Zack Johnson

[BenJogan]

Zach can't release his hands because his club face is closed at the top. If he released the club, he'd hit a hook/pull very easily.

Moe Norman and Hogan had a flat swing, but their clubs were square in the backswing (Hogan sometimes a bit open). Zach is able to control the club, Moe and Hogan didn't. THEY DIDN'T FIGHT THE GOLF CLUB. Don't make comparisions with them.

@BenJogan Release? You're talking about the old "roll your right hand over your left" release, right? Terrible advice for anyone. There shouldn't be a conscious rolling or "release" as you say of the wrists. Zach's clubface is square to the arc.

[BenJogan]

@dsizemore81 In TGM terms he's using an Angled Hinge through impact with to swivel in the backswing (it means that the cluface is always square to the arc as you said). But Hogan added a little swivel in the backswing (the cup in the wrist) with a very weak grip = open clubface at the top. Hogan had such strong hands to control an angled hinge with a weak grip... Mr Johnson's grip is super strong. They both never rolled the clubface through impact, but with very different muscle intentions!

Zach is the best. My personal favorite player.

[MyPaul001]

very good controlled swing cant hit it left, repeats more often than not.

Major material lets hope he wins another as he is good enough. You have to hit it 320 to be king

[MiuraUU]

he have a lot of things that historys best ball strikers had like moe norman and ben hogan, slightly close stance not much wrist action after impact and a nice and high followthrough

[wagz1191]

the swing is perfectly on plane and the only thing that looks wierd is the fact that he holds off his wrists after impact rather than flipping like most do.

[KnowYourTeam]

what a terrible golf swing. will never win a major swinging like that. must be a great putter cause he swings like a monkey.

[machinenamon]

funny, cuz he already won one...

[pattyxcakes13]

shows how much you know... he won the masters

[theusedish]

@KnowYourTeam lol are u serious mr. KnowYourShit?

[pattyxcakes13]

he doesn't release his wrists like most players, thats why he doesn't hit as long as them. not really text book but it works for him and hes one a green jacket

[horacewild]

Funmichi.....how much fuc king better does a dude have to get you moron....can you beat Zach Johnson......NOPE! Swing a bit higher....sounds like you are the one who is higher.

[Funmichi]

swing a little bit higher and soon you will be better!

[brown547]

Looks a lot like Hogan in his prime

[nikscrutton777]

Id take his swing if it ment a green jacket, he has what works for him and when i watched him hitting drivers on the range at carnoustie last year he was by far the best ball striker, oh and maybe sergio 2!

[langanct]

love it or hate it. the swing wins tournaments.

[berntwt]

Very easy to repeat. Everyone says they know someone to act cool on this-I worked for a former tour pro that grew up with Zac, they are still close friends. Zac is a story of just someone who would not give up. Hes a good putter and probably will get another major or two. Read through his story if you ever want to get better, kind of an insperation.

[awhelnaw]

man he really is dead shut at the top

[eliyates2]

its only cuz he has a crazy strong grip... like i have a strong grip but his is crazy! regardless i think this is one of the best swings on tour. hes not long but he is very controlled which i think is what most people should be looking for. as opposed to crushing the ball 300 yards and what not.

[pattyheno]

don't think it's the prettiest swing on the tour but hey he won the Masters! and that's all that counts.

[zaphod2]

my favourite swing on the PGA tour

[daniel3203]

yeh but hes in the top 5 driving accuracy on the pga tour

[Maisman91]

i fuckin hate  his swing

[willkendall101]

hate it... looks shit!!

[joshsmithk07]

no m8 your swing is shite do you win golf tournaments no do you hit the golf ball 300yds plus NO.

hacker twat
