Anthony Kim comes up with a win at this week’s AT&T National as predicted hours before.
Anthony Kim now is 5th on the FedEx Cup rankings and also move up a lot on World Rankings.
5 birdies, 13 pars for a 5-under 66, very good stuff.
Congrats to another win Anthony and keep up your good work.
I’d definitely would like to see AT&T National to move back to Pebble Beach though.

Tiger Woods Swing Plane Secret Revealed Part II
0 Comments Published July 5th, 2008 in A+Featured Swing Tips, Swing Secrets, Swing Tips, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods Swing, swing analysis.
Remember I revealed the secret of Tiger Woods swing plane secret little bit ago?
Well, here’s another photoshopped image of Tiger Woods’ backswing plane.
If you can imagine the plane formed by the red-circles I drew, you will quickly notice that Tiger is actually on an “inside-out” plane.
What can you learn from this?
Try swinging the club more inside to out. Backswing is always better suited for slightly inside-out planes than the other way around.

Anthony Kim Driver Swing Analysis
0 Comments Published July 5th, 2008 in A+Featured Swing Analysis, Anthony Kim, Driver, Swing Tips, swing analysis.
Okay, today, we will do a “real” swing analysis of Anthony Kim’s swing. (unlike my older post on Anthony Kim’s swing video only)
Now, this young man gas a great swing and might start taking over PGA Tour with multiple wins.

At takeaway, Anthony is a little too much inside. (This is what the “traditional” golf teachers teach you. But don’t be fooled, the follow-through will prove that Anothony “came back” to the right plane to hit the ball, which almost every pro tour golfer does)

At half-way, Anthony is still way too inside but that’s okay as it will get from here on.

At top os his swing, you can see how well his hands, and clubface are in-plane. (The four diagonal lines represent the true plane of the golf swing)

At downswing, Anthony is slightly inside the plane, which is perfectly acceptable.

At impact, notice how his left arms is straight and right arms slightly bent like at address.

Now what impresses me about Anthony Kim’s swing is not his takeaway or backswing but right after impact.
As you can see, his clubface is almost dead-on or slightly outside the plane. This movement is actually the best move. (Players like Ben Hogan and Tiger Woods do this)

After impact, it gets even better as Anthony’s club stays on-plane.

At finish, check out how controlled his right foot is, it’s barely coming up.
What can you learn from Anthony Kim’s swing?
There are many ways to swing the club. Try to focus on getting that club on-plane at the top of your swing and after impact.
Even most tour pros have completely different opinions on how to swing on-plane but their after impact positions will be the same.

Tom Pernice Jr. Driver Swing Analysis
0 Comments Published July 5th, 2008 in Swing Tips, Tom Pernice Jr., swing analysis.
Here’s a swing analysis of Tom Pernice Jr., who is currently leading the AT&T National tournament at 10 under par.

At takeaway, Tom is in good position. (he’s slightly inside the plane but that’s okay as many tour pros use this position)

At half-way, Tom is slightly inside the plane, which is perfectly fine.

At the top of his swing, Tom is perfectly on-plane.

On the downswing, Tom is slightly inside the plane, meaning he will he from the inside out.

At impact, Tom looks pretty good although his arms could be streched a little more.

After impact, Tom is slightly inside the plane. Usually, most tour players are outside the plane at this point but Tom’s club is slightly inside because he sorta swings more “around” himself. This is not a super bad thing but it can cause some really bad duck hooks at tiimes.

Finish is textbook for Tom as his body stands very tall and high.
