I could have titled this, “Bryson DeChambeau Shows Why Stacking & Tilting Isn’t It,” or perhaps “The Bad Scientist Strikes Again.”
Maybe even “Bryson Throws Same-Length Harpoons.”

First The Flying Foot – Now The Heel Spin!
I have said that of all the sports you can think of, that golf is the only one that has regressed in modern times.
All other disciplines are using science, bio analysis and everything else you can dream up, to improve performance, reduce injury risk and perfect technique.
Golf?
Not even close, my friends, and let me show you what I’ve begun to see more of from Modern Golf.
Seeing The Light About Grip – Hank Haney About Bryson
Now that I’ve seen the light with regards to my own stubbornness in changing a faulty grip (for me, it was an over-strong right hand because I was swinging left-dominant and so was focused on the left hand to the detriment of the right), things are jumping out at me.
For example, Tiger Woods’ former swing coach Hank Haney made comments about Bryson DeChambeau’s struggles in the final round of this year’s Masters, where he started in 2nd place behind Rory McIlroy, briefly took the lead and then tumbled down the leaderboard as the round advanced.
Will It Be Bryson Or Rory Today?
It’s very likely that the winner today will come from the last grouping with Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau topping the leaderboard.
I would say that I’ve posted about this duo more than any other active golfers besides Tiger Woods in recent years, so it’s a WAX Golf special, this last group.
Remember That BDC Swing Tip? He Doesn’t Do It
I advised people earlier in the week to be careful from where and from whom they get their swing tips.
Almost as if to prove my point, Bryson DeChambeau posted a video yesterday of himself playing a public course and trying to set a new course record.
Before anyone accuses me of focusing over-much on BDC – you would be absolutely correct if you did. Continue reading
Gary Player Shows Which Foot To Release (The Step-Around Finish)
The older WAX Nation citizens here will of course remember Gary Player very well. The man nick-named the Black Knight stood only 5’6″ or 168 cm tall, yet he won 9 majors between 1961-74, competing against Arnold Palmer and Prime Jack Nicklaus.
So, how did such a diminutive fellow compete against larger and heavier players during the persimmon driver and Classic Golf Swing era?
Bryson Turns A Swing Flaw Into Modern Golf Instruction
Note: Thanks to long time WAX Nation citizen Chief Cowpie for forwarding me the attached video clip.
This is really getting out of hand – we’ve gone from a time where golf analysts were clueless about mechanics and so tried to explain and excuse swing flaws in a positive manner – i.e. the flying foot became “using the ground” and “vertical lift,” but we’ve reached bottom.
Now, we’ve got Bryson DeChambeau taking a swing flaw – the jumping leading foot to avoid snapping oneself in half due to not releasing the trailing foot – has turned it into swing instruction.
Some Days, I Just Can’t (AKA What Is This Swing???)
Before anyone is even tempted to say in response to this posting, “He’s a world-class player,” or “U.S. Open Champion” or “he’d knock it past YOU, DJ,” let me just respond.
I. Don’t. Care.
This blog is not nor has it ever been a how-to-play-golf site – it is a swing mechanics site and that’s all care about.
They Got To Phil – Mickelson Now Embracing The Flying Foot Syndrome (Face Palm Edition)
I said a couple of years ago that I would tone down my aggressive rhetoric when discussing the Modern Golf Swing and all of its madness.
I am only human however and sometimes I just can’t sugarcoat my despair about how I regularly trip over incredible golf videos and articles, and by incredible I mean, I can’t believe what I’m watching and reading.
Bryson DeChambeau’s Swing Is Looking Good (No, Really)
I got a fresh look at Bryson DeChambeau’s driver swing from the weekend when he drove a 384 yard Par 4 green, and it looks pretty good, form-wise, compared to what he’s been doing before when I’d have a look.
I don’t know if there was a stiff following breeze (there is a good breeze and I doubt it was against, but it could have been a cross-wind) or if it was significantly downhill, but 384 in any conditions is a pretty good pop!
