Thanks for posting, but Man stop rapidly forwarding and rewinding the video!! If you're going to do that, do it slowly so people can see what you're on about.

@dolfinack You're allowed to watch more than once. I try now (this video is almost a year old) to play the swings at full speed a couple of times before going through them in detail. The movement back and forth is usually to show the sequence of a subtle movement that is hard to pick up in slow motion, which is why I do it relatively fast sometimes. The movements are fairly complex and need to be watched over a few times to get the gist.

Graeme's transition from the top of the swing seems to be very very fast when

compared to other tour players. I (think) I made the mistake of showing & discussing Graeme's transition with my 8 year old son. It felt very good for my son at the practice range to transition very fast ... but when he played his round, his timing deteriorated over the course of the round & the ball striking was worse.

anyone have any comments? I would appreciate the advise.

you won't see his name anymore in a couple years, because he'll suffer from a bad back due to the way he dips underneath himself

[hortont3]

What I really notice is that he has that Classic Dip that the old greats and some of the new all do also. It is just like you have pointed out in other videos; The dip is actually an incorporated move either by design or otherwise- it is there.

id imagine he is prone to hitting the odd big hook like he did on the driver swing with his shut face and cf release. what moves would he have to incorporate in his swing to prevent hitting alot more big hooks.

Isn't "toe up" and open position, shouldn't the club face being open or closed be measured relative to the arc of the circle?

Wayne, you need to be the swing analysis guy for CBS or NBC. I laugh now when I watch a tournament on TV . Most of the time it is obvious that what they are saying is BS. It really is baffling how they can say the things they do. Keep the videos coming. Really enjoy them.

Wayne i dont get the hips in the box, how is exactly is that good and a hallmark spot of good players?

[ReillyVids]

Enjoy your videos. Do you think the toe of the club is closed at the halfway point on the upswing because he's gripping the club for a draw ala Nicklaus?
