Jim Furyk has always been one of my golfing heroes due to the fact that he’s swing is probably the weirdest on the PGA Tour yet he is so successful.
Although Jim Furyk might breaks all rules of physics and textbook teaching, I will prove today that he does have one of the best after impact positions in golf.
At setup, Jim’s hands are pretty much “glued” to his thighs and he stands very very close to the ball.
On takeaway, Jim’s clubface is shut and a little inside the plane.
At half-way, Jim is actually on-plane with the hands but his club is very upright.
At the top of the swing, Jim is pretty much trying to get his hands as vertical as he can. This is not a bad thing as even Jack Nicklaus tells you to do this at one point in his career.
Vertical swings have been great for hitting the ball very high.
Now the greatest part about Jim is that he re-routes his club back into perfect hitting position as seen here.
He’s actually slightly inside the plane, allowing a perfect setup for inside-out swing.
At impact, Jim must turn his hips, shoulders, head, and everything except the club in order to square the clubface. Not the easiest way to swing but watch for the next action.
Check out how perfectly Jim’s club is on-plane. This is something that almost every top golfer does regardless of how they swing the club back.
This is why Jim is on the PGA Tour.
Great finish, and another legendary swing that no one will ever be able to copy.
