2nd lesson
The pictures on the left are from our first lesson, with an iron. The pictures on the right are from today, with a driver. It was ridiculous how much better he hit he ball. The things he couldn't change in 9 years and countless golf lessons have vanished, and he finally heard the sound of compression.

His changes all looked for the best until I got to the last photo, seems he used to swing more left!
(sarcasm; one person thinking I was serious would be too many)
Great work!

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

While his shaft/clubhead path is much better with his driver...his body pivot looks better with his iron swing...shoulder turn more downplane with the iron...but is it the hands not knowing what to do in the iron swing that messes up the iron swing?

Good job man! So what was worked on during the two lessons to get such an improvement from the student? Did you give him a few drills to work on between the lessons?

Wow - nice work Ted!
For those that remember the ol' SNL skit......
[Mr. Robinson] can you say "on plane"... I knew you could... [/Mr. Robinson]

Ted,
They say that the Camera never lies, so exactly how big is the head on that frickin' Driver.  
Seriously, that is quite a transformation.

We didn't even talk about the pivot, at first. We talked about the delivery line and what the hands needed to do. He had no concept of low point. In the second part of lesson #2, we talked about the body's supporting role and the need for the shoulder to move down plane.
There are plenty of (much needed) changes to go. But, his compression changed so dramatically that I wanted him to bask in the audible glory. I was very reluctant add anything else. One thing I learned very early in my teaching: let the student enjoy the sense of accomplishment when a change has been achieved, as more information may make them stumble.
