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

By on Jun 7, 2013 in Videos: Swing Analysis - Comments { 1 }

  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 shots end up within 3 or 4 feet of the hole, and the disparity in the techniques just goes [...]

Swing Analysis: D.A. Points and Billy Horschel

By on May 17, 2013 in Videos: Swing Analysis - Comments { 1 }

  Two excellent swings here side by side as they battled it out in Texas on Sunday. These are both technically sound swings, with no funky moves and a lot of great positions to go with nice, aggressive rhythm. On display are two nicely on plane takeaways, well positioned shafts at the top, great looking “out” moves toward the ball in transition, and left releases with plenty of right side “cover”. Both players use the ground quite well, with Points making a very noticeable “down” move to start his forward swing. It is interesting that the television announcers made no note of this, as such an obvious lowering is usually cause for some “dipping” remark (such as , “he would [...]

McIlroy, Rose, Oosthuezin, Schwartzel, and Donald Battle in Dubai

By on Dec 28, 2012 in Videos: Swing Analysis - Comments { 0 }

  You know it’s a good tournament if these 5 studs are battling it out in the end. I caught the last 5 holes on DVR and grabbed some interesting shots to look at. Here I make some random observations of various shots, including some putts and short game shots, hit by the 5 protagonists coming down the stretch. Of course, McIlroy birdied every one of the last 5 holes to win, but it’s always cool to watch everything that’s going on with the guys fighting for the lead. Join the forum discussion on this post

So once you get through the musical interlude you will find a comparison of Arnold Palmer and Johnson Wagner, certainly an odd pair (so you have to wonder, (“why do it”?).
