Grant Waite - Swing Sequence
 

Hitting a Cut!!!

It Grant a TGM guy? Good ballstriker?

BTW right forearm not so on plane at address...but look at impact.

Left wrist looks bent at the top...no?

Prior to working with Chuck, he worked with Ben Doyle.

Lets not forget, our good buddy, Matt, caddied for Waite a few times after Evans.

Its a good looking swing. Didn't he stop working with Chuck because he said that TGM taught him hook mechanics?? I am sure that I read that somewhere, I might be wrong.
Does anyone know who he is working with now?
Alex

If it produced hook mechanics, then hinge action lessons were lost on him.

If he is working with anyone- its as a salesman. hahahah

He has dropped out of sight, deeper than Duval.

His best finish on the PGA TOUR in 2005 is T31st at the B.C. Open. 31st at the BC !!

I do like the guy- perhaps a visit to Yoda.

I'm pretty sure he's working with Mike Bennett, originally from my club in Upstate NY and now teaching somewhere in NJ. Mike was a long time disciple of Mac O'Grady.

I should not have been so glib. Mike Bennett is also working with Steve Elkington, Greg Norman, Tommy Armour III, Dean Wilson, and Tom Scherer, as my ‘sources’ report. All disciples of Mac.

Grant worked with Mac in 1995/96, the same time period that Steve Elkington, Vijay Singh, and Seve Ballesteros were seeing him as players. Andy Plummer was seeing him as an instructor then as well.

just this last

His right side looks too high through impact. Hitting cuts and pulls from what I see.

Right forearm and shaft are not in alignment at address. He has to compensate to get it inline at contact.

Grant worked with Mike Perpich a Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher as well. He worked with Mike right around the time he battled Tiger in the Canadian Open. Mike went to Mac O'grady with Jodie Mudd.

So Grant is definetley following the Morad system. He has a great understanding of the swing. He can definetely do different models. Hitting and Swinging. Snead and Trevino. Window 9 and 5.

I have heard stories from pretty reliable sources on his lack of confidence, which may affect his play. But he is very knowladgeable and anytime he speaks on the golf swing I listen!

Also in the sequence above I would note how similar Grant's set up is to Jodie Mudd's set up. Hands very close to body at address. Mac has also done this model.
