Anthony Kim DTL Barclay's

[timshin81]

anyone ever try this? was sorta trying with a 6 iron and sorta working. wonder if drill is good w/ a wood

[helenathena]

yea a early wrist cock gets your club on plane in the back swing, like a real one swing plane, and anthony kim is really the only person on tour with a one plane swing, the guy is always on plane

[taumelgolfer]

i tell you tiger would love to be able what anthony is showing right there....for sure!

[MikePedersenGolfTips]

AK is so talented and seems like a good guy. This is a cool video.

[MicrowavedHamster]

Honestly, he's a complete DICK.

[bronx43]

You're basing this on...

[MicrowavedHamster]

I watches him cheer during the ryder cup a couple of years ago (?) when his opponent's ball went into the water.

[iyafool]

ak is not as good as woods, woods putting is amazing

[jdhthec]

no shit he not as good and its more than putting, no one compares to Tiger NO ONE!!!

[FrostJam2k8]

he makes it look so easy

[polygman]

damn that sounds solid

[MauriceFameboy]

A couple of months ago in Golf Magazine there was an article on the "No Backswing Swing" which was performed exactly like what Anthony Kim is doing here.

[pranman]

how pure is that swing, i heard a rumor that Tiger was walking of the range of a PGA event and stop to watch AK hit golf balls and he said he has the best swing he has ever seen

[ek8484]

A great golf swing by itself isn't enough.

Could Anthony drain that put on 18 of the US Open to force a playoff?

This is "media" stuff. Remember Sergio? They were saying the same shit about him.

Look...Tiger is on a different level - period.

Anthony is a great player in the making, but he's NO Tiger. He'll never win as many majors, he'll never win as many tournaments.

Tiger is thanking the heavens for another worthy challenger.

[nirvanafly]

I agree with you on the whole media hype thing, ek8484. I hate when commentators say someone will be the next big thing, just because they're young and win or almost win one tournament.

[nirvanafly]

Then, everyone believes the hype and expects too much from the young athelte (Michelle Wie!!!!!! for example) and writes the person off when they don't win or finish in the top ten, without taking into consideration the difficulty of both, but I don't see why you have to point out Tiger is "on a different level" and Anthony will never win as many majors or tournaments. I mean pranman never implied Anthony would be as great as Tiger, merely Tiger was impressed by Anthony's swing.

[sportsman214]

very true, but both kim and wie were very cocky about their potential, wie wanting to play in mens tournaments because she felt she was too good for womens, when, she didnt win much on the lpga. Kim was also real cocky about his abilities. Both are great players, but no where near as Tigers level as you mentioned.

[missingsolution]

ek sergio's never won two events on the pga tour in one year, let alone his 2nd season. ps. sergio can't putt like anthony, nor my little sister. just an fyi. i do like sergio tho haa

[trxtan1]

and a lot of it may be he's trying to fix the plane of his backswing.

[schun2008]

does anyone know why he does that?

[moo690]

I believe it's similar to the early wrist drill that I do. It makes the swing more compact and by doing that I get the club a bit more infront and turn my shoulders rather than just flinging my arms back getting the club wrapped around the body. I've heard that David Leadbetter is a big support of this move.(early wrist cock in the swing) I hope this helps

[Justdoit000]

Do you think early wrist cock in the back swing will decrease my yards of clubs.?

[moo690]

no. I think it would just make your swing more consistent.

[kaderad]

and u would actually probably hit it further

[wang1433]

I think it will... but that's assuming you already have a great swing. Sudden change in wrist angle on the downswing leads to the "lag" that generate power. But for most of us early wrist cock makes solid contact easier, and thus greater distance.

[CAsHizZ]

lag dosen't create distance at all don't let people lie to you it just makes the ball go evreywhere you need to come shallow into the ball to hit it long becuase that way you don't get a glancing blow on the golf ball..... I usually lag it becuase thats my main swing fault and when i don't do it I hit it like 40 yards longer I hit 3 iron past my mates 3 wood and we usualy hit it the same length

[wang1433]

I understand the shallow part, but not everything else. I haven't seen any good pro who doesn't lag. How far do you hit your 3 iron anyway? Care to post a vid of your own swing?

[CAsHizZ]

How far do I hit it about 230 about 250-260 that time I would post a video of my swing but the only camera i've got is my phone and the videos are a weird format..... it depends what you mean by lag tiger woods dosen't lag it i mean lag as in add angle at the top of your backswing the key is to keep the angle you have from your turn rather than try to gather angle from the top this way its more consistent.... My average carry with driver when i had it measured was 275
