If you want to talk about “natural” swings you have to start with Jimmy Bruen. I compare the swing to Eamon Darcy and Jim Furyk, but the more I think about it I see it as a less conventional Fred Couples, where the club floats to the top any old way then is led down by the body with a side arm throwing motion right out of Hogan.

It may look like this is a fairly out of the box experiment but it is actually going back to something I was very successful with for a good while back in the early 2000’s. I originally opened my stance in 2000 due to an inability to clear my left side, and I won the 2001 National Club Pro with that open stance.

Yes, that’s right all you golfing pundits: Tiger’s head is dropping as much as it ever has. The only difference is that he has evened out the amount between the backswing and the downswing. So please, don’t say that he is not dipping or dropping or squatting or lowering as much now, because he is. The proof is in the swing.

I did a Ryo Ishikawa analysis some time ago entitled “What’s Wrong With Ryo?” and by the title you can tell that I spent most of the video trying to figure out why such a formerly budding superstar had stalled out and wasn’t performing at the level expected of him. This past week Ryo had a very good tournament

In this video I go over a couple of Tiger’s iron swings and a 3 wood swing from this past week’s Tour event in Virginia. It was Tiger’s best tournament in a while with 3 rounds in the 60’s, marred only by a 3 over 74 in the 3rd round.

At first glance this swing may look a little unwieldy, especially with the exaggeratedly open stance, but upon closer inspection I think you will agree with me that it is an awesome move.

Whenever I want inspiration to make my swing better I turn to the Hogan videos I’ve watched a million times. It’s amazing to me that I seem to get something new from them even after studying them for so long, but now that I feel good enough to look at my swing and actually try to practice enough to change it I can see more clearly how he was doing things and how I am not doing those things.

In this vid we see Peter Kostis do a nice piece on Tiger’s tempo change from the range to the golf course with a synched up side by side. It shows clearly that on the course Tiger swings faster and lowers more. I’m thinking that would be the norm for most players, as the range is for “warming up” and a player is not necessarily going full bore on each swing like he is on the course.

This is the first time in a while that I’ve posted my swing, mostly because it’s the first time I’ve actually been able to practice for over a year. I like what I’m seeing here (I’m just getting started and have 5 weeks before my first event) and I think I can now get my body to accomplish what I see in my mind.

One of the side benefits of working with a Tour player is the ability to get good video of other players on the range with a tripod and correct angles. Streels loves Graham’s swing, so when we were practicing next to him he asked if I could take some shots. Graham was hitting his driver […]
