this is sam, off 8. heres my thoughts on them. here hes hitting a 7i. hes been struggling with hooks and thins. he used to play a sort of swing were he kinda swung up the squared shoulder plane, and straight down again, and aimed alot right with a strong grip. we worked on flattening his swing, and know hes getting a little bit below-plane to above-plane, and catching it thin and draws. we worked on hitting shots from a a posed half way down, with braced weight on the left, and hitting from there.

this is ryan, off 17, aged 11. hes only young, so analysis is not much needed. if anything, theres a little bit of a flip, and maybe spinning out. not much wrong though. very good swing

this is dan, aged 14, off 6. has always had a tendency to get laid off in transition and getting a little right hand throw, and hit big draws and hooks. has really worked hard to stop that tendency. has one of the best looking post-impact positions you will ever see. still hits a little draw, and wants to move towards the fade side of the 'matrix'. we've worked on keeping it more 'infront of him' and cutting more across it
any opinions from all are welcome. and from the Manzella Academy would be much appreciated
