It tickles me to hear the TV announcers gush about Matsuyama’s “great tempo”. The young Japanese star, winner of the Memorial Tournament, is about as unconventional when it comes to rhythm and tempo as you will ever see. Matsuyama’s rhythm is 5:1, which in a world where the vast majority of players use a 3:1 rhythm is like slow motion in the backswing. Not only that, Matsuyama has no “catch” at the top of his swing, preferring to come to almost a complete stop before driving with the hips. It’s not surprising that he is regarded as having great tempo…

Sometimes I analyze a swing for the first time and am fascinated by things I didn’t expect to see. That is the case with JB Holmes, who does a bunch of cool stuff in his swing that allows him to be one of the game’s longest hitters even with what appears to be a less than full swing. It doesn’t hurt that Holmes is super strong, but it is his extreme sidearm throwing technique that really allows him to turn on the power without a whole lot of obvious ground compression / lowering. Holmes adds wrist cock to relatively un-cocked…

I was almost shocked when I saw this swing of Scott’s on television: not because of anything Scott does, but because it is filmed with a stationary camera from the proper angle (behind the hands) and the proper distance away from the player. Imagine that! So, what we get to do is a standard Wayne D. analysis without the problem of camera angles and moving cameras, and we can really see just how good this is and how he has improved from the last time I analyzed his swing. The big thing here is that he has fixed the upper…

Here is an email from Matthew Latham. As you will see, he has an excellent swing that would pretty much defy naked eye analysis. In other words, it looks good at full speed, and I’m sure Matthew has people telling him that he shouldn’t be so “mechanical” and that it is “all in his head”. Of course, Matthew knows that his swing is not producing consistent results, and that what casual observers note about the swing is usually general at best and not worth much when it comes to offering anything constructive to make it work better. As you will…

This is a little different as far as what we usually see in a swing analysis in that Mark has an excellent move that is just a bit too short and compact and comes in with a bit too much sidearm action, the combination of which has him approaching impact from under the plane. I would like to see Mark increase his upper body coil and lower back engagement in the backswing, which I believe would help him produce more power and keep him from over-flattening the shaft in the downswing. He is really a candidate for a hands-on lesson,…

I guess you could say that if Bubba didn’t make the putts he wouldn’t have won the Masters. But over time if you’re not putting for birdies or putting for pars from easier positions you are not going to make as many and will probably not beat someone who is hitting it better than you are. Bubba simply hit the ball better than the competition, which means longer and straighter, and followed it up with a nice short game and effective putting and won the tournament handily. In the video I highlight 3 holes, the tough par-3 4th, the 8th,…
