Zach Johnson Swing

[myfreegood]

He is one plane swinger even though much less spine angled than Matt Kuchar.

Characterized with flatter in back swing, closed club face, turn around body.

[Gyro911]

Looks like Ben Hogan

[videogamesareforfun]

Zack Johnson hits a draw, it's his favorite shot to hit. He doesn't need to hit a fade.

[msuey421]

lol... 25 handicappers acting like they know something... epic fail

[cmoney1988]

face isn't really shut, his shoulders are just completely flat. Face is square to hand/arm angles..



[michellekwan483]

I want that swing

[KomedyKluxKlan]

so if you keep your head down and dont rotate much, will you turn the face over?

[cnasty1]

@KomedyKluxKlan Yes, because all other things being equal, whenever you swing the club across the front of your chest, your arms naturally turn so that the club closes relative to your target line (but stays the same relative to the arc of your swing path).

[Mpaige427]

@KomedyKluxKlan Yes. You'll hook the living crap out of the ball. ex- Ben Hogan

[staywoods]

He's good.

[jag16]

kred5 his clubface is extremely closed. his forearm isnt pointing straight to the clouds where his clubface is

[petereuropa]

Well, I'm not the right man to judge, but I must say that Zach Johnson has a fab swing too!

It seem so smooth and in control but yet powerful. He really look like a winner.

[petereuropa]

Gentleman Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus has still much to learn the golf players of today. They say it's absolete. (?) But what about Tom Watson on the 2009 Open Championship. I suppose there are always interesting to learn something from the 'old' Masters.

[KRED5]

his club face isnt even that closed the def of square is if it matches ur left forearm at the top of your swing the reason why he releases his body is to dictate the ball flight with the club path not to prevent a hook he does hold it off though because he hits a pretty much straight ball and he comes in shallow which promotes a draw but can shape it either way

[MatrixGuardians99]

whered you get this video from

[GolfSwing100]

Nice Swing

[MichaelOrr1984]

That's to do with safety. Most pro's will fade their drives and draw their irons.

[petereuropa]

Wallahult: I'm an expert! My advice is: don't look at my swing, it's totally worthless. Look at Sam Snead.

[SmallDannyJW]

I wouldnt call Peter Kostis useless as some of the best players in the world clearly find him useful and as a result use him as a swing coach.

[peaceizcool]

i like zach johnson, he is awesome!!!!

[machinenamon]

question: so his swing and Duval's function the same way? Strong Grip -> shut face -> rotate body -> good shot?

[dickin585]

I really can't stand peter kostas. can they please get someone new to do the commentary?

[Jack1015tiger]

Go Zach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bails1080]

a repeatable recovery swing, much better than most. A major dosen't lie.

[ihityourcar]

its so pure

[Wallahult]

I hate these Youtube-golfswingexperts ^^

[TonyStewart11]

Thats neat

[mathaskins]

His club face isn't that shut. The club face largely matches the angle of his left arm. That is how you judge if a club is open or shut at the top of a swing. He simply has a flat swing plane. That is what your club face is going to look like with a flat swing plane.

[brown547]

You are right, his club face isn't shut; the Bizhub commentator is clueless. If understood swing planes, he'd realize that Zach is swinging his club on one plane. His club face matches the back of his wrist, both are facing up at the top which means he has a flat wrist angle, with that, he'll hit it straight every time

[jimbud22]

Zach does have a closed club face on top when swinging his irons and I think these TV "golf color guys" tend to look at there swing notes and not at the guy on the monitor when they get bored. You're right though, pretty square club face with the driver.

[awsumpssum]

in my opinion, if he would raise his left arm gradually throuh impact, it would create a more balanced move through ball in terms of less extreme "correcting" moves. I believe he has more "anti-slice/push" moves in backswing as opposed to "anti-hook" moves through ball and into follow through if that makes sence. :)

[TonyStewart11]

Wow Your Gay Zach Johnson Is way better than u shutup

[Kangaroo1122]

If anyone in the world would not want to swing like that they would be smoking crack. mike teaches the most repeatable swing possible.

[langanct]

solid.. cool vid

[msudawgs2424]

i love his swing. i wish mine was like his. i love how flat he keeps his left arm on the backswing them how flat he keeps his right arm on the follow through. its a beautiful swing

[JTufnell530]

It kind of seems like he stands far away from the ball...but what the heck do I know

[skeetmageet]

did you know that zach johnson ate my at :(

[BirdmanDeuce26]

He has to...with his superstrong grip and incredibly flat backswing, he would be swinging incredibly in-to-out. To combat whacking it on the heel, he has to step back a few inches to allow for the clubface to get to center.

[fercho7441]

PERfecT swinG

[skeetmageet]

u must be smoking crack if u think this swing is perfect

[xedvux]

Not perfect.

Its a draw swing.

[daniel3203]

it aint a draw swing its a fade swing because hes left hand is strong

[xedvux]

No, a weak grip is for fading the ball.

[daniel3203]

i thought if ya had a strong left hand it wuld be a slice and if ya had a strong right hand it wuld be a hook
