Matt Kuchar Swing Analysis
Published June 1st, 2008 in Swing Tips, matt kuchar, swing analysis.
Here’s a swing analysis of Matt Kuchar, winner of the 1997 US Amateur.
At address, Matt has a good setup, pretty much like everyone else on the tour.
At takeaway, Matt’s right arm breakdown quickly, and also his club is way too flat. He might be one of the “flattest” swingers on tour today.
At the top, you can clearly see how flat Matt’s swing is. This is even flatter or as flat as Ben Hogan’s swing.
Being flat can become a big problem for a golfer with a height of 6″ 4″. Most taller golfers (like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods) opt for a higher swing plane.
Swinging this flat can cause shots blocked way to the right or pull-hooks during intense heat of golf.
At impact, Matt is really “re-routing” his club to just get back to the ball.
Junger Woods Verdict
Matt needs to get a little more “upright” with his backswing, otherwise, he won’t win as many tournaments as he could and must keep relying on his deadly short game.
Matt Kuchar has only won 1 PGA Tour event since he turned pro, he should have won at least 3 or 4 by now.
His takeaway breaks down, swing is too flat, and this might be okay for him to stay on the tour but if he wants to keep winning, he needs a major swing overhaul and get on-plane like Tiger here.
