WATCH: What does a golf teacher work on with a Tour pro’s swing?
In this video, we talk to one of the most well-established golf coaches in the world, David Leadbetter, along with one of his students, two-time Solheim Cup player Jodi Ewart Shadoff who finished 2nd in the Women’s British Open in 2017. We talk a little bit about what Jodi’s swing used to look like, and what David has done to help her. We also have a short discussion about how you can improve your game.

3 coaches watching her hit balls and none correct her being stuck?
lack of power, dispersion and well inconsistency.

Leadbetter’s teaching has come a long way after his “2 year experiment” with Faldo (many years ago when he used a persimmon wood) and admitted as much in his Faldo book. Sometimes the student teaches the teacher.
Of course it’s easier to straighten out a talented golf swing than trying to rebuild a decrepit hacker’s inconsistent swing. Trying a bandaid patch up a bad swing is futility and not a pleasant teaching experience.
