- Check out the slow motion swing of Vijay Singh. Over the years, he has proved to work long hours on his golf swing. With smart and affective practice, you too can reach your goals. Start by setting some goals for yourself. If you are a high handicap, try to become a mid handicap golfer. If you are mid handicap golfer, work towards shooting lower scores. Remember that your improving your short game will lower your scores quicker. If you haven't had a swing coach, consult your local PGA Teaching Professional for more advice.

V.J. Singh has always had one of the best swings I've ever seen.
I watched him at Baltustrol in 05’ … He was a gentleman, and appreciative of the gallery. He’s intense and stoical and a great champion.
I golfed with Mr. Singh twice! It was an honor to play at Copper down in Clearwater Florida with VJ. Really, one of the nicest people I've known in a short time. No doubt it was only 36 holes but from what I witnessed he was always smiling and laughing. I would easy consider him a potential great friend. I was surprised to say the least to find that he is totally different from how the media portrays his personality. Now I am know beyond a shadow of a doubt that someone or some organization may be the sports media has eviscerated him. I would not like to say that about the media but I have no choice. I do respect ESPN and all other media as I am a pro golfer. However, I hope that we can all get along and have no resentments between the relationship of the media and the all players.
I don’t know him personally so this is all second hand.
I had the chance to play golf (twice) with a former Masters champion and stay at their home. It was an incredible experience. We were having dinner (that he cooked by the way) and asked who the biggest jerk was on tour and he said he’s encountered probably over 2000 tour pros in his career and he said the worst was Singh - and it wasn’t close.
Another acquaintance played with Singh in a pro-am at a tour event one year. He was so rude and disrespectful to the amateurs that they demanded their money back from the tournament director. The experience was that bad.
Again, I don’t know him and these are just stories I’ve heard. But the anecdotal evidence isn’t great.
I remember watching him practicing at the Dunhill Links Champs. Back 9 of the Old Course, on a wet/cold/windy mid-week afternoon, totally exposed to the elements and away from the town. Therefore, no gallery aside from 5 or 6 of us who were getting to see one of the greats up close for two hours! He kept approaching us to laugh & joke that 'you guys are crazy - go home, this is miserable!', not realizing that we were having a great time - watching how he hits and how he controls the golf ball, even on a difficult day. To him, that was just probably a bad day at the office, but for me -- it always stuck with me. I have heard lots of story to echo the comment below (or above), it is difficult to argue against that evidence. But he has always been one of my favourites and will continue to be
I know a guy who caddied for him once, and he had nothing but good things to say about him....
I like the way he holds his spine angle right through to the finish. This ensures he never comes up at the bottom of the swing, preventing the dreaded pushed fade. Brooke Henderson does the same.
That finish is money. His right hand practically comes off the club after impact. Looks like a two-plane swing (his left arm is above his right shoulder at the end of his backswing) I guess he has to do some lowering on the downswing to get the club on plane. Amazing how close his arms are to his body as he comes into impact, almost like Jim Furyk. They say that tall guys have to stand closer to the ball.
Man, that’s a lot of torque.
Nice swing.
I think one reason he practices so much because he enjoys it. No disrespect to Tiger or any other pro, but Vijay stores and uses his energy so well (without cutting into his own body) he can go all day without breaking down. Maybe John Daly is better at storing and releasing energy but his backswing length may sometimes throw his timing off.
Ken Lines While enjoyment is likely part of it, I think it has more to do with the fact that his slightly unorthodox release pattern requires a very high degree of clubhead rotation in order to square the clubface properly. This means that he requires more timing to hit a shot accurately than players who maintain a stable clubface longer. Notice how his arms drop down sort of behind him in his downswing and as a result of that he needs to use his hands actively to get the clubface square. Also take note of how his right hand comes almost entirely off the grip after impact as the clubface closes rapidly and passes his hands, this is very similar to what Phil Mickelson does and both he and Vijay are obviously two of the greatest golfers of all time. I'm not trying to criticize Vijay's swing even if it sounds that way, in fact if anything I think it speaks to his sheer talent and athleticism that he's able to play such great golf in spite of his rapid roll release drastically increasing his margin of error on any given shot compared to players with more stable releases
jack nicklaus said that vijay had the best swing in the game back in 2004
That release tho
Have you the same apinon about Annaikin playing the pga tour
Vijay"s right hand comes almost off the club after impact , similar to Fred Couples. I have heard Peter Kostis say that was due to Vijay releasing the club so hard with his right hand. Which of course is not true, If he were a 'hitter" the worst thing he could do is to let the hand that is pushing the club come off the club. That would be instant deceleration of the clubhead. Try pushing a shopping cart with one hand then let that hand come off the cart, Instant deceleration of the cart. Vijay is a left side dominant swinger. He pulls the shaft with his left side and puts his right hand on the club very loosely, This has a twofold effect. First it prevents the right hand from taking over the swing and secondly the loose right hand grip allows the club to be freely released ie: the left wrist freely uncocks and rolls. For those who say that there is no way one can hit the ball so far simply by pulling with your left side I quote John Daly from a recent Golf Channel series on his swing " I pull the club with my left side , the right hand does nothing, It is just there for guidance", That "guidance" is very helpful in many ways and should not be simply dismissed as not necessary because last I checked there has never been a one armed long drive champion. but the main point is that in the swings of Daly.Singh and Couple , there is no conscious effort to add power to the swing with the right hand/arm. Daly's right hand does not come off the club BTW.
Totally agree... VJ is pure left side, and letting the left side lead and left arm pulling it has helped me immensely! Finally hitting my driver long and straight vs my overly right sided action that led to pulls, snap hooks, steep, and OTT
It also helps to avoid flipping at impact i guess which works well for me.
100%...I'll bet be doesnt have any right side feel on his downswing...as soon as he reaches the top he goes full left side...his right hand probably comes off just cause he barely uses it other stabilizing the shaft
Explain Hogan's right hand then
Vijay Singh easily has the most Hogan-esque swing I've ever seen, besides Hogan of course. I love the way he keeps his left elbow pointed at the ground during the finish yet still has a full-follow through. That's agility if I've ever seen it, a swing nothing short of kinesthetic beauty.
Matthew Phillips Dude, how is his swing even remotely close to Hogan's..? Singh has super high hands at the top of his backswing and basically lets them fall down in his downswing and get behind his body which results in an unorthodox release very similar to Phil Mickelson's in that they both release so hard with their right hand that it comes off the grip after impact. Very flippy for such a successful tour player. Hogan on the other hand had very low hands at the top of his backswing with the club shaft barely above his right shoulder. From there he would flatten his plane in the downswing and get a bit underneath in order to supinate his left wrist early and stabilize his release. Singh and Hogan have/had pretty much the two most complete opposite swings that I can think of. I'm just really curious as to where specifically you're seeing similarities because as far as I know, the only thing Hogan and Singh have in common (aside from both being great golfers) is that they are/were both known for practicing more than anybody else
I think any differences they have in plane have more to do with their height. Singh is taller than average and Hogan shorter. The unorthodox release right after impact where their arms look fully outreached before a gentle collapse behind their head is where I see the most similarity, especially with the driver. They almost look like they're wielding a sledge hammer with a forceful momentum pulling them through to finish. It's a fluid, natural look that few other players have.
In that respect, Singh and Hogan are more similar to each other than either is to Mickelson, though all 3 men have this move in their follow through, I think Singh and Hogan's look better. You're right in that their back swings are different, but past impact they are similar. Never mind Singh's right hand coming off the club, they still have similar follow throughs. Any difference in their back swing again is height related. I personally see similarities in each man's swing, but the similarities in their follow throughs are undeniable. Singh's right hand at impact isn't noticeable in real time. You need slowed down video.
+Matthew Phillips you literally haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about. I'd suggest learning a thing or two about golf swing theory/mechanics instead of making statements rooted in fundamentally flawed empirical observations
Matthew Phillips nothing about this swing is like hogan are your eyes painted on?
MPD- Couldn't agree w: you more!!! These other comments have no clue! Read H. Kellys's, "Golf Machine" and Vijay and Hogan have the same swing/ just differ heights... remember!! He's 6'5"!!! Of course his swing is going to look different than Hogans!!
Never realized his face was a bit closed at the top.
Looks like he'd struggle to draw the ball, push draws might be difficult with that swing
A lot a different golf swings! Find the one that fits you…
