Freddy's shoulder turn is more than 100 degrees ,unlike your swing, Freddy's hands are high and he has that so called "flying right elbow". Jack Nicklaus was accused of having a flying right elbow but it came nowhere near Freddys.Freddy's elbows flies so far it really should have a pilots license *L* During the first part of the downsing he reconnects that elbow to his right hip (this is VERY IMPORTANT).Clubhead speed comes from physics not muscle power.The Golfing Machine's law of the flail.
I'm looking for Freddie's swing in slo mo, and this is what I get. You have a decent swing. Maybe you're a 10 handicapper. But I would never ever compare your swing to Fred Couples. Your instructor is smoking crack. Either that, or he's sucking up to get you to pay him some more money.
give this guy some credit, the one thing he does really well is clear his hips, not an easy move for most amatuers. This could lead to the dreaded pull hook though and if his hips release to early he'll just end up flipping at impact again but other than that very impressive.
To you golf nuts out there, you can practise a hundred years, you will get no where near the way Fred swings the golf club.His big shoulder turn, quiet lower body, strong leg drive etc just make his swing one of a kind....so smooth,powerful but above all, he makes it look so damned easy and effortless.
I'm addicted to golf and youtube...but this is one of the worst videos I've seen posted, ever. Did you put the microphone in your shorts? You shouldn't even say the word Freddy Couples. Please.
Fred's swing gets steep, but not until he's past the halfway back point. From address to the halfway back point, he's right on plane. However, he then gets way above the plane at the top of the swing. Although I'd rather see somebody be too upright than too flat on the backswing. What makes Freddy's swing is his amazing flexibility. If you want to get in his great positions, you need to have his flexibility.
Freddy's swing looks amazingly smooth, but I don't think it is a good idea to imitate him. He is quite steep in the backswing, 2 plane, has a flying elbow.. it obviously works for him, but probably it is not repeatable enough for the average joe. My tip: Control the downswing with the left side and keep the right hand relaxed until impact. During ball contact the right hand and especially the index finger takes over and you get the smooth follow through.
Hey dude , look i appreciate you trying to improve your swing, but to try and imitate freddie is near impossible, believe me i"ve tried, keep on working to find your own style.
A strong grip don't mean he holds it tight. It means that his right hand overlaps further round on the club. A weak grip the hands are more neutral and hardly overlap on the grip.
hey mate you would have more success if you had a swing that suited you, as you are not as flexible as freddy. Even Freddy has a bad back what chance do you have.

embrace your own swing and your body won't fight every shot.

One thing you've over-looked is your head movement. Fred's barely moves, while your's is on a universal joint. Good luck.

though your swing doesn't look like freddy's, you have a wonderful swing, great motion, keep working on it, you can still improve your followthrough

You don't look very loose and relaxed. Fred Couples barely holds on to the golf club.

I guarantee you that Fred Couples did not learn the golf swing by breaking it down like you do.

Freddie's the man! ...and nobody can deny he has the smoothest golf swing...great person to model after, as I do the same.

Horrible audio! Silly idea to have an old man model Freddie swing. Freddie has says that he can barely play 4 times a year. Good luck!
