I like it more than his old one.

Nope, it’s this guy from a few years ago:

The “strong grip, lay it down, bend over, and keep turning” teachers would destroy this guy.

Those guys can pound sand. Wide, smooth, repeatable gang for life.

How many back issues has Jason Day had in the past decade??

Is this the same swing he had a decade ago, and if not, why did he switch to this move over the old one? 😛

You think this is the swing that caused back issues?

No, the video didn't embed to the post.

You realize he switched to Como a little over a year ago to improve the swing and avoid further back issues and his new swing is doing just that

The golf swing is more efficient when you and the club are in sync.

He just let his right hip turn more on the backswing to protect his back and limited his hand depth a touch at the top to promote a fade. Very subtle changes.

[johnrobison]

For our education, exactly how is that in sync and exactly what makes that more efficient?

[MonteScheinblum]

More backswing hip turn and earlier right elbow unload to flatten the shaft.  I guess AMG was right. 😜

This reminds me of a discussion a few years back.  I said the lead arm needs to start releasing off the chest no later than P5.  Someone posted a video of Jason Dufner saying he tries to set his arm across his chest and just turn.  I had seen his 3D recently before that and he unloads it pretty early.  Rose has trouble keeping it pinned.  That’s why different players need different, sometimes opposite feels to get the same result.  As long as the feel creates proper movement, it’s a good feel.  Random feels that work one day….no good.  Feels that are a means to an end are not bad, even if they are putrid sounding.

I can die now a contented man. Monte comments on a post I made. Mr. Sheinblum, sir, your videos on the short game years ago helped this old man a great deal. Thank you sir! 

 

"As long as the feel creates proper movement, it’s a good feel." 

 

My swing is "short", but I have good shoulder turn, so my feel of "short" creates enough proper movement for me, which is about as deep an analysis I can get for an 8 handicap 74-year old duffer.

That makes more sense lol

[phizzy30]

Perfect swing is a relatively subjective term IMO.  However, I think that Sean O'Hair has the prettiest swing on tour followed by Adam Scott.

There's a bit more to it than that, including the right arm extension/lowering/whatever-you-wanna-call-it that he does on the downswing to limit the need to right-side-bend.

Don't hold your breath for a response, non-sequitur quip and run is the MO.

I'm pretty busy and don't have time to sit around and post all day long. To answer your question in his old swing  he's swinging the cub more linearly. He's turning and the club is swinging wide and away from him. 

 

 

The video did a good job of explaining Jason's more rounded swing. In the new swing the club is more on a circular dynamic plane. The club works with him instead of against him. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[GolfTurkey]

I would like to see anyone who can break 100 not have the shaft and shoulder plane parallel at some point in their swing, just waiting for random lines to be drawn.

Look at how well Snead and Norman use the ground, while Nelson doesn't use the ground at all.

I noticed that too - very subtle indeed but I could see how that could protect the back a bit more.

That's not what they meant.

His old swing was way way way better. Granted he hurt himself, he hasn't figured out how to achieve the same output this new way.

[Zitlow]

You can hit the ball harder with less effort working with the club instead of working against the club.

I guess we can add “effort“ to the list of words for which you have a very strange definition.

 

I guarantee you long drivers are putting tremendous effort into hitting the ball far.
