looking at this swing for the first time, it looked very familiar, then i compared it with my swing and its nearly a perfect match, he just has a little more lag and my knee bends more inward. I also hit a fade all the time so looking at what makes him hit a fade might actually help me to hit straighter. Thank you
Easy break down, Tuck trail elbow to body (power and in to out swing),keep lead arm bicep to pec, transfer weight to lead leg before swinging down, move lead leg back to naturally open hip and allow room
Really great analysis. Believe it or not, it’s exactly what I do. I only hit a 220 yard drive, but it’s an effortless, slow, easy drive sequence for me. I can hit 10 in a row straight as an arrow with my driver. Not interested in hitting it harder or faster.
James Fondren : Forget the hips but stay relaxed and swing fast and your hips will move correctly. The body reacts to fast hands. This is why those professional lady golfers on the LPGA can out hit you,but not me.
That’s why amateurs should try old school swings where you turn your hips and lift your heel off the ground, swinging like this gonna give you back problems.
Let me summarize.: Take a look at how long the right shoulder stays behind the left during the downswing. This is what generates club speed and a free flowing motion...
Kemau Si I think he creates his speed by the that his left shoe lace is a bit tighter, also his left ball is slight above plane compared to his right ball. This gives him the x-factor plus the accumulator.
Brooks doesn't care about fans or swing mechanics or even golf. All he cares about is acting like he doesn't care about golf. Well he also cares about looking like a badass. And he loves it when people say he's built like a linebacker when he is not remotely built like a linebacker. Unless we're talking intramural league.
He keeps the left hand lower/outside and right hand higher/inside until passing the inside of right leg! That means the shaft is still upward with bendingback curvature. After that he start to pull the left wrist up and push the right wrist down. This creates rotational speed but the rotation always leave the club head behind the shaft. We see the club head goes forward the shaft before impact and l believe the head will shoot away by itself. So we need some extra power to drive the club head runs ahead of the shaft. This power comes from making the shaft spinning by roll both wrists counterclockwisly and somehow you will find the fingers are roll backward!. How to do this? I need some help.
People making comments about he's gonna wreck his back, hip, knee, blah blah swinging the club like that. DUH. you've gotta do those things to swing the club 120. These guys know that and they're willing to make the sacrifice for their sport. It's like telling a linebacker youre running too fast or too hard into someone and gonna hurt yourself. No shit that's kinda the point
@@dmadden2666 Except that a guy like Langer wouldn't be nearly as succesful on tour today. The game has changed. Power is king. You need to move it, if you want to compete. But for a club golfer, or weekend golfer, I totally agree. Modeling themselves after a Langer or an Els, that type of swing. That timing will last much longer, and so will their bodies. I agree 100% with the original post when it comes to the tour, though.
I never noticed this until I started doing it on the course myself but look how long he stays looking down at the ball into contact and keeps his head down after it's gone. It's kind of a taboo thing in golf instruction nowadays to keep head down but it's really noticeable in this swing.
Really helped me middle my driver. Everything has much better flow in the swing using the elbow as a timing mechanism. Similar move with the elbow for spiking a volleyball.
One question, this particular trackman data for the path is 1.7 leftward and the face angle is 3.2 leftward, correct? In that case, instead of hitting his favored fades, that shot was actually a hook (or pull-draw) because the face is close to the path. Right? Thanks.
I don’t hit it as far as this guy ( too bad bench pressing and squats have nothing to do with the golf swing) but this is how I ATTEMPT to go at it. Lol! This is a good video for me because that’s exactly what I’ve been trying to accomplish with the right elbow! I love hitting fades becuz they land softer and keep u out of trouble more often than a hard running draw.
Very stacked at the top...reminds me of Palmer who also laid it off at the top and used his powerful shoulders like this. Opposite of Nicklaus who got his power from his big hips.
If we take a look at Brooks Koepka's most recent appearances, i.e. PGA Championship and CJ Cup in Korea, then we can see that he tees up his ball lower now when he intends to use his driver. More, he sets the ball a bit further back in his stance, more or less in front of his left heel. As a matter of fact his downswing may look a bit steeper. I can imagine that some coach - who? - suggested him such a change. Anyway we cannot say that it was a mistake since Brooks goes on hitting monster drives right down the fairway most of the time. Come on Brooks!
Couple questions. Is it good routine to let my arms hang from shoulders? Is it correct to feel like I start my backswing with my feet, generating up? I usually carry 230 and total 250...260.
Absolutely correct. The swing is like cracking a whip: you use the big muscles of the lower body to initiate the centrifugal force. I was a really big hitter and when I was really cracking it I felt that I was just holding on to the club to keep it from flying out of my hands. People go on endlessly about release and delayed hits and all that, and I found that all nonsense. Use your lower body correctly, and everything else follows automatically.
Kudos for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (search on google)? It is a great one of a kind product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate at last got excellent success with it.
Great video content! Excuse me for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (do a google search)? It is a great one of a kind guide for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy after many years got astronomical results with it.
Yep , looks like his butt is lower in squat position but gotta ask what got it there? Did he actually squat or is he pushing off the ground with his right right foot which would look like he squatting when he is pushing off his right inner foot and right side is getting taller.
All the top pros started golf pre-teens or just after. I started at 17, too late for a swing like Brooks'. Most pros could not push the right elbow so far forward, the right wrist has to be extremely flexible.
He definitely does not have a roll release as his club head is nearly square more than a foot from impact he might roll his arms some well after impact but that is really immaterial at that point. And people who keep their right arm bent longer in downswing like Brooks are the ones that have the drive hold release, the golfers that roll their hands late to square the club are the players that have very little right arm bend at impact e.g. Mickelson and their club just past impact with irons are more flippy and the head and shaft do not line up with the left arm when club is 6 inches or so past impact. Golfers with the roll release swing just past impact the butt of the club will point inside the left arm, players with a hold release the butt of their club will line up with the left arm or will point to the right just past impact and Brooks does that even with his driver.
My hunch says he will have hip and left knee problems from his hip stall at impact. The joints can only take so much of that. Hope he's getting the right supplements to protect his joints.
@@arjanpetersen He's just got common sense. The hips, back, and knees can only take so much. Trevino predicted that Tiger would end up up with a bad back, and he was right. This swing has a lot of similarities to Freddie Couples, and he ended up with back problems as well. More power to him; I wish him well. But I think he's heading towards serious body problems.
Funny enough my coach is having me study his swing cuz he says my build and mobility are similar to his. Hope I don’t end up with injuries long term as a weekend golfer
it looks very solid to me... the only thing is that forearm a bit too tense with that wrist a bit curved.. for the rest.. it looks very solid to me.. true that he makes a little chicken wing, but i think its because of the same extra tension of the forearms.
A roll release ? I think you are missing some info here. First in your vid I hear your too many comments on how he gets in the impact position but I dont see a FO view of the impact and post impact .At 6.42 we have a slight view of the post impact but without the ball. But from that position we can see that he is NOT ROLLING THROUGH impact but AFTER IMPACT, which is quite natural. In this position left shoulder is still in internal rotation with the left elbow pointing to the target. Just try it . Put your left elbow in this position and try to roll your left hand. Good luck Right shoulder is in external rotation with the right elbow close to his body. In this frame the right hand still in extention with the palm underneath the left hand. In this same frame we can see clearly the crest of his glove . Go check Phil at the same position and you'll see what is a roll release. Go check Jamie Sadlowsky and you'll see the same bent left arm at impact. This is not a perfect swing but his release pattern is quite stable through impact. Do more research on the subject.
Grady Whitman actually It was how he swung. His knee not only went straight but buckled. Then he trained in combat boots for seal camp and really hurt it bad. Then he won the us open on it.
Does anybody on Tour swing harder at the ball? I doubt it. Maybe Justin Thomas or Bubba Watson come close. How did Brooks hurt his wrist? On the golf course or in the gym? He's a very watchable player. I was rooting for him on Sunday at the 2018 Colonial (Fort Worth Invitational) but he just couldn't catch his playing partner, Justin Rose.
Nope. Brooks hits it farther. But Rory is very long too. In spite of only being 5 9' and 160 lbs his perfect swing lets him create incredible swing speed. Perfect mechanics. Yeah, Rory regularly hits 350 yard bombs. So does Justin Thomas even though he's only 5 10" and weighs a wimpy 150lbs. Amazing that these little guys (like Rickie Fowler) can compete with guys that are over 6 feet tall and weigh 185 and up. Pretty sure that Brooks Koepka had the longest drive average at the 2018 US Open.
But how does Brooks get that right arm in front. He clears the hips first. That's how he does it. If you don't clear the hips, you get stuck and you can't get that lag. Done.
Two ways to create lag. Shaft will automatically load with change of direction or you can create by pulling the handle but then you have created an angle that you need to fix before impact.
If you are in your 20s, workout like crazy, have great flexibility with superior hand/eye coordination, and practice daily for most of your life, you too can swing like this.
Does it seem to anyone that he does not use his lower body very much in his swing? Mostly upper body and arms?? Not much hip rotation. Whatever works...he's one of the best.
a sign that "his body is really pulling through his arms". HUH? How can a body pull arms through the arms through? The ONLY way for the arms to do what they are doing, is to use the arms, specifically the trail arm, which he has said he uses and hits as hard as he can.
In the back swing, getting the right elbow in the right place requires a very active adduction of the scapula. If the scapula does not adduct the R arm must ,move the elbow back which is not a good place for it . If you look at Brooks" left hand at the top of the backswing and draw a line from the hand down to the ground you will see it passes through his trail foot. I. have seen many good players achieve this position. But when I swing ,the same line drops down several inches. BEHIND. my trail foot. I think this means that I do not engage my right scapula enough in the backswing. and it puts me in a weaker starting point to develop. clubhead speed and power. Does thus make sense?Should I work exercising the muscles that adduct right scapula and make it more. active and stronger. and practice. trying to achieve the relationship between the left hand and the trail foot that pros do. ?
BK is not swinging this way today. Notice his new position at the top. The position he's in here keeps him from pulling or hooking the ball. But the current position causes him to pull the ball, which he did today in the FedX Champ. Then, to compensate he got out in front of the ball, pushing it far to the right. Who let him make this change? Or, did he do it without realizing it? Whichever, it cost him the FedX, no doubt!
@@brookskoepka5158 Ah, I do feel the freeze of a tease down my back. Nevertheless, I'll take a deep bite. Would you please go back to a more open stance, with the ball more forward, and with your head more behind the ball at putting address. You'll put a better roll on it, and you'll be able to see the line better. No doubt you can take it from there! Ha! PS: Get well! And win the Open!
His left leg stays as an anchor on the back swing. Don’t let the leg collapse. His hip turn is not that great but that’s ok. This allows an easy return to contact with great power and consistency. Again, don’t left the left leg collapse. You will begin to strike the ball with compression.
This is a young mans swing,you need to be like 18-26 to drive hard into a straight left leg. I could say some elements of his back swing can be applied to a little older golfers,but not so much the downswing he's just young. This is like analyzing Michael Jordan's dunking motion when he was in his prime it ain't going to mean anything. I cant dunk so I assume I will never carry the ball 340 yards in the air anytime soon either.
You missed the biggest thing that stands out in his swing compared to most pros, let alone amateurs. He has both legs straight at and thru impact, he literally launches himself off the ground. All that talk about what his upper body is doing, but missed the biggest unique aspect to his swing?? Remember Laurie Davis? Same move!
He’s not thinking all that. Lag isn’t sequence it’s from a bent right arm. I guarantee the clubs past his hands at impact but it’s not flipping, it’s scooping. It starts undoing about his right thigh. All good players do it. It’s not rotation of his forearms. We can square the face with our upper arms. His right arm never straightens till well after impact. Close to himself to load, farther to release.
You significantly over complicated this. The reason there is any lag of ANY golfers hands, arms or club head and the back elbow leads is the right hip has initiated the downswing. Once that occurs, everything else LAGS behind. Closer to impact, the hips slow down and transfer their angular momentum to the upper body, then arms, then hands. then club. It isn't "rocket science".
PED's aren't just like steroids they can make a player train or practise harder for longer hours without getting injured. They also help increase alertness, awareness, sharpness, reaction time, strength, pressure situations, recovery time and stamina. I am a long time boxing fan so i know a thing or 2 about PED's and the advantages lol. The real reason so many golfers pulled out of the olympics 2 years ago is because of the random drug testing that would have been involved. I would be shocked if there aren't a ton of players on PED's in golf because they hardly ever drug test and the amount of money involved in golf is worth the 'risk' reward ratio.
@@SiLoMixMaster boxing and golf are two totally different sports. PEDs give you next to nothing in advantage in golf besides if you were injured and using them for recovery. Reason why they didn't go play in the Olympics bc there wasn't a purse in the millions that they usually play for. Also a gold medal doesn't mean crap compared to winning a major. Stick to boxing dude

Awesome channel super glad i found it.
Look how far forward his ball position is. So important with driver!
It is about normal though, he's aiming left of the target for his fade. I would say just inside his left instep.
I’d either top it or hit way too high with the ball that forward
Excellent explanation..
Really great analysis. Believe it or not, it’s exactly what I do. I only hit a 220 yard drive, but it’s an effortless, slow, easy drive sequence for me. I can hit 10 in a row straight as an arrow with my driver. Not interested in hitting it harder or faster.
Glad to hear. I’m a novice golfer. Would love to get 200 consistently straight like that.
Look at his top of the swing position, that's FLEXIBILITY that 99% of the golfing public does not have.
Flexibility really seems to be the key. Yoga has helped me quite a lot with flexibility, but even more so with balance and focus.
Good golf is all about club-head speed. Swing fast!
James Fondren : Forget the hips but stay relaxed and swing fast and your hips will move correctly. The body reacts to fast hands. This is why those professional lady golfers on the LPGA can out hit you,but not me.

@@arjanpetersen He takes the change from his left pocket and puts it in his right.
Nice breakdown. Thanks.

Brooks doesn't care about fans or swing mechanics or even golf. All he cares about is acting like he doesn't care about golf. Well he also cares about looking like a badass. And he loves it when people say he's built like a linebacker when he is not remotely built like a linebacker. Unless we're talking intramural league.
@@coxric find yourself some help man
@@CARPital Okay but Brooks is not built like a linebacker. Unless you're talking about high school football.
On which side of those two trees does the ball go?
He keeps the left hand lower/outside and right hand higher/inside until passing the inside of right leg! That means the shaft is still upward with bendingback curvature.
After that he start to pull the left wrist up and push the right wrist down. This creates rotational speed but the rotation always leave the club head behind the shaft.
We see the club head goes forward the shaft before impact and l believe the head will shoot away by itself.
So we need some extra power to drive the club head runs ahead of the shaft.
This power comes from making the shaft spinning by roll both wrists counterclockwisly and somehow you will find the fingers are roll backward!.

Agree but not entirely. With a proper swing one can play at a high level well into their seniority. Look at bernard Langer

@@winstonsmith11 power is king but putting is even more king.

The way he changes the face angle from about neutral to shut as he starts the downswing is very unique.

you dont keep your head down. You TURN your head.
I've tried the weight shift to help load up but I can't keep the fade/slice action consistently.
never finished your thought on the shoulders. also leg action description is vague
Who went out and swung their driver in the yard after this
Always. Feels great and then i am excited to hit balls on the range and then i realize that i am still trash
not me. i already know i will never come close to brooks.
Nice. Can you do the same DLT and face-on analysis for a long iron?

That straightening of the leg. Is that force what caused the injury? Just like Tiger Woods
My swing looks almost exactly like this, except the laying down the club behind the head in the beginning of the downswing. That looks kinda awkward.
Is steepness also caused by his right elbow bent in the downswing? Around 7:00 minutes it looks very narrow.
Lag comes from keeping tension on the clubhead by gradual accelerating it
you have no idea what you're talking about or are poor at communicating
it looks very solid to me... the only thing is that forearm a bit too tense with that wrist a bit curved.. for the rest.. it looks very solid to me.. true that he makes a little chicken wing, but i think its because of the same extra tension of the forearms.
Shit.. yeah he could never win a major or anything with that trash.

This is not a perfect swing but his release pattern is quite stable through impact. Do more research on the subject.
Hence his accuracy from the tee box...
Well said. Thanks

'most people think that lag comes from starting your lower body or having good sequencing'
"BUT lag can happen ... a sign of good sequencing."
Crazy Hoganesque downswing trap position.
The lag comes from the downward movement of the spine.

Hmm no it didn’t. His weight regiment was a big part and also his SEAL training he hurt it as well.
Yep.
I’ve always used my hips and lower body to activate the downswing but could never achieve ‘lag’. This elbow move was what created lag for me

His left arm bends thru impact to compensate for dipping on downswing so he is actually losingsome distance and accuracy
Thankyou Hank Haney.
Does it seem to anyone that he does not use his lower body very much in his swing? Mostly upper body and arms?? Not much hip rotation. Whatever works...he's one of the best.
a sign that "his body is really pulling through his arms". HUH? How can a body pull arms through the arms through? The ONLY way for the arms to do what they are doing, is to use the arms, specifically the trail arm, which he has said he uses and hits as hard as he can.
In the back swing, getting the right elbow in the right place requires a very active adduction of the scapula. If the scapula does not adduct the R arm must ,move the elbow back which is not a good place for it .
If you look at Brooks" left hand at the top of the backswing and draw a line from the hand down to the ground you will see it passes through his trail foot. I. have seen many good players achieve this position. But when I swing ,the same line drops down several inches. BEHIND. my trail foot. I think this means that I do not engage my right scapula enough in the backswing. and it puts me in a weaker starting point to develop. clubhead speed and power. Does thus make sense?Should I work exercising the muscles that adduct right scapula and make it more. active and stronger. and practice. trying to achieve the relationship between the left hand and the trail foot that pros do. ?
A lot of power but I’m not sure how I feel about the swing itself
3 majors world number one swing right there
Show some iron shots in slow motion just like this.
BK is not swinging this way today. Notice his new position at the top. The position he's in here keeps him from pulling or hooking the ball. But the current position causes him to pull the ball, which he did today in the FedX Champ. Then, to compensate he got out in front of the ball, pushing it far to the right. Who let him make this change? Or, did he do it without realizing it?
Whichever, it cost him the FedX, no doubt!
Thanks for being my motivational fan
@@brookskoepka5158 Ah, I do feel the freeze of a tease down my back. Nevertheless, I'll take a deep bite. Would you please go back to a more open stance, with the ball more forward, and with your head more behind the ball at putting address. You'll put a better roll on it, and you'll be able to see the line better. No doubt you can take it from there! Ha!
PS: Get well! And win the Open!
@@lillybloom1590 oh thanks I really appreciate this stance
He plays the ball way up in his stance
Yep, that encourages him to build speed to catch up to the ball.
If only this little man could crack the top 10 in driving distance
what a monster - wow
There's no relaxation in the forearms ... If you relax your forearms and start turning with the lower body that is not what happens.
His left leg stays as an anchor on the back swing. Don’t let the leg collapse. His hip turn is not that great but that’s ok. This allows an easy return to contact with great power and consistency. Again, don’t left the left leg collapse. You will begin to strike the ball with compression.
It also helps if you have tendens just as long as Gumby's! 🐈
Reminds me of Freddie Couples...back problems, anyone?
Charles Barkley has the best swing 😀💪🏾
This is a young mans swing,you need to be like 18-26 to drive hard into a straight left leg. I could say some elements of his back swing can be applied to a little older golfers,but not so much the downswing he's just young. This is like analyzing Michael Jordan's dunking motion when he was in his prime it ain't going to mean anything. I cant dunk so I assume I will never carry the ball 340 yards in the air anytime soon either.
PREACH boatright!
Brooks is 28 and not everybody watching is old
🙏
You missed the biggest thing that stands out in his swing compared to most pros, let alone amateurs. He has both legs straight at and thru impact, he literally launches himself off the ground. All that talk about what his upper body is doing, but missed the biggest unique aspect to his swing?? Remember Laurie Davis? Same move!
Not a swing to copy for sure... I can count on one hand the number of golfers who hit with a bent left arm at impact.
Pure classic swing
His tee goes further than my golfball
T-Spine mobility is goat
My guy said in front of his pec😂😂😂☠️
Really shut at top as his speed allows him to get away with it. Really like how elbows fold .
Kind of like Palmer, who also had huge shoulders
@@nicholasschroeder3678 Good point and loved Arnie. Arnie held his hook off while Brooks lets his elbows fold .
Only for someone with very strong arms
stuck swing, knee injury dont help. He needs a better mechanic to really become a legend
@@DTB1995 Its why he Lost to a handicapped Tiger master title. sucked to get beaten by an old guy with a broken back due to a stuck mechanic.
Wilco smashes it way crazier
Insane lag and move at the top of the swing
Look at his muscle mass he should be number #1 in driving distance if he has Rory swing kkkk
This looks like the swing that Paul Wilson teaches: The Body Swing
He’s not thinking all that. Lag isn’t sequence it’s from a bent right arm. I guarantee the clubs past his hands at impact but it’s not flipping, it’s scooping. It starts undoing about his right thigh. All good players do it. It’s not rotation of his forearms. We can square the face with our upper arms. His right arm never straightens till well after impact. Close to himself to load, farther to release.
Kepka swing
You significantly over complicated this. The reason there is any lag of ANY golfers hands, arms or club head and the back elbow leads is the right hip has initiated the downswing. Once that occurs, everything else LAGS behind. Closer to impact, the hips slow down and transfer their angular momentum to the upper body, then arms, then hands. then club. It isn't "rocket science".
Not expert analysis
He wil be the first golfer ever to get caught using peds, u watch
The dude isn't that big. He's like 20% body fat.
PED's aren't just like steroids they can make a player train or practise harder for longer hours without getting injured. They also help increase alertness, awareness, sharpness, reaction time, strength, pressure situations, recovery time and stamina. I am a long time boxing fan so i know a thing or 2 about PED's and the advantages lol. The real reason so many golfers pulled out of the olympics 2 years ago is because of the random drug testing that would have been involved. I would be shocked if there aren't a ton of players on PED's in golf because they hardly ever drug test and the amount of money involved in golf is worth the 'risk' reward ratio.
What a dumb ignorant statement
@@SiLoMixMaster boxing and golf are two totally different sports. PEDs give you next to nothing in advantage in golf besides if you were injured and using them for recovery. Reason why they didn't go play in the Olympics bc there wasn't a purse in the millions that they usually play for. Also a gold medal doesn't mean crap compared to winning a major. Stick to boxing dude
Jon B LMAO 😂 Wow you clearly don’t know shit about golf or PED’s 🤣 stick to your naive fairytale world of Santa and golfers who don’t take PED’s 🤣😂🙈
Liz Cho golf
He twists his left knee bad, wonder if that is the one he blew.
