Sergio Garcia in Slow Motion and Black and White

Almost every top golfer I see that this feature.

It’s called the “triangle extension”, well that’s what I call it.

If you tape yourself and you can’t do this, it probably means you are not 100% efficient with your golf swing.

Even me, with 19 years of golf experience including junior golf, amateur golf, pro golf, and couple trophies here and there, can’t do this.

Golf is hard but the secret is here.

However you backswing, the result must look like this. A triangle with a full followthrough. It simply means that you didn’t manipulate your swing and you are putting 100% of your body power into the ball.

The great golfer in history of golf did this, Ben Hogan. He did it better than anyone, even Tiger.

Tiger was taught to copy Ben Hogan.

Now, how to do this?

Go grab a 10 pound piece of piping and swing it very slowly until you can feel your arms coming out of your arm sockets.

See if you can repeat that with a regular swing with a regular club.

Do this as often as you can until you can do it under pressure.

That’s my tip for today.

Swing Analysis of Jim Furyk - A Perfect Swing

Here’s Jim Furyk’s perfect golf swing.

Why do I say it’s “perfect”?

If you look at Jim Furyk’s swing very carefully, you can note the following things:

1. Jim’s swing at the top of the backswing looks very unorthodox but it is very very similar to how Jack Nicklaus swung during his prime. Jack Nicklaus always advised golfers to swing in a very upright fashion, and he did say that this is great for hitting the ball high with long irons.

Mind you, Jack Nicklaus was the greatest “fade” long iron player in the history of golf and he did hit them very very high.

Now, this “upright” backswing can be seen in players like Jim Furyk, Jack Nicklaus, and John Daly from what I can remember.

This “upright” backswing can work for you or it may not. Depending on how rest of your swing is like and what your physique is like, this maybe be a good factor in your perfect swing.

2. At follow through, both of Jim’s arms are straight out, completely extended, a trait that almost all great players in the world carry including Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, etc…etc…

Now, it may look to the naked eye that Jim Furyk’s swing may look unorthodox as some say. But remember in golf, there is no such thing as “orthodox”. All golf swing concepts are made by people and not even single one can be named perfect.

Even Ben Hogan or Jack Nicklaus once said, “I hit maybe couple perfect shots in a period of year”.

The important thing to realize is that everyone has their own “perfect” swing whether others think that looks unorthodox or not.

It’s very important for you to find your own swing, a swing that can work for you whether you are playing a round for fun or you are playing for $100 per hole skins.

In this case, Jim does have a “perfect” swing which I have admired over the years and amazed at how low he can go under tournament pressure.

Next time you see a golfer with a bad swing and a bad grip on the course, be aware, he maybe the best golfer you ever played with.
