The best ball striker...

[Redgoat]

Without question, this guy is the best ball striker I have ever seen. I have been playing with him for 25 years and his swing has changed very little. Over three rounds last summer he missed 2 greens. It may be funky, but it is effective.

His swing looks a bit like a taller version of Moe Norman's. Is he long as well as very straight?Thanks.

Awesome halfway down position..

On plane, flat left wrist, lag .... not suprised he hits it so well...

Can I ask ... what is his stock ballflight?

 

[Redgoat]

High, beat draw with the driver. Irons mostly straight.

I say..wat's wif these loopy swings being so effective?

Is it the camera angle or is he addressing the ball of the ferrule?

 

[ragman]

Looks like K

Doesn't have any "throwaway" post-impact. Solid.

He looks like he's long...longer than Furyk, at least.

It looks like the clubhead is off the ground.

I initally thought, "A combination of Furyk and Moe Norman".

Great stable right leg/knee position....

 

[MizunoJoe]

What jumps out at me is the fact that his right shoulder doesn't drive down on plane, but rather his arms/hands drop down behind him independently of the right shoulder, which remains very "high". The right shoulder is at the same height in frames 5 through 8.

..Beautiful right knee flex...and constant spine angle...

There are many great things in this swing. Raelly great.

An interesting element is a faders type backswing pivot and a drawers type power-package on the downstroke.
