I have heard there is this magical place on the club called the sweet spot. I never seen anyone hit it and neither have I but I hear if you hit it you can gain 25 yards!!!

Power, consistency, rhythm, accuracy, non-injurious, hitting the sweet spot are not opposed to each other but all can be found in the same swing as demonstrated by Hogan, Snead and Nicklaus.

I wonder if Hogans swing would be so revered if he was playing today under the scrutiny of super slow mo, and spin numbets, and ball spped, and smash factor etc etc, insttead of the mystical images on grainy film which he is judged on?

Are you saying Red Grange wasn't a galloping ghost?

Injuries will soon come his way according to the leading bio-mechanics golf guru:

There's a silly statement if I ever saw one.

So, unless someone makes [b][i]MORE[/i][/b] money that any golfer being discussed, one can't talk about [b][i]any[/i][/b] facet of his game?

[b][i]Are you for real?[/i][/b]

No doubt he did, but [b][i]how much has he left on the table [/i][/b]with that horrible swing? And how much more in the future? How much [b][i]BETTER[/i][/b] would he be with a proper swing?

How much is a new back worth when he throws out the one he's got? Or his knee?

The[b] [i]swing[/i][/b] is [b][i]part[/i][/b] of the game of golf. If you can improve one area of your game to get better, why wouldn't you?

What if his[b][i] short game[/i][/b] was bad?

[i]Would you say the same thing?[/i]

How about [b][i]putting?[/i][/b] If his putting was as bad as his swing, [i]would you say the same thing? What if his putter [b]goes?[/b] Remember [b]Tiger Woods?[/b][/i]

Such narrow-minded and illogical thinking in golf, I've never seen this in other sports. He wins, so who cares?

Carry on

it's narrow minded to not want to change something that will have him in the top 5 in OWGR soon? I mean he is currently 6th

this is not a ricky fowler situation as Jordan is exceeding expectations right now

his swing is built completely around consistency with the driver not power, with his iron game and short game he does not need the power while sacrificing accuracy

I'm not going to worry about his short game and putting as he has improved leaps and bounds since joining the tour and is one of the best in the world around the greens

posting your best score does not always involve the highest score on the trackman combine, or getting the best launch conditions with a driver there is more to it

Honest question, what exactly are you referring to regarding his back and left foot? For his back, he has secondary tilt like just about every player on tour. On his foot/ankle he floats the front of his foot releasing the pressure and rotates it to the left. Yes I suppose he could start with his foot flared but doesnt what he does now accomplish the same thing?

 

I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong, but you have to be more specific than just telling us to look at his back and foot as if it's self-evident.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look at his left foot and ankle through impact and the lower back on the follow-through. Just begging for a lower body injury.

 

Great player.

 

The swing has room for improvement. If not to play better, then to avoid injury. So much effort for a 289 yard (2014) driving distance average.

 

At 6'1", to be swinging that hard to drive it an average of 289 yards?

 

115th in driving distance at 6'1"?

 

Doesn't bode well...
