If you try and say something bad about his swing, you can go to hell.

his swing is too perfect, his turn has such amazing tempo, his hips and upper body turn in unison. You can see the dude in white behind him swing and on his downswing you see his hips turn first then his upper body but not geoff

[pbrownist]

Gotta learn that first move from the top. His right elbow was right in his side and the shaft was so bent. What a great swing and you do a great job capturing them. I'd rather learn off these than look at lessons given elswhere on the net. Great job.

i could watch this swing for hours

[helenathena]

the shaft is suppose to be like that at impact thats why when you buy a shaft they ask you for stiff xstiff regular or flex

[TheSwingCheck]

On the side view, the shaft bending during the down shows that he accelerated at the top ( shaft bending backward). Then he de-accelerated after a quater turn (shaft bending forwad). He Kept same speed and finished the swing. Anyone agree with me?

[philebbesen]

i disagree. the shaft is sapposed to be bowed like that at impact. go watch a video of jamie sadlowski and pause his swing at impact its insane.

[JEEDAB123]

thats a good guess but the thing is, the camera that was used is quite deceptive because it lense of this particular one distorts it to make it seem more than it is. For the most accurate type in swing vision next to the golfers name. (best camera)

[cmochrie]

hahahahahha are you robert allenby???... or stuart appleby???!?!??! cuz you cannot say shit about ogilvys swing... just for reference why do auzzys names end in Y's!?!?!

[TheSwingCheck]

I was a volunteer at the Barclays 2009 hole #8 marshal. On the pro-am day, Ogilvy had a shot just couple of feet over my head and landed couple of yards beside me. His caddy was kidding to me, "He was aiming aim at you". All I am trying to say is that the pro's are humam too.

Back to the video, I do notice the similar scene in TW, Bubber Watson, the shaft bending forward before impact. Or de-accelerating before impact.

The question is, is this a deficiency in their swing.

[serveitup911]

@TheSwingCheck The shaft bend is an effect of the camera. Because the club head is accelerating faster than the shaft & grip, it appears to be further ahead than it really is. In that frame of maybe 1/120 of a second, the clubhead has moved an appreciable distance relative to the shaft, so the camera captures that end result. If you look at videos with higher FPS, you will not see this effect because the camera is capturing a smaller slice of the action with each frame.

[jtjorger]

the shaft bends forward because his hands are speeding up to impact and almost throwing the club head into the ball

[bennyboi225]

is his natural shot a fade??

[Madisonrvr]

He hits a slight fade, but i'll tell you- i followed him for 18 holes at this year's Memorial in Columbus, Ohio, and every driver or three wood he hit off the tee was absolutely dead straight, a mile high, and a mile long. It was incredible and it looked like he wasn't even trying.

[garrettnhawk]

surprisingly his natural shot is a power draw... I agree with you that it doesn't look like it. but if you look at his hand at address, they are back behind the clubhead which makes the face closed.

[iseekgolf]

Thx glad you like them - The camera I used is a Canon 5D Mark II

[AlexH09]
