Fred Couples Swing - The Driver

1 Comment Published September 22nd, 2007 in Balance, Butter, Driver, Fred Couples, Golf Video, Rhythm.

I love Fred Couple’s swing. He probably has the most relaxed swing with such a fluid swing rhythm you can describe simple only as, “butter”.

He’s rhythm is the thing to copy. If you can watch his swing everyday and copy his rhythm, it will definitely help you.

This is probably my favorite arsenal in my bag. You’ve probably seen Tiger on the practice tee showing off this shot too.

It’s a low-bullet slice shot. It’s great for hitting around the trees. The ball will take off very fast at about 90mph and then curve quickly at the end to the right.

Here’s how to hit it:

1. Get a 2 or 3 iron.

2. Open your stance about 30 degrees to the left. (The amount you open depends on how much curve you want on the ball. This must be acquired by practice and feel.)

3. Open your clubface about 30 degrees to the right. (same as above)

4. Put the ball in the center or back of your stance. (This depends on how low you want the ball to start. But don’t put the ball too far back, otherwise you will end up hitting down on the ball and put too much backspin which will make it go up.)

5. Rhythm is everything. Swing nice and easy about 3/4 or 1/2 swing. (A knock-down shot basically…)

P.S. You don’t have to hit down on the ball. Actually you want to sweep the ball like a Driver or a 3 Wood. The reason is again that you don’t want to hit down on the ball. That will cause extra backspin which will make your ball flight rise and beats the whole purpose of trying to hit a “low-bullet” slice shot.

You can practice this shot by trying to hit at driving range poles, yard markers, etc…etc…

Swing Keys on My PING Bag

Remember I said I wrote down 3 swing keys the other day when I hit the ball so great? Well above is the picture of it.

My Bag12

Well, I had an even better ball striking day so I had to add two more keys which are:

4. Longer Followthrough - meaning as long as your followthrough is longer than your backswing, you won’t de-accelerate and have any of those shanky problems.

5. Rhythm - meaning you need a smooth flowing swing. Think of Freddy Couple’s swing before you hit your shot.

I am ready to try out for the mini-tours again! My swing looks bad but I can hit it where I need to score.
