He swings like that but is still better than me. Rather demoralising.

 

[BTatHome]

Wow, that front foot slides so far !!

..... I won't even begin to try and understand the other parts to his swing!

 

[garyinderry]

I love his uber strong grip. Work it boy :thup:

 

[CMAC]

interesting- closes face, bent arms, lots of movement, leading foot leaves the ground, grip looks too strong etc etc etc

but it all comes together at impact- plenty ways to swing a cat.

Did he win by much and whats his handicap?

 

[garyinderry]

No idea. Just came up in my suggestions. Would love to watch this guy play.

Doesn't have to be pretty to get the job done

Was often my thought process on the dancefloor at 2am in my single days..

If you look a lot of the basics at address and in the swing are all good and common to a lot of the better golfers. He just has his own take on the bits you can change around.

Solid fundamentals and a repeatable swing make for a champion I guess.

Awesome impact position, the benefits of youth...

 

[Foxholer]

Probably a consequence of using a fairly heavy Driver - for his age/size - from an very very early age.

He isn't really old enough to be watching vids of Natalie Gulbis!

Nicklaus had a pretty funky head movement in his early teens - apparently 'cured' somewhat by his coach grabbing a handful of his hair and holding it while he swung!

Looks like his left arm has been broken & reset in the wrong position. That happened to a boyhood pal of mine and he struck the ball superbly. Turned pro & won the Dutch Open in 1973.

Looks alright to me.
