Well, today I was going to do a swing analysis of yesterday’s AT&T PGA Tour winner, Ryuji Imada, but here’s a little look back into his college golf career.
Btw, Ryuji Imada won almost every AJGA tournament back when he was a junior and placed 2nd in the 1999 NCAA. It’s amazing that it took him so long to win his 1st PGA Tour tournament.
My guess is that since he won one, he will keep winning a lot more of them, especially this year…

Sergio probably has one of the biggest “lags” out all the top players today.
Now, he probably comes as close to Ben Hogan’s “lag”.
Is lag a good thing?
Well, “lag”, I think is overrated. It’s the egg, not the chicken. In other words, you shouldn’t have to try to create “lag”. These players such as Sergio Garcia and Ben Hogan, didn’t try to do that.
They ended up doing that naturally while trying to hit the ball square in the middle of the clubface.
Even if you look at Tiger’s swing, he does have some lag, but too much “lag” can actually hinder your golf performance and you need fine hand control to be able to play consistently with “lag”.
“Lag”, however, is great for really squeezing every bit of your wrist power efficiency. Now, this is for the top golfers or scratch golfers. If you still can’t break par, you should really stick to simpler ideas.

What you need is really to practice lots and lots of short pitch shots as Sergio Garcia is doing here. Most good pro tour players will actually hit over 75% of their practice shots for shots within 100 yards.
Why?
Well, this is the worst-kept secret on the Tour that no average Joe will ever listen to. When you hit the smaller shots, you swing in tempo and in control.
Now, once you are swinging in good tempo and control, you can carry that to your longer clubs such as the driver. (It’s never the other way around, even John Daly will tell you so…)
Don’t believe me?
Lol, well if you are ever in San Francisco, we can play for some money and I can show you how to take someone’s money.

Just in, Sergio Garcia wins the 2008 Players Championship. Remember my 2 predictions? Well, maybe I got lucky or not but it’s easy to tell that a veteran will always win over an event like this.
Paul Goydos is a veteran too but Sergio Garcia has definitely proven himself as “one of the elite” players who can dig down at the heat of competition.
Kudos to the Spaniard for another win for your fan! 
Tomorrow, we will do a swing analysis on the champion Sergio Garcia so make sure to subscribe to the blog!

Swing Analysis - Anthony Kim

Here’s a good video of Anthony Kim’s swing. From what I can tell as a pro golfer, Anthony Kim comes the closes to mimicking Tiger’s followthrough. Well, I think it’s actually better than Tiger’s as Anthony doesn’t lift off his left foot like Tiger used to do at his age.
Swing isn’t everything but does help.
Here’s another look from different angles:

Hi there, my name is Max.
Welcome to ProGolferDigest.com.
As a former pro golfer playing in various mini-tour tournaments and other stints as a Pro golfer, I’d like to share what I have learned from other Pro golfers and famous teachers such as Tiger’s old coach, Butch Harmon.
As a parody of Tiger Woods’ name, I made this site called “Junger Woods” since Jung is my legal name.
Why am I not on the PGA Tour yet?
Well, I broke my finger and I ran out of funding and money to keep going as a pro and dove into the corporate world, wasting my youth and energy to make a living. My finger injury lasted almost 2+ years before I could play normal golf again.
Now, I am on my own at least, making money with blogs. My next goal is to make enough money so I can support my pro-tour challenge. I know it’s going to take me couple years to get to the PGA, but I thought I’d make a blog and tell you about my journeys there.
I will be doing swing analysis of pro golfers and also critiquing my own golf swing. By simply reading my golf analysis, you will learn everything I have learned from various pro golfers and teachers.
Why don’t you become a teaching professional?
Well, I don’t want to end up as a golf teacher. My goal has been always to “play” competitive golf and nothing else. Heck, I do teach golf right here, on my blog. That’s the least I can do to give back the 19 years of golf experience that I have.
Besides, blogging actually freed me from the gruesome 9 to 5 schedule of a real “job”. Now I have more time to focus on golf and blab to you about golf.
Can you do any trick shots?
Yes, I actually do hold the record for most shots hit with 1 golf ball. You can watch the video here.
What’s your handicap?
Well, I haven’t had that much time to play lately since I have to make a living in front of my PC but I will shoot anywhere near par whenever I go out. (+1-3 handicap…) My lowest score is a 64 so far, which isn’t great by pro tour standards but yes, I will take most people’s money when we bet for skins. My goal is to shoot 4-6 under consistently on any course I play, which is something most pro tours can do.
Do you have any swing tips?
Well, my swing tips are kinda all over the place but while I get organized you can check out some of the tips here:
How to hit the dreaded 30 yard pitch shot
How to hit the 15 yard pitch shot with a 60 degree lob wedge
I also write a tech blog over at Zedomax.com, so check that out too!
