Tom Hoge Swing Analysis: Poster Child for Pivot Compression

By Wayne D | Tour Players and Celebrities , Videos , Videos: Swing Analysis

When I started this website 12 years ago, I called it “The Pivot Compression Golf Swing”, focusing on the fact that most Tour players, and indeed most of the greats from the past, moved downward at some point during the swing and struck the ball with significantly more posture (more bent over) at impact. This idea met with some resistance from TV announcers who thought Tiger’s problems had a lot to do with his lowering, but in recent years it has become not only accepted but encouraged to “use the ground” for stability, power, and timing.
