- We meet the fascinating NCAA and U.S. Amateur champion, Bryson DeChambeau, a man who has rejected golfing convention to devise a unique set of clubs that could potentially revolutionise the game. Here Bryson discusses his one-plane swing and the single-length iron set concept that he believes could make the game a lot easier for beginner players

Not sure why a bunch of armchair pros are dying to point out all the "problems" with his swing. I think this guy is breathing fresh air into golf.
Could not agree more
+Lenny Lehnertz The people trolling his swing are a bunch of fat 22 handicaps.
+Tec 9 +19 actually
and I'm sure all of those critics/haters hold PGA tour cards; a US amateur win and a NCAA title (in the same year)...
I think by now, as of winning the last two events, they have shut their mouths. HAHA.
This interview changed my opinion on this guy, hope he keeps winning
I bought the Cobra single length Irons and LOVE them! I went from 110 to high 80's this season. (No exaggeration !). Still improving....
Hope I get there soon
This guys a great speaker!
Don’t understand why some people dislike him, seems like a genuine and nice person! A fan of his unique swing!
@@DTB1995 ehh..idk
While I am not a big proponent of the single axis swing I think single length clubs may have some merit. His knowledge about "The G.O.L.F. machine" by Kelley is pretty impressive. I read that book 20 years ago and it took me a while to figure out what it was telling me about the swing. Interesting interview.
This is great! It makes so much sense. You're going to see alot of changes in the future because of Bryson.
Nice call
@DaveBailey85 can you explain the key differences Bryson has made on the PGA tour?
he looks and talks like jordan spieth.
he makes golf swing simple for us amateur.
wish him the best
"puts a little more toll on my body so I dont use it always" 4 years later all out bombs off the tee
I could listen to this man talk about golf for a very very long time.
I am new to golf and enjoying the game tremendously. As soon as I swung the 4 iron, I wandered why its much harder to hit than the 7 iron. To me, as a complete novice, having one length shaft for all irons was the answer. So I searched the Internet and guess what, I found cobra's one length irons! Never looked back since and enjoying the clubs. So this guy obviously was a pioneer but I think most experienced golfers just don't bother to think outside the known traditions of golf. Good on this player, I hope he will transform the game of golf.
Fascinating. Got a friend who bought a set of same length clubs and he loves them.
love this mention of Bobby Clampett from Bryson. Bobby Clampett doesn't get as much love and respect as he deserves, he was one of the best if not the best strikers to ever play in the PGA.
This guy's driving capabilities combined with power irons and great putts are just a big inspiration for the game of golf!
Bright man....We need more like him literally everywhere....
I'm here because French speaking commentators were being somewhat dismissive of his intellectual approach to things...
I say: more power to this lad!
One length clubs aren’t a new invention. A company tried it either in the 70’s or 80’s and it didn’t take off. Bryson is my favorite golfer to watch. I’ve been doing the single plane with same length irons for almost 2 years now and it has improved my game tremendously! Go Bryson
@Christopher Keller and now they’re popular because of Bryson D
@Christopher Keller I shaved 12 strokes off my game. I also use the single plane swing. Works for me. Good luck and happy golfing mate.
@Christopher Keller May you’re game only get better from this day on. 👍🏻
Infinite possibilities only come with an open mind...good for him
Years before Bryson enter pga, I pray single plane method swing at pga. And Bryson is the answer of my pray :)
Instant Fan!
Golf is science, Gozzz he is awesome 👏🏼
My boy loves golf and got all beefy for it. Dudes the fucking man. Also if anyone wants to learn about single plane golf look at Moe Norman. He would have loved Bryson.
No Bryson should love mo.Their not similar. Mo wanted the simplest swing Bryson clutters the brain . Mo saw it hit it. Bryson takes forever calculating. They are very different . Mo wouldn't even hit the range before a match.
I'm a beginner and for 2 months could only use a sand wedge. I grabbed my 7 iron, my nemesis, and decided to use one plane swing as Moe Norman did and I hit it sweet, straight and 180 metres 5 shots in a row! But it did cause lower back pain.
Read a book or 2 on the mental side of the game.. I'd recommend "be a player" cheers
interesting young man. like him
Still like him? Just curious
Gee listen to him talk compared to most college "student" athletes. Wow
+Greg Grohs Yeah but he went to college to study physics, not to play football or some other commercialized sport. His priorities might have been a little different compared to some of the "student athletes" now days.
+Brendan Butthurt not to mention most if not all NCAA golfers are well spoken
This is how innovation happens!
Bryson is using the Setup for Impact concept taught by Kirk Junge. It is the easiest way to play golf.
Alan Kaymer is Kirk Junge ( or a child from China making.001 cent per post)
He’s come a long way in 5yrs
how hard would it have been to include at least s picture of his putter?
We included pics of all his clubs online and in the magazine, but fair point
Bit confusing but he’s one of my favourite golfers
And I said to Mike: "This could potentially change the game." ....... yup.
I like this kid!
This is the way
Golf visionary...
The single plane swing is more efficient than the traditional swing. In order to execute this, the shaft should be pointing through the middle of your back at address. This will help your hands return to the same position at impact, as they were at address. Many golfers have low hands at address but at impact their hands are significantly higher. Make your life easier and use the SINGLE PLANE BABY.
Do you use it?
+Cornwall1888 Yes. Never hit the ball straighter than I do now.
+Ricky Parker +Cornwall1888 Exactly, with the other key component being the thicker grips that allow him to hold each club through the lifelines of his palms, which neutralises wrist hinge. Instructor Wayne DeFrancesco has done an interesting swing analysis of Bryson here if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/Pyz055wZEFE/видео.html
+Golf Digest Middle East I have seen all of the videos. I am aware of all the components involved. I have been researching diligently. Thank you!
People mistake hitting it straight as a good thing, while in certain situations it can be but i see my ball moving i rarely hit a straight shot its always moving left to right, with that swing type are you still able to shape your ball flight?
Back to back wins as of today....😉
Showed it to everyone....
2020 US Open( ⛳) Champion! 🏆🥇
2024 US Open( ⛳️) Champion🏆🥇
The point he is now advocating is does NOT use feel to impart the force of the hit. Not sure , but guess it just mechanics. The book refered to was written by Homer Kelly RIP, quite a story there. He worked with then young champ Bobby Clampett and it basically destroyed his swing. When Bobby sued him it for making too mechanical ! I think this is an elaboration of that we have different clubs (length, lie, loft etc.) and use ONE swing.
smart guy. He will probably win a major some day
I didn't have time to read all the posts so if I'm repeating an already asked question, sorry. Is anyone else old enough to remember that in the early 90's there was a set of clubs by one of the manufacturers, I'm thinking Powerbilt, that had a set that were all 6 iron length?. Does anyone remember who made it? I always wanted to try it but couldn't afford them back then.
I believe the manufacturer was Tommy Armor but I'm not absolutely positive. The set was called "Equalizers" and yes the irons were 6 iron length. I almost bought a set myself but didn't. Makes perfect sense doesn't it?
I think they came out in the late 80s.
That sounds correct. Thanks
Yes. It makes perfect sense!! Thank you for the reply.
cleveland did it i think
THIS DUDE REMINDS ME OF ANDREW IVARY,SOUNDS JUST LIKE MY LITTLE BRO. HE'S PROBABLY RIGHT TOO
I still don't really understand how he gets consistent gaps with all club lengths the same with only 4 degrees between clubs. Obviously he doesn't generate as much club head speed with his longer irons as he would if they were standard length.
All of the irons are the same weight. The loft determines the gaps. In a standard set the weight decreases the lower the club. This is how he counters the differences.
+Cornwall1888 Loft is what he uses to get distance, not iron length.
And a good sport too?
I think it’s working.
BOOM
I know the swings are different, but anyone else thinking about Moe Norman swing too? I #swinglikemoe
this guy looks like a different human
Back in the early 80's Tommy Amour golf produced their EQL Irons. All the irons were the length of a 6 iron. The woods were all the length of a fairway wood. Hope he is not grabbing credit for this.
He did major in Physics.
yes
'Majoring' is a very gray area... somewhere between signing-up and one test shy of graduating...
I call him Professor Gilmore now.
Henry Griffits Bryson Boom!
The instructors of TGM is who do the book and Homer the most disservice. Doyle tried to get me to do things that weren't biomechanically possible for me to do. The book is awesome and how he's describing it is how it was intended to be taught.
He looks much better/healthier at this weight.
I’m a discus thrower and immediately asked my golf
“Pro” buddy why the clubs aren’t the same
Length. I feel
Real
Comfortable with a 6 or 7 but wedges I have to lean over and feel
I lose
Power.
He told me I was nuts and this was 15 years ago.
Now look?
Ya now look. One guy does it.
6 iron length wedges are idiotic.
Fuck this guy is smart man
Bryson 'my coach Mike shai' Dechambeau
????????
His family must be very proud of Bryson :)
is he our future Jack ?
You serious!
And here he is playing Ryder cup...
Not sure he understands that he sounds like being part of the movementarians from the Simpsons. Let's all thank the Leader for this birdie!
this guys a drip
Genius scientist calualted spending all his time on driver distance and letting the rest of his game go to shit was a good idea.
Ha Ha. The manufacturers are going to love this. Stagnated by regulations they now have a new fad to take to market
*****
No, it's a fad ...
"Science" has thrown all sorts of ideas at us through the years from low-profile irons, square-headed drivers, over-size clubs and all manner of putter designs.
The problem is akin to fitting a carpet into a room that's too large. Get one part sorted and a buckle turns up somewhere else. For instance, make the "sweet spot" bigger and you create more aerodynamic drag, a more eccentric centre of gravity and more "shaft droop".
Unless Bryson's irons are goose-necked forward, the centre of gravity will trail the shaft more and more with increasing loft. This may be small but any serious golfer will notice once the club is in motion (especially at the transition) and dynamic loads, especially torque, become magnified. The human nervous system is very good at honing in on small differences if a task is repeated over and over. Eventually those differences feel large.
The distance differential between Byson's irons will necessarily be less when using equal length shafts; inescapable science, unless he varies his swing speed, so again the carpet analogy applies. Given the same swing speed, his less lofted clubs will go shorter than standard and his higher lofted clubs longer because the arc is the same.
In contrast, the varied lengths of standard clubs build-in different club-head speed for the same effort. If Bryson swings harder or more gently he can compensate, but that defeats the "science" of having everything "the same", doesn't it?
Bryson is a big man; he can compensate for loss of distance on his less lofted clubs as he has enough power to put them at a reasonable distance in the first place.
May I remind you he has a least TWO distinct swing planes, the one he uses for irons and the one he uses for woods. It might be argued that alternating between two distinct planes is worse than playing a range of progressively flattening ones? I also notice that when he plays from sand he is conventional.
Bryson has a good analytical brain and I'm sure he wouldn't argue with anything I've put down here. That skill, his course management and his competitive ability is what really makes him a good golfer, not his equipment, and if he does feel he gets an "edge" from it he will, even if it might only be psychological? Just as players do when the change their putter.
When you've seen as much new golf science consigned to the bin as I have and think it through you too will realise it's a fad. Besides, golfers are eternally obsessed with maximising distance, and losing that by a system of same length clubs is not going to appeal to many, but most of all, manufacturers NEED to keep selling you new equipment to survive, and the only way they can do that is to keep convincing you that what you have is inferior in some way .
:-)
@@SearchBucket2 Well he just won the U.S. Open by 6 strokes. So turns out it's NOT in fact a fad.
put this guy on the clock from now on.
He just won the U.S. Open. Only players to win NCAA singles title, US Amateurs, US Open: Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau. Have a great day :)
@@jhonnyspeed4513 He is a great golfer. His also one of the slowest players on tour. He is like a slow driver that causes a traffic jam behind him.
Bryson could rejuvenate Spieth’s game if he taught him the single plain swing.
I get the feeling a lot of golfers are going to become DeChambeauites :)
this guy is a genius...
I solved the swing with new science. If you do not understand how to swing with different length clubs logically then you don't understand the golf swing. By default you are clueless as to hit off any angle slope other than perfect flat. Every swing on the golf course is a different swing. Every change in slope means every trajectory is different. If the ball is above you or below, you have to swing around or down making each swing different by changing ratios of everything. The golfing machine is based off false premises. If the earth was flat & you feet were bolted to the ground 7 the ball position didn't move it
Yeah he wasn’t the first to come up with the idea of one lengths
Joseph Newcomb he never claimed that he was the first
He hasn’t but golf digest is
Ben Hogan or Bobby Jones had single length irons, it's not a new concept.
SUPER JUMPING JACK and somewhat some people still argue that Single Length irons „doesn‘t work“. Haha unbelievable...
still have to putt.
If I was forced to out like that, I give game up!
Just won the US Open. Seems like putting is ok.
@@jhonnyspeed4513 putting😂
I noticed he said he got the idea from someone's book... who's book was that again?? (my point being it must not have been much embraced by anyone). If he wants to swing like he does, that's fine. Trevino has his own swing... Furyk has his own swing... Do I think he will "change the game of golf"?? No....
so true! so many so called golf instructors would say Furyk's swing is garbage but look at how many times he's won in the PGA. It's all about impact!
Golfs Barry bonds
Tiger Woods is more comparable to Barry Bonds.
@@hugo9071 the joke is bryson is on roids...... I.E. Barry bonds
@@austi16 He does look bloated now just like Bonds on steroids.
@@hugo9071 a grown man can’t gain 50 pounds of muscle in 6 months lol
What chapter of the book talks about steroid junkies
Needs to win a few majors before his philosophy is truly accepted.
He won twice this year, not bad.
Yeah making a living on the PGA tour doesn't justify his method and the creativity he has to make his own swing. Jesus people are stupid.
@@DTB1995 And now he won a Major.
So what he's saying is completely bollocks as soon as he hits his driver?
He did experiment with a 7-iron length driver but couldn't hit it further than 260 yards
Golf Digest Middle East So his one plane is no more when he uses a shaft that is 6 inches longer then
+tatchy1001 No, he still utilizes one plane, just different body positions to make up for it.
***** No he says he uses the same length irons to keep it to a single spine angle and set up etc which then changes by using a longer shaft in the driver.
***** So as I said it's fine for his irons but as soon as he goes to his woods they whole one shaft length for consistency of swing is bollocks, thanks for confirming
Go watch a Moe Norman video
Moe was a clown.
Yeah you changed that squared off putter soon.. the pga banned it in 2017..ha!
smart but yo.. go google moe norman. pioneer of the single plane
If he was so smart he would realize he doesn't have crush the ball every time.
He just won the U.S. Open. But I'm sure your advice is truly valuable.
@@jhonnyspeed4513 Oh Hey! A real life "Jhonny come lately"
@@why-even-try-brotendo Do you feel stupid tho?
@@jhonnyspeed4513 No, not even a little bit. If he becomes the best golfer in the world by swinging out of his golf shoes on every tee off THEN, and only THEN, will I feel stupid.
@@why-even-try-brotendo You look stupid tho because he won a PGA event and a major JUST. THIS. YEAR. with his style. You know nothing.
July, 2020......... NOBODY is laughing at this guy now.
Ranked 7th. Brilliant guy. Yeah he's on to something i think.
Now he's the number 1 golfer in the world
Very progressive thinking for his own game. Nothing wrong with that, find a way that works best for you.
Maybe he can study up and research how not to take 10 minutes to study an 8’ putt (and miss it).
Sensible talk
Golf Digest needs to learn not to cross the line when filming. Film School 101.
I'll take Brooks Koepka grip and rip aproach, he is winning majors , this guy overcomplicate things for the sake of overdoing it... , youre a pro, you can hit any clubs cm on, this one swing bs science mastermind is bs
I’m not sure if you can be more hateble than this guy
He didnt come up with single length clubs unless it was 5 years before his birth.
You can take this one step further by applying the BioMatch method of club matching. You will then have the same swing for your entire set of clubs, without altering the length of your clubs.

Yeah he over complicates things for no reason
Whoa! At 5:49 he says "Me and David Adelle" thereby destroying his grammar credentials. You would never say, "Me went to the store." Too bad.
Actually, he used “we” as the subject. The objective form was only being used in a phrase to clarify the people to whom he was referring.
Me and Bobby McGee
Slow
not one mention of Moe Norman....shameful
Moe was a bum.
"Scientist"??? I don't think so.
Slow play kills golf
Also wins U.S. Opens apparently.
@@jhonnyspeed4513 He is great golfer. He is also a snail on the course. He is killing the game and boring everyone to death.
@@hugo9071 How? All televised events jump back and forth to various golfers the entire time. If you were his caddy or forced to watch him the entire time - sure.
@@jhonnyspeed4513 There are RUclips lowlights of him taking a long time to take a shot. He is a slug. Swings super fast. Plays super slow.
@@hugo9071 How is he killing the game or boring everyone to death when you have to go to youtube to watch his slow play? Is someone forcing you to search his lowlights out on RUclips? I've watched golf for 15 years, never been bothered by anyone's slow play because you don't see it on TV.
"Comes down to your body type". So I'll take some ped's and change mine. This is pre steroid Bryson
His swing is so ugly that it offends me. However, he refrains from using "was like" and uses "said" or "thought" instead. How utterly refreshing. The man can speak and does not sound like a teenager in Sherman Oaks circa 1985. He uses one "I was like" but that's progress.
