Here is a video of Adam Scott and Tiger side by side. In the facing portion notice how the right leg stays motionless. No lateral movement at all. There is a turn of the hips but no sliding. From this position it gets easier to initiate the downswing with the lower body.

I’ve always been self-taught and gave up the game up for a long time took it back up a couple of years ago. I was able to get my swing back for the most part but then I started to really struggle. I never had a formal lesson in my life until I met John. His knowledge and experience with the golf swing has helped me tremendously to where in a short period of time he had me hitting the ball a lot better than ever. He will definitely get me to where I would like to be as far as the level of my game I’m trying to achieve. He is definitely the teacher that can get that done 100%. I have referred a couple of other gentlemen both at totally different levels of their game and he has helped them as well. If you’re looking for a truly professional teacher look no further John Marshall. He IS the man.
Hi John, Thank you for the feedback. I also greatly appreciate the videos with commentary. Super helpful! I have a few specific things to work on which is what I was hoping to get out of the lesson. Really enjoyed it and appreciate your input. Thanks again.
Hi John. When I came to you for an initial lesson last week I was ready to throw in the towel. I had lost an incredible amount of distance and the accuracy portion of the equation wasn’t much better. Short and crooked is not a fun way to play golf. Within minutes you showed me how to stabilize the clubface from set-up to follow through which had me hitting it exactly where I was aiming. Then you explained how power is created through rotation and not lateral motion. Not only was I hitting some of the longest shots of my life but the swing seemed so effortless and easy on my body. All of a sudden I’m excited about playing golf again. Can’t wait for or next session to keep taking my game to the next level. Thanks SO much.
I’m a brand new beginner to the game, and at 45 I have no idea what the heck I’m doing. John was able to give me clear and concise instructions in an encouraging manner while not overwhelming me. I feel like my fundamentals are already stronger, and most importantly, I was able to go back to the driving range a couple of days later and reproduce the same results I generated in the lesson. I would absolutely recommend John for new golfers or for those looking to improve their game.
John has improved my game GREATLY. The lessons are fun and he is a great coach. He is incredible at identifying both small details you are missing as well as larger issues that are more apparent.
Anyone looking to putt, hit straight shots, improve driver distance, or anything in between – John is your guy.
Mike Austin advocates a lateral shift of the hips going back and through on all the youtube videos I watched of him.
