Raphael Jaquelin - Samanah Classic Golf Swing Highlights

[Funmichi]

Really, I cant believe how he can hit the ball a longer way with this impressive swing! it looks like a soft test swing!

Hi Jacob,

Why don't you try playing in Asia? Its cheaper money is probably the same as the ones you play in Europe, but above all you will have caddies to carry your bag! :D... Just my thought. I think it will be better for you. Anyway there are world ranking points available as well on our events. This should give you a ticket on major events.

that swing is so solid

[jaacobbowden]

Yeah, he played great all 9-holes...just one costly mistake. It's no wonder he's a main stay on Tour.

2-putt par on 10. Up and down on 11. 2-putt birdie on 12. 3-putt bogey on 13. 1-putt birdie on 14. Par or birdie on 15 (I didn't see what he did on the green). 1-putt birdie on 16. Up and down on 17. 1-putt birdie on 18.

He was just firing at every pin...the one on 18 was tucked back left over a bunker. I would've played to the middle, but he stuffed it in there.

i love that little pre-shot at the start, shows exactly what he's working on, that kind of trap, driving the ball out. i've watched a few of his videos and his trajectory looks immense

[jaacobbowden]

Yeah, I wanted to show the full shot routine instead of just the swing for learning purposes. :-p

I asked him about that pre-swing after the round, and if I remember correctly he said he was working on getting his release down a little better. Apparently, his coach and him thought that on video he had been releasing sooner than they would like. So I guess it was just a little thing to prime his swing on the changes he was working on.
