Swing Analysis: Adam Scott Looking like Old Tiger

Adam Scott has had one of the best swings in golf for a long time. I played with him the first two rounds of the 2001 PGA at Atlanta Athletic Club and it was fun to watch to say the least even though he didn’t play particularly well and missed the cut. It is not surprising that his swing still has the Butch Harmon signature moves in it, and that the video shows it is quite similar to Tiger’s swing from the early 2000’s. The technique is one everyone could model, if only everyone had the physical build and ability…

How to Play Golf: Fowler, Scott and McIlroy Hit Terrible Shots, Then Recover like Great Players Do

By Wayne | Videos: How To Play Golf

This video focuses on a 3-some of great ball strikers all hitting awful shots on a 225-yard par-3, then utilizing their short games to give them a chance to save par. Fowler leads off by fanning a 5-iron dead right off the top of the grandstand, getting a wonderful break when the ball kicks off the roof into the bunker and onto the upslope of the trap. McIlroy follows with another shot to the right, not as far off line as Fowler, and winds up with a far more difficult position in the bunker. You would figure no way would…

Swing Analysis: Great Players, Unconventional Swings Part 1 of 4

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

This is part 1 of a 4 -part series that takes a quick look at the swings of great players who utilize what I would consider to be unconventional (different, quirky, odd, idiosyncratic, weird, strange, etc.) technique. The unconventionality comes in many forms, as you will see. What is so amazing is that every one of these swings has produced excellent results, and each of them belies any attempt to say that “you have to do this or that” to hit a golf ball well. We start here with Robert Allenby, then move along with Annika Sorenstam, Miller Barber, Jimmy Bruen, Bubba Watson, Mark Calcavecchia, Fred Couples, and Dustin Johnson.

Swing Analysis: Adam Scott and Rory Mcilroy

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

It’s always nice to get swings from the television broadcasts that employ fixed cameras. As we know, any hand held camera precludes the use of drawing lines to see where the movement occurs in the swing because It is impossible to hold a camera perfectly still while filming. Usually at a Tour event the fixed cameras are on tee boxes for obvious reasons, and in this case we have both Scott and Mcilroy teeing it up on a par 3.

Swing Analysis: Adam Scott’s #1 Swing

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

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…

Swing Analysis: The “Hands-Out Move” Dominates the Tour

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I like to go through the TV telecasts that I DVR, pick the interesting swings and load them onto my camera, then load them onto my computer and into my V1, then go through and attach names to them, and then (finally) watch all of them to figure out what kind of video I am going to do. Most of the time I will pick out one or two guys who are playing well and are on camera a bunch and do a swing analysis, or other times, like this one, I will find a general theme amongst the swings…

Swing Analysis: Scott, McIlroy, and Stricker Hit the 100 Yd. Wedge

By Wayne | Videos: Swing Analysis

I thought this was a fairly rare occurrence, with 3 of the best players in the world playing together and hitting almost the same shot on the same hole, while the cameraman actually does a nice job of positioning himself for a down the line shot of each one. Stricker is a recognized maestro with the wedges, and here we see an example of his relatively wrist-less technique. Scott has beautiful lines and a slightly fuller action, while McIlroy seems to take a bigger cut at it and yet brings the ball in lower than the other two. All 3…
