 I was watching the lovely Di Stewart on Golf Night the other night and she mentioned something about a swing analysis of all the European players by Butch Harmon on the Sky Sports website. I've just checked it out and think it's pretty damn good... What do you think? Europe United

 Pretty damn good? I'ts better than that! Thanks Monkeytaff.

Sooner analyse Di Stewart

I liked it. Harmon seems to like the players that cock their wrists early. Is this the current doctrine for the golf swing? I seem to think his player Mickelson is not a fan of the early wrist cock. The way he analyses the Euro players' swings make them sound so simple. Wish i could copy them.

 That's a really good link - thanks Taff. These guys are so flexible and strong and do this for a living, day in and day out and have been doing so since they were kids. No surprise Tom that we can only TRY to emulate them. We can dream though

How do you know I'm not so strong and supple? 
|
|
That was really interesting - Cheers Monkeytaff! Those swings look just like mine!
|
|
I think they need to over-swing a bit more on the way back... Just like me!
|
|
Yeah. Where's the ugly chicken wings follow through and the horrendous slices that we see every day?
|
|
TW, you say where's the chicken wings, take a look at Lee Westwood. Both of his elbows at impact are stuck out. Butch mentions it in the commentary. And to think that my pro is trying to stop me doing that!  Great link Taffy.

You're right BB. I noticed that on the still image of LW which you click on to see the full swing, but didn't realise both elbows were bent at impact. Weird. While all the swings must work, there's a quite a range of techniques. I never realised Jiminez is so flat. Noted that the smallest of them is still 5ft10. Is golf going the way of other sports and favouring big guys. It used to be that lanky fellas like Karlson and Chris Wood were considered too tall to be decent golfers. I like the way Casey gives it a good old biff.
