David Duval Swing Analysis!

0 Comments Published August 14th, 2008 in A+Featured Swing Analysis, Golf Video, Slow Motion, Swing Tips, david duval, swing analysis.

If you are new to golf, you’ve probably never heard of David Duval. But for me, he’s the #1 or #2 golfer of all-time in the 90s.

For whatever reason that David Duval has not been winning again, let’s take a look at his swing from Doral in 1997 to see what made him “tick”.

One thing I really like about David Duval is the way he finishes his swing with his back straight. This is really good for painless-back golf.

On the takeaway, David Duval looks pretty good.

At top of his swing, David is in perfect plane.

Between his backswing and downswing, you can clearly tell that David is really transferring his weight back to the left.

Also notice that his head is actually turning towards the target at impact. David Duval is the only other professional golfer I know who lets his head move freely during impact other than Annika Sorenstam.

I believe this head move can actually help the golfer hit the ball better if done right. But if you simply move your head at impact, it will probably make you chop the ball more times than not. To do it right, try following the golf ball as it takes off.

Watch David Duval’s wonderful wind-up finish. He’s almost wind-up too much but you get the idea here.

Hopefully David Duval does recover from his long-term winning draught. I have seen signs of him playing better lately at the British Open where he finishes Top 10 for the first 2 days. Time will tell whether David Duval is able to come back to competitive golf or not but he’s still a British Open champ.

Paul Goydos in the Lead at the Players Championship!

0 Comments Published May 11th, 2008 in Golf News.

Well, my predictions were a little off for today as Paul Goydos took the lead, Anthony Kim fell way back with a 79, but Sergio Garcia is still in there.

My bet still goes to Sergio Garcia, let’s see what happens tomorrow.

FYI, Anthony Kim still leads in driving distance for the week. That might be his culprit, maybe trying to hit too hard.

In the meanwhile, Paul Goydos leads in putts, which is probably what it takes for a tournament like this.

Too bad again, Tiger wasn’t there to mess up the scores…
