Scott Stallings Swing Analysis by Dave Phillips, Titleist Performance Institute

[Tourswing]

Good lag-agree well short of neutral joint alignment into lead leg-how he keeps that swing accurate I don't know! Classy athlete.

Best way to eliminate a hook-keep rotating the hips all the way through impact independently of the upper body as Scott does.

Might he have limited internal hip rotation of his left? Or poor left glute stability?

Could explain why he doesn't like to/can't keep his left foot on the ground.

[Tourswing]

@drddh1 Poor glute stability-in a way-only because there's virtually no load through the left glute so it never activates!The reason that foot comes up is he has so much lag that if he didnt keep the weight on the back foot (and move back away from the target on) he would never square up the club in time.The left foot coming up is simply the fact there is very little weight on it at impact (most of weight on right foot).He's essentially reverse pivoting to be able to avoid a massive block/slice.

@drddh1

He creates so much lag on the downswing, and releases the club so late...that he has to create room for the club to actually release without hitting the ground. He does it by coming up onto the toes of his right foot (many LPGA players do this).

The problem is that he doesn't shift his weight onto the left foot well, so as he comes up on his right toes to allow the club to release, his foundation becomes unstable. So the left foot gives way.

margin of error is so small for that type of swing surely?

[Tourswing]

@cairbnamara Yep! Great athlete to be able to hold that together for 4 rounds.
