Well....

If you know what your're looking at, this is a GREAT swing.

That's why he was my darkhourse pic. Really good stuff (if you know what to look at )

Looks just like Lil Mike.

Damn thats pretty-I like how the hip bump drops that right shoulder and the right elbow gets on plane real early and doesn't even think about going anywhere. Also at the top he's close to having a little cup but by the time he's 1 frame from impact it looks arched slightly. SWEET MOTION

What are you looking at Brian? Please explain!

Not very often you see a pro swing where the neck is not near parallel at impact.

Looking at the ONLY THING that really matters.

The only thing that really matters...

...is what the CLUB does.

did you shoot that? if so that means that was during a practice round, and man that place is crowded

I've liked Vaughn's swing since I first saw him live at the Byron Nelson last year. How does this guy not contend EVERY week!

Great vids Brian. Love the super-clear DTL angle! Feel like I'm watching in Hi-Def!

Thanks,

Robbo

Ya packed....he's the "Augusta native."

Does it matter that his butt does not stick out more on the downswing than it does at address as long as his right arm can get to Pitch Basic? His swing plane is dead on so I guess I've answered my own question. I am still curious about the butt not sticking out more on the downswing as Tiger's does.

Is this a Pivot Powered Hand controlled swing? He looks as though he is just floating through impact, but I bet he is tagging it out there pretty far.

Does the ball know where his butt is?

Heck no.

The "tush line" is an invention of people who have spent too much time drawing lines.

I guess that is the difference between alignment golf and position golf. If the body can produce good swing dynamics to move the club effectively then anything goes.

Go to the head of the class.

Great videos.

So what does his CLUB do that is especially good? I mean, generally it looks good to me but I don't really know what you are specifically refering to.
