GURU TV (Archive) featuring Jason Helman: Canadian National Teacher of the Year


Jason Helman, John Graham and Me

In honor of his National award, Canadian Teacher of the Year, I thought I would re-air this Guru TV special. Now I can say that I knew him before he hit the big time. Congratulations my friend, you are the best. I can’t wait for the sequel. Also a rare appearance (on my lesson tee) from one of the most versitile training tools on the market, THE SWINKEY. Twitter building friendships at its best. If you are not on twitter, What are you waiting for?

GURU TV – Impact Work


In this video, I show one of the ways that I help to develop a better impact position with my students. Pay attention to the young man who does the demonstration as he is going to be a good one. His name is Aaron Walker. Please share some drills or ways that you help your students with this all important area of the golf swing?

Winter Practice – Mirror Work


As we all get cabin fever this winter, I am constantly getting questions of how you can work on your golf game indoors. There are several ways to be effective inside but few are as valuable as “mirror work”. Of course you can putt in the house (hopefully with the Kure) and chip balls into the sofa, just don’t skull it please……..but standing in front of a mirror and going through the positions that you are trying to change can be helpful. Slow motion swings require patience but can change you faster than banging balls at full tilt when it is difficult to actually feel everything that is going on. So before you start your mirror work here are a few rules:

1) Understand what you are working on and where the club and your body should be. Hopefully your instructor has made it clear to where the club should be or body positions etc. ( If not you could be doing more harm than good)

2) try a weighted club, a swing fan or an Orange whip trainer to your session for a bit of a fitness workout.

I will be shooting a few videos on this subject when I get the time but until then, enjoy a video archive on changing the club face in the mirror.

GURU TV – “The J and J Show: Biomechanics and Body Motion with Special Guest: Jason Helman


I was very flattered that Jason Helman, 2010 Ontario Section Teacher of the Year, contacted me and wanted to come on the “Guru TV” show. We had a great time talking about golf and teaching as we spent the afternoon together as he passed through on his way back to Canada. We shot 2 impromptu videos with very little planning. We just fired up the camera and let it rip. I hope you enjoy.

GURU TV – Faults and Fixes episode 1: “The takeaway”


Leave your faults ideas in the comment area and I will give you the fix and a drill that will help. I have simplified my way to fix the rollers. I still believe there are several ways to take in away (see one piece/2 piece archive video). I know there are exceptions to the rule but the majority of world-class players keep the club shaft ON or ON TOP of the shaft plane. Coincidence, I think not. Good luck with your takeaway and let me know how it goes.
