Who is Aaron seeing for instruction and does anyone know what changes he has made recently?

CRutherford · April 17, 2006

I'm not sure about his instructor, but it's very easy to see that he applies the "modern" swing methods. I have been a Badds fan over the last year or so, and his win is a very concrete start to his career. The golf channel made it clear as to the type of person he was, with the commitee asking him to speak devotionally on Easter Sunday, and that is something I greatly admire about him. But sorry, I don't know who his instructor is.

I can't remember the instructor's name but they said he has compacted his swing a lot more and has switched to a more inside take away.

Isn't it Leadbetter?

Kacper · April 18, 2006

I forget which order it is in but he has either gone from Leadbetter to being independant or independant to Leadbettter. I think the first one, but this was a while ago when I read about it.

God?

I believe he is in the swing setter commercial which would make him linked with Lead. then again, we all know what happened with my boy CH III and he was also in that commercial.

who is his short game instructor? that is what i want to know. he seems to be so solid in his chipping and hit putting, almost squares up his short irons more than most and it produces really crisp, aggressive shots.

He used to be with Leadbetter, but a little while ago went independant, as of now I'm not sure if he has a coach or not. He signed with Leadbetter not long after winning his 2nd Australian Open.

As far as I know he's alway's putted the same way, very quick and decisive, but he is probably the best putter out of the Aussie's atm.

He's had a few resonable result's, but nothing consistent, just enough early in the year to secure his card. I don't think Leadbetter was a good move for him, so he's just now starting to swing a lot better for him. Hopefully it should mean some good result's especially with his putting ability.

Badds is smarter than CHIII, he left Leadbetter awhile ago. His swing was overhauled by the team Andy Plummer / Mike Bennett who also work with Dean Wilson, Grant Waite and Charlie Wi.

Those guys were in Pensacola, I don't know if they still hang out there.

im not sure who does his instruction but the folow through looks familiar, i talked to a couple of my buddys who play on nationwide and their instructors are all teaching that leading edge theory that seems to be very popular now.....the swing is not exactly a full swing, but resembles more of a 3/4 punch with the leading edge held on line for as long as possible after contact !!!

This sounds pretty interesting. Got more info about the leading edge theory you mentioned???
