Shaft Position at P5

In this video I look at the swings of 4 Tour players from last months tournament at the 2019 Greenbrier Classic. I focus on where their shaft is when the left arm is parallel to the ground in the downswing (P5). The eventual winner Joaquin Niemann is the flattest and has the most shaft shift in transition, while Adam Long and Scottie Scheffler both flatten slightly with a hands out move, and Robbie Shelton is the steepest by far, flattening the shaft much later. All obviously are effective, and I always marvel at the wide variations in technique that produce great results. That’s why it’s so hard to predict if an extremely good college player will ever be successful on the big tour.
