Very unorthodox swing but hey it works the only problem is I fear is that because the swing requires so much athleticism he will be forced to change and adapt it as he gets older which is hard to do
@chakenfangersaregood if you watch Daly, he has less of a turn. He just compensates by making a full hip turn with left heel off the ground, bent left elbow, and cupped left wrist.
Definitely a young man's action. Though many pros adapt as they get older, Jack changed, Watson changed, Tiger changed, and they all stayed competitive.
@TyKUHN08 people like you make me facepalm "doesnt have a good swing" you cant have a bad swing and make millions of dollars when you are barely old enough to drink a beer by playing golf against the worlds top competition. i suppose you should coach him to a good swing so he can improve and make it to the big leagues... o wait
i always hit a draw, for almost every shot unless i have to hit a fade. but i hit it a lot differently thatn him. i take my shoulders wayy back, i stand a little more upright, and the big thing is my hips are actually closed not open. should i open them more and if i do would i still hit a draw?
This is much like Olazabal from the top of the downswing through impact. It would be interesting to know Fowler's driving accuracy vs. the field. I seem to remember the main criticism of Olazabal's game being his poor driving accuracy, but always thought his swing was suited for iron accuracy.
Take a lesson kids, hips stay in front of the shoulders all the way to impact. Hips more open to the target line than the shoulders untill well into the follow through. Maybe you can't do it like Ricky, but even a few degrees difference is better than none. If you can do that and maintain your angles and posture, you are going somewhere.
Really interesting how his left arm breaks down entering impact. That is a little unusual and more often seen with an amateur swing (uh - like mine...) -- but what do I know, the guy is a hell of a ball striker. I wonder if he gets any grief for this elbow flex from his coach.
@claytronica23 Yeah...I'm 49 and I was taught to keep my left arm as stiff as a board...It seldom breaks down when I swing. I've swung the same for 40 years, not sure I could emulate Rickie's swing if I had to.... I think I'll hit the range and give it a try, however...
@scottyray12 because he's got a super flat swing, his take away looks real upright but he has like the second flatest swing on tour, so he bends his knees alot and swings real flat around that angle , nice power move, but if your not a pro real hard to get all the way through the ball without blockin it when ur swingin that flat
@scottyray12 yea he's real impressive, he'll be real real good at this rate,but yea with the bent knees it can alow for a lil more turn and more power, and the lower you are the more balance you have, but if ur not a pro its real easy to not get that front hip out of the way fast enough and ur body is in your arms' way and then you push/block the ball out to the outside and hit it out of the fairway
@guitaristbiker I worked on getting that low all weekend. I was hitting more fairways, but had a some scuffs as well. I just have to get adjusted to new level to keep from grounding out the club.
@scottyray12 yea, i mean for someone his size that needs to hit it a mile on tour its good cause it gives him more of that rubber band effect, but i mean just a good happy medium where ur not super low like him but not standin up straight, just kinda like that short stop position, thats great, and then you just gotta make sure you get that front hip out of the way so everything can swing through, how ever you don't wanna have ur weight hangin back though cause you'll push it right too
