yes he winds up well, but on the downswing in my opinion is where he really stands out…bump left hip, then rotate…damn!
Is this 1 or 2 plane golf swing..?
Looks more like 1 plane. Elbow tucked in and shaft not much above hit head. Left arm almost parallel to shoulders. Go look at Ben Hogans swing in slow mo.
Your somewhat correct but the amateurs take the club inside because the arms arent doing their job in hinging up only and the body isnt doing it’s job in pivoting. All pros use those two combos, body pivoting and hands hinging, to seemingly put the club on plane all day
Using a mirror at home shows you everything on your swing. I used a simple mirror to get my club back on plane. It feels like Im taking the club way outside but its not actually going outside. From there, my hands and shaft get set perfectly at the top. This is why I love Anthony Kim’s swing so much. It is a great swing to copy and I try to set my swing very much like AK.
@whitepatch342 ahhhhhh… you already said that
I love how long he keeps his head down on the ball. Looks like his head freezes and his body turns around him. So cool
Best backswing in the business. He doesn’t get enough space in his right side coming down though. He has to keep his head down and flip the arms. You can see why he struggles with hooks at times. He’s on such a phenomenal plane though he gets away with a lot. He should hit balls with just his right side to learn more of a chest release as Nick Faldo might say. If i taught him he’d probably hit it 5-10 yards shorter off the tee and win a lot more.
that video can be a cingular commercial.
such a pretty swing….
does it look fast from backswing through to anyone else?
I just found out that i have same birthdate as anthony kim!!!!!! June 19 FTW
@nikepumps123 definitely an up-tempo swing, that’s for sure. he’s got solid fundamentals, but i would not copy his tempo with the driver unless you are as flexible, strong, and fearless as him.
@JAKEHARRIS281 definitley not 1 plane. hes short so most of swing looks like it is on one flat plane – then the club goes above plane in back swing (the last 10 inches his hands move in back swing) then he returns right back to plane set at address on downswing..
must be weird sometimes to realize:
“all these people are watching me practice?”
its pretty much impossible to have a one plane swing no one could put the club on the same degree every time unless they’re a robot
Bahh , hes cheating , look its like throwers in cricket, he’s doing the same cheat move Greg Norman was doing in the 90′s.
@sickwith6661 but yet a two plane swing would be easier? derrrrrpppp
yea, most pros do not take the club back nearly as fast. maybe nick price…Nicholas thompson…snatching the club back can lead to a quick transition, and bad golf.
yeah.. my next door neibor is anthony’s girl friend…
@BKMDbeast ask her to get a bunch of autographs (on balls and gloves, etc…) for you….if you know her personally. Then when youre an old man you can sell em and make your rent one month..
Awesome driving range!!!! xD I want one of those in my back garden, actually in my front garden so I get to show it off to every1 and not let them use it : )
when its in slow motion, the sound of the club striking the ball always sounds like a fart in the bathtub.
@hd4ms that just made me laugh literally outloud hahahahhaha
ever notice that all the young felows have the same poser finish
