What is Hunter Mahan's "pattern?"

[geohans]

He has the freest looking swing, but it looks like he tries to hit a huge cut every time. Can someone clue me in?

 

[Jim Kobylinski]

It is sorta like a never hook again type pattern and yes it's designed to produce a cut

I thought I heard them say his normal shot is a draw...

Wrong.

But they did say it.

Wrong.

I didn't know they said that, but he normally plays a cut. If he wanted to continually play a draw from that pattern it would be very difficult.

He's a Haney parallel planes guy. His dad is on Haney's teaching staff at the Golf Ranch.

You can kind of tell by his follow through - his through swing looks a lot like Tiger's - especially during the practice swings.

Interesting, his backswing looks nothing like what they usually teach
