My dad and I got paired up one day with a couple guys from out of town on the course and one of them said my swing looks like a mix of Tommy, John Rahm and kyle Berkshire, but the fact Tommy was one of those names made me very happy, he’s got my favourite swing in golf by far, it’s so violent I love it!
Two things: 1) His wrist action is used as the model wrist action in the Hackmotion sensor. 2) He exhibits the 4:30 line as taught by John Erickson at Advanced Ball Striking.
You don’t need all that, just some knowledge, a mirror & some practice. A camera can help too. The first time I had a lesson was when I was already playing collegiate golf on a golf scholarship as a +6 with 2 course records. My family didn’t have money at all either and this was before camera phones like today, just a mirror, old clubs, dedication & passion. Also lessons don’t magically make you a better player, putting the work in makes you a better player. A coach just gives you things to work on, you still have to do the many hours of solo work.You’re going to get out what you put in. Practice with purpose, study the new laws of ball flight, how they relate to swing dynamics, biomechanics of the golf swing, course management, club building/ equipment cause & effects, etc. knowledge is the key to the game along with passion, practice & self belief. Don’t believe anyone who says you need to spend a bunch of money on lessons or anything like that to be good, you need knowledge & dedication. 🍻
@@JeremiahAlphonsus I love Freddie but I kind of agree. From his cupped wrist backswing that needs heavy flexion added mid downswing(very awkward for most), his outside the ball takeaway, to his bad knee & back from not releasing his lead side torque, etc etc. there’s a ton of swing flaws in his swing. Beautiful tempo and he’s a great player but definitely not a swing anyone should emulate. Maybe just the tempo part & the way he casually droops the club into the slot. I’ve always noticed it’s generally people who don’t know diddly squat about the golf swing who think Fred couples has one of the best swings when the reality is, it’s chocked full of flaws. That being said I love how he swings his swing & is just a fluidity master.
@@JeremiahAlphonsus Hogan had his faults as well, he was too narrow, similarly cupped wrist amongst a few other things depending on the era. The biggest issue not only with Hogan but many players in his day was he/they had the laws of ball flight essentially backwards thinking path was what dictated the balls start line & the face controlling curve. Once launch monitors were invented in the early 2000’s we (golfers) learned the truth. That confusion in “the laws of ball flight” was why he struggled so much with a left miss(hook). The reality is some of us are naturally athletic & have a great set of hands, those of us can make any swing work. A slow tempo is what the general spectator looks for in a swing but in reality plays a tiny roll in the grand scheme of things.
very athletic... not sure the lot of us can bend that way at that swing speed... i dont choke down and i get 155 BS.... just crazy what these guys can do...
It takes a lot less flexibility than many people believe to make a nice swing. In fact what I’ve found was most average Joe players are moving considerably more & require more flexibility to swing the way they do compared to a more text book swing. Usually it’s because they’re compensating for a flaw and very disconnected. For example so many ams have way more arm/hand/wrist action because they’re simply not turning their body’s correctly/enough so the added arms are a compensation to get the club closer to parallel. I’ve yet to meet a player of any age that can’t physically get into a decent position & get a full turn to the top (p4) but old habits die hard. There’s not a ton of flexibility needed to make a propped swing, if a player struggles in 1 aspect of the swing it’s most likely due to an unseen root cause. The swing should feel easy & natural with basically no wear on the body when done correctly. Injuries often occur from not swinging correctly. Knowledge is power, especially in this game. Fully understanding the new laws of ball flight, how they relate to swing dynamics & the basic biomechanics of the swing is unbelievably helpful & important yet many players I meat who have been playing for years done have a clue. Add in some good course management & the game isn’t as difficult as people think.
Excellent video on one of the most technically sound swings on tour but listening to Mark Immelmann would make you sick, Tommy maybe 5’ 9” in his golf shoes but 5’ 11” not even when it rains !
Bottom line on golf is that if the club face and club path at impact are all that matters. It's just physics. The main thing about this guy or anyone else is they swing the same way every time unless they are trying a specialty shot. Are you going to hit a slight fade or a slight draw? Do one or the other in particular with the longer clubs. On irons how much grass is going be mashed between the ball and the club face. That's going to take some or all of the spin off the ball. Think about what that's going to do. And know how far you "really" hit the ball. I'll bet 90% of the time you're short since you "think" you hit your 7 iron 170 yards when you maybe did that once. And be ready to play, and don't take 14 practice swings.
And focus on your grip and swing waist high to waist high until you have consistent flush contact every time. This commentator talks about the focus on the right elbow? That's funny. One thing at a time, focus on the grip and go from there.
One of my fav swings ever

I love the way Tommy hits his irons, especially the mid to short irons. Very compact and so much under control.
Have literally been waiting for this
Is there a way that you could've been figuratively waiting for this?
This is the swing we aspire to have!
You probably won't ever get there unless you have unlimited money, time, and coaches. But your own swing is good enough. Keep at it.

What a finish.....
Yes! How did this take so long? Favorite swing.
Underrated swing
Not underrated. Overrated. He hasn't even won an event on the PGA Tour.
Please Making a rory’s 2024 swing
When are we getting a Fred couples one ?
There’s definitely already a BoomBoom episode.
Not needed. He's overrated.

@@TheWedgeWizard Right on all counts. Ben Hogan, the true GOAT, was superior in every way, even aesthetically.

Man why hasnt he won a major honestly
As a brit it's his putting unfortunately 😢 up there with everything other than that 😕 ❤
Best swing
Great swing. Quite a strange analysis video.
not sure I could listen to this guy much longer.. id rather listen to Gary McCord explain it..
No chance Tommy’s 5’11
Absolutely no way maybe 5’ 9” in his golf shoes if he is lucky !
One of the most anticipated Swing Theory videos ruined by Mark Immelmann’s boring pseudo analysis. Shame really.
Boom boom do boom Boom!!
very athletic... not sure the lot of us can bend that way at that swing speed... i dont choke down and i get 155 BS.... just crazy what these guys can do...

Late release with open hips.
That is a right cross if anything. Not an uppercut.

Adam Scott #1 swing...
Tommy Fleetwood #1 pure darts....

phenominal .......
he is too short
Ben Hogan was 5'8" hitting bombs with persimmon woods and balata balls.
@@JeremiahAlphonsus Sam Snead was 5'11" was hitting bigger bombs....how tall are you?
@@rekababa6671 I'm 6'10." I hit bombs. But Ben Hogan, the true GOAT, hit bigger bombs. With today's equipment he'd average 340.
Not all about distance fortunately luke Donald w number 1 and plenty of others ❤
Remember when Tommy won on the PGA Tour? Yeah me either...
You Probly never won anything
You ever win 10 times in europe win 2 ryders? Nah doubt it 😂
