pampling's swing

[thefuture37]

I'm curious to see what the Manzella academy's view on Rod Pampling's swing is. He has a very peculiar extreme fanning of the clubface open on the takeway, followed by a severe bowing of the left wrist going into impact. He stresses the shaft a lot during the transition and maintains his spine angle great though.

No pure hitter there

One thing is for sure he is not a pure hitter(whatever that is anymore after Dr Zick's research) as his coach endorses. Pure action!

Forget the manzella acacemy only tag, not too many responses from that, what does everyone else think about pampling's "right sided swing"?

Quality theory, simple, and repeatable.

It works.

Slight reverse K setup, hinge back, thrust through...

Easy.

Orthodoxy often gets in the way of simplicity.

Try it for yourself and don't rely on the opinions of others. This is golf, not a medical procedure. Your own/best answers will always be found in the dirt.

Looks like a pretty good swing to me.

I am not so sure about the weight on left side for all these driver shots though. (good thing for him he does not also have a "stacked", reverse-pivot as well)
