Adam Baddeley Swing Analysis
1 Comment Published May 23rd, 2008 in Adam Baddeley, Golf Swing Plane, Golf Video, Swing Tips, swing analysis.
Adam Baddeley has one of the simplest swings in golf.
As you can see Adam at address, he’s perfectly balanced, ready to go. I set up the big red line from the clubhead through middle of his shoulder sockets. (That is important as I will explain later…)
Adam’s new swing is actually a little flatter than most other tour pros but it’s perfectly acceptable position here. He “rotates” more laterally than the other players, which is part of his swing technique.
At the top of his swing, again, Adam is very flat compared to most other tour pros but he does remind me of Ben Hogan, who swung even flatter than Adam.
The important thing to note is how “well balanced’ he is, he looks like he’s almost just standing tall without the club in his hand. (for the lower body)
At downswing, Adam is perfectly ready to launch the ball with his swing plane slight flatter than the red line from the ball through his shoulder sockets. This means he’s coming into the slightly inside-out, meaning he will hit a nice powerful draw.
At impact, again, Adam is in perfect balance. If you watch his spine and lower body only, you can tell how well balanced he is, almost standing normal.
That is the key, you always want to feel like you are simply standing up tall throughout the swing. It lets your body balance itself automatically.
Now, here’s the secret. Notice that red line from the ball through the shoulder sockets? Well his clubs right on it after impact. This ball probably was hit almost perfectly.

As you can see, the follow-through shown here is not too on-plane, but not too bad. (for playing golf for the first time in couple months…)
Anyways, the ideal follow-through is the one that will meet that yellow line. (or the plane)
This swing is actually going slightly outside-in, which was how I was hitting the ball today.
Anyways, hopefully I should be able to get my golf game together over the next couple days and get you a perfect plane shot…
In the meanwhile, you can try to “hit the right field” if you are experiencing lots of slices. For hookers? I don’t know, just stop being a hooker! :p

Here’s an example of going outside my plane. As discussed in the previous post about Tiger’s plane, it seems here that I am on my way to hitting the ball with a 50 yard slice here. This is what NOT to do…
