Fred Couples Golf Swing Video

admin — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 11:40:01 +0000

In my opinion, Fred Couples has one of the nicest swings I have ever seen. It appears he has all of his weight on his toes, however he maintains perfect balance. There is almost a delay in his swing, with the late “whack” coming through, yet making it look so elegant. Take a look for yourself below:

And a Chip Shot - so slow and controlled (note: the footage is a little scratchy)

Nicholas “Nick” Alexander Faldo MBE (born 18 July 1957) is an English professional golfer on the European Tour, and is one of Europe’s most successful players ever. Over his career, he has won six majors: three Open Championships and three U.S. Masters. He was ranked the World No. 1 on the Official World Golf Rankings for a total of 98 weeks. In 2006, Faldo became the lead golf analyst for CBS Sports. [source: Wikipedia]

Below is a swing video of Nick Faldo, taking us through his golf swing and explaining the mechanics of how to swing a golf club like the great man himself. With over 40,000 views on YouTube (at time of writing), it must be good!

For you golf swing analysis buffs - here is a swing vision video of Nick Faldo

Ahead of his debut at the Masters, here at Golfd.com we thought it would be great timing to take a look at Rory McIlroy’s Golf Swing. This (nearly 20 year old) young golfer from Northern Ireland, has burst onto the scene with commentators already screaming a “Tiger Contender”.

His swing is very smooth, with a full finish - here watch for yourself

Ernie Els vs Michelle Wie Golf Swing Video

admin — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 07:51:48 +0000

I found this cool video on YouTube that sync’s up Ernie Els Golf Swing with Michelle Wie. It is really amazing how similiar these 2 swings are

Both very powerful swings, Michelle Wie gets behind the ball more and is more over her right leg than Ernie. At the top of the swing, Michelle is more parallel but Ernie isn’t too short from parallel.

It would be very interesting to see a swing video of Ernie Els of more recent times, as I know he has been in swing coaching with Butch Harmon. I wonder whether much has changed with the engagement of Butch, or whether is has stayed similiar.

Apart from their slight physical differences (Adam being slightly taller and Tiger having bigger arms), the swing is almost identical, with good turn through the body, and both players getting up onto their right toe.
