The women’s game is undergoing a welcome evolution as stylish swings like SH Park’s and Nelly Korda’s are producing greater distance (Park averaged 269 in 2018, Korda 263) as well as accuracy (both hit over 70% of fairways). Both Park and Korda are thin and wiry strong, and both look great standing over a shot. The swings you see here are textbook from the on-plane takeaways to nice positions at the top, excellent hand path in transition and nice lower body work with the hips staying deep and clearing hard. Park tends to drive her right leg a bit more toward the ball through the impact area and keeps both arms extended well into the follow-through, while Korda stays “in the box” a bit better and allows the left arm to fold quicker in the through swing. I found it very cool that each of them produced over 150 MPH of ball speed with the driver on the last hole of the tournament, which is exactly the ball speed I’ve been getting as of late (working hard on gaining more). All in all, two good swings to watch and copy.
