neutral, not too inside or out. “Looking at your swing I would think you hit it pretty straight, but without seeing your ball flight and grip, from this angle it’s difficult to tell accurately. “Your ball flight is your...
