If no one tells you thank you for this analysis just remember I did. I sure do want to look at that ten million dollar swing. Great narration and good to see some fresh material too.

@danason20501 Thanks for the "thanks." :)

not sure i would recommend much of this swing to anyone. Bill is a world class athlete with the flexibility of a contortionist. but most people would struggle to work with that straight right knee, across the line position at the top of his swing, and overall loss of shape. i think even he struggles with consistency because of these issues. but great talent and enjoyable video!

Thing of beauty! He was swinging really well at the Tour Championship!

Nice analysis

Thanks Herman! I thought I noticed the same thing but defer to your eye for validation as to why he was hitting to the right on a few shots late. I wanted to ask does a lot of the power generated come from the relationship of the right hip and hands at contact? It seems like my most compressed shots come when i have this feeling at impact. Thanks again another great review for those of us who have been totally HERMA NIZED :)

@MrDoobie834 There's certainly a timing relationship there. Think about landing a solid punch. You don't want your trailing hip to fire completely before the punch lands, and you don't want your arm fully extended before landing it either. With Bill Haas and most great ball strikers like Ben Hogan, they get the right forearm very low moving into a sidearm hitting action with right elbow typically right in front of right hip and riding it to the ball. The hip and arm mesh & fire through it.
