Plane, plane, plane
Haney is very much a John Jacobs disciple. Quite simple instruction, and very ball based. He is very big on swing planes and paths according to shot results. He was very instrumental with O'Meara, that's how Tiger hooked up with him they say. He actually studied under Jacobs and Jim Hardy. Here's a recent quote about him while he was with tiger at a range

"Indeed, the lessons begin once the ball is in the air. From there, Haney works backward to impact and swing plane, helping a player to visually understand how he makes a shot. To Haney, the feedback is simple: Whether the ball goes high or low, left or right, trajectory offers the most valuable clues. "

"When it's all said and done, you're back to the same fundamentals," Haney says. "It just changes the order you work on them."
