i just noticed after watching him swing for years, these slow motion follow throughs his right index and thumb come off the grip everytime .interesting. Thanks for sharing
Good eye
Best 10 minutes of my life
Absolutely amazing golf swing! I could watch it all day long. So inspiring!!!
Fred Couples one of my all time golfing favourites....i love the way he stays so still up top with such an upright address...love watching Fred play he is effortless and powerful personified.
very little hip turn protecting the back, power must be from the shoulders, although there is a great weight shift
@@cynt1111 the wrap back too, with no hip movement, holding on and driving with 4 fingers on the club
I gave up the game for over 30 years (back one year now) and I re-learned as much from this one video, as all the other golf videos I've ever seen.
Had a friend tell me during our round today that I have a Freddy Couples swing. I was going for Rory, but I’ll certainly take it. Been hitting a lot of good drives so far this year.
That is the best golf video I've seen. Bravo. Fred Couples is the Adreas Pirlo of golf. Nothing's in a hurry, defines cool and smooth. He's the Sultan of rhythm and swing.
Thank god the algorithm brought this back. Watch this every time before I play
You can download it, which saves you the wait for the mighty algorithm 😉
This swing is incredibly unique in so many ways. What I notice from the slow mo is how relaxed his hands are on the club even through impact - his thumb and forefinger aren't even on the club in some of the shots! There used to be another Boom Boom video with classical music behind it and I'd watch that before playing which helped me focus on rhythm and it really helped
I noticed that too at 3:16 his right thumb completely leaves the club

I recently discovered I have similar a tendency on release so I am now trying to figure out Fred's mechanics... might knock off a few points for me
His unwind from the top is the silkiest there has ever been
@@sethromusic Not a bad way to force a relaxed swing. In tennis Pete Sampras use to do the same thing on the serve...taking off his last 2-3 fingers in the middle of the motion.
Poetry in the motion of a golf swing. And a lovely human to go with it class act.
Few golfers have an individual almost classic swing; Fred’s is a joy to watch.
for me, this is the pinnacle of golf swing. there will never be a better one. my hero
I could watch his smooth swing for hours... 💪🏽
Could watch Fred swing a club all day long, poetry in motion.
7:33 There's daylight between his right pinky and left hand just before impact!! And at impact his index and maybe one other finger or not touching... just wow, how light is his grip pressure?!? His swing is just magical and this may be part of why. And at 63, his driver ball speed is 15 mph faster than anything I can muster.
Poetry in motion for the past 50 years
Man that is truly great mechanics. The head stability . The way he activates down swing with the right hip . The release and turn over of the club head just before impact.
He & Ernie Els have the most effortless swings i have seen
Many of todays swings are hyper athletic and powerful (not a bad thing at all). Freddy's swing is so smooth and elegant by comparison and he hits the ball just as big as most of the field.....amazing and inspiring. Thanks for posting
Most graceful swing in golf. Love it more than Ben Hogan’s! 👍
All day
Indeed!
Ppl say Adam Scott has the sweetest swing in golf. I laugh at those ppl .
Languid, grooved, sequenced, relaxed yet explosively powerful. Bam Bam is da Man!
Boom boom 🏌️ 💥
Beautiful example of the slap-hinge release, the most subconscious-friendly one. Sir Henry Cotton woyld have been delighted with Fred's "flicking".
Is this the most beautiful swing ever in golf?
It’s right up there with Bobby Jones for me.
Speechless…….unbelievable TEMPO…….just watch and learn this perfect technical swing with his woods & irons. What a wonderful golfer .🎉 on top being a relax gentleman. Would dream to have a round of golf with him.
Amazing relaxed grip. His right hand is just along for the the ride.
Yes, I noticed that, at impact with an iron (5.00), the thumb and index finger of his right hand are no longer in contact with the grip. In fact it seems as though he's barely touching the grip with his right hand at that point and then reconnects a fraction of a second later.
@@pete3953 7min 40.. completely disconnected.
Yeah, I only grip with ring and middle and the index and thumb are along for the ride, but Freddie has to regrip the hand after impact
Love his rhythm and style! Love the fact Freddie doesn’t wear a glove too!
I wear one to hit range balls but not to play unless my hands get sweaty.
I love his swing too, but I've never thought that looking at his swing in slow motion is the way to go. He's all about tempo and timing. You can only see that full speed.
Agree 100% - but...slowmo is good for checking out that right elbow move. It looks like it's flying out on the backswing, but then he drops it straight down along with his hands to keep his right arm inside the left arm. It's not an easy move to make. I've tried. He's got lots of lag in that swing. That's where his mysterious power comes from.
@@rlevitta That visible uncoiling and separation of the lower body from the upper just before the club reaches the top of the backswing is the holy grail in golf. I think this is the source of his power (X-Factor as Jim M. says). That very still head is hard to achieve as well...most amateur head are moving up and away from the ball.
他站得很自然、上桿也自然、上桿到頂點有些特別、下桿是下半身要動、後屈、転開、双手下落、保持上半身制動擊球。了不起的球員、三十年前見他打球、現在還在打、真是好棒！我要常常看、多謝您分享呀
That shot at 7:40 is incredible. His right hand is so loose it’s practically coming off the club
He looks so relaxed in real time but in slow motion he has incredible flexibility
I was thinking that is amazing flexibility at the top for sure and 60 yrs old going past parallel beautiful lag
Love smooth golf swings, Couples, Els, Donald, like silk
Most beautiful swing in golf.
His grip is so light I am shocked we have never seen his club fly out of his hands into the air through impact. Amazing stuff.
Kinda makes the club look like a light piece of rope.. ?🤔
this is a really cool video in hi def slo mo. you can see exactly how everything works and his sequence of body part movements.
My dad had an effortless swing. The local pro told me it was the best swing in the club, mine used to be okay but needs work. He left me clubs and stuff when he passed, but not his swing 🤔😃 Fred is from another planet
Mount Rushmore. The Statue of Liberty. The Golden Gate Bridge. And Fred Couples' swing. All American treasures.
His swing is in slow motion. Love the tempo.
It’s not his motion so much, but his spine angle and delivery of the ball are so good. Oh Freddie, I couldn’t teach this but I can watch this 8 days a week.
Tempo and rhythm is so pure.
I told my golf instructor I wanted Freddie’s swing. He showed me a slow mo of his swing and analyzed it. He generates his power by extraordinary separation putting a lot of pressure on his back. My teacher said he could teach me that but it wouldn’t be a swing for me when I got older.
完璧なまでに全く微動だにスイング中の動かない頭はインパクトを過ぎてもキープされていてカプルスさんのお若い時からの切れの良いスイングと圧倒的な飛距離には驚くばかり。
どの番手のクラブも全く同じリズムでのスイング。もはや芸術的と言っても過言では無いと思います。年を召されても変わらないスイングに感動！素晴らしいです。
That flying elbow in his backswing looks crazy but still corrects everything on his way back to the ball somehow. So much power from a lazy swing is nuts
"Fred Couples gives cool lessons to ice cubes" - can't remember where I heard it but it applies. To be 62 and still swingin it like that tho.
Backswing is odd until shoulder level, then finishes beautifully. The downswing is PERFECTION.
Keeps his head position motionless and steady throughout, only momentum forces his head to look at the ball on his follow through. Amazing sawing!
3:01 - 3:14 it's like his head is independent of his body.
Yeah. That looks fake.
Yep....I was told years ago that it's harder to hit a moving target, and that makes perfectly good sense, so I was told to keep my head as still as I could and therefore the moving target is not moving anymore. Since then I have hit the ball so much more purer than ever.
Smooth, effortless swing... never realized he takes the club so far back
He also has a flying elbow which probably makes it easier to hit the fade he usually plays. I believe Nicklaus did as well.
Just watching makes me think of 4 things I do wrong 😂
The most beautiful swing ever imo
It's nice... But Colin Montgomerie has a more beautiful swing imo
Bobby Coles not too bad
his right hand grip pressure is so relaxed- he's practically got his hand off the grip at impact. i gotta try that
I have been trying to throw my right hand through the ball. I saw from Mike Austin. His right hand being so loose makes me think he is doing the same thing, but perfectly.
7:17 Like a God on Mount Olympus with mere mortals gazing in wonderment.
He doesn’t swing that slow on tour. 😉
I just recently discovered Fred Couples being playing golf for over a year now and this swing really shatters all the nonsense out there. Not only is he a single plane swing, as I noticed almost all older players are, he is also incredibly steep. With the driver there is absolutely no shallowing of the club and with irons only slightly. Its quite insane how he manages to get into impact position. Just goes to show how you gotta adjust your swing to your body, your rhythm and keep the basic principles of the swing.
Many guys can hit it far but, in my opinion, he's the only guy who can make it looks so easy.
Totally. Also Cameron Champ makes 350 look fairly effortless
Boom Boom
Well, Ernie Els makes it look even easier, in my opinion. He was one of the longer hitters in his time, as well.
This unique swing is and always has been a work of art. His sequencing and timing always seem so perfect, I'm surprised whenever he misses....but, even though he doesn't seem so most of the time, he is human after all.
My all time favorite golfer! Smooth swing, relaxed attitude and a gentle person (at least as a public figure).
Could watch this all day!
Look at how stretched he is right at the top of his backswing. This guy is 61 and is still as supple as a 21 year old, absolutely incredible flexibility!
Absolutely
And considering he's had career-long back trouble, his fluidity is a singular accomplishment.
Please don’t call another man supple. 🙏
His right hand fingers are almost OFF the club at impact and through. Amazing!
A work of art
a wonderful swing!
It's so beautiful that I didn't even notice he hits gloveless until I was halfway through the video.
And sockless. Man is a stud.
Had trouble all his life.
Awesome video to study his swing, but it looks soooo much smoother in real time
One of the more unique swings in golf... I love watching Freddy play he makes it look so effortless.
Few would try to teach this swing, but all covet it.
I could watch Fred all day.
Easily the best follow through ever
The best , smoothest swing ever... Boom Boom !!!
I could watch this all night, Fred the man.
Best golf video on RUclips
Perfect and unique swing
Freddy swings a golf club like a ballerino dances. And they're both at the highest level of human art.
sweetest swing as there ever was, so quiet
Mr. Casual. Awesome swing.
amazing footage!
Been hitting golf balls for two years and all I want is a swing like thisn
keep trying, you might get there.
That's the goal
No chance
The phrase "Poetry in Motion" fits Fred Couples golf swing perfectly.
The only man who can have a bent left wrist & a high right elbow in his back swing, and still control the ball the way he has for decade's.
10 mins of that swing is not enough! get vid and great music, such a rarity on youtube!!
Efficient and effortless. Still the best swing on any tour. Incredible body coil while keeping his head perfectly still.
Are you sure? I was looking for a comment like this, seems to me like he never gets shallow? Seems steep all the way if you ask me…
@@fudeuchi He takes it back steep, but as soon as he starts his hips he lags and it drops right in the slot.
His swing is therapy
Watch the way he pauses the hips and then allows his swing to do the rest of the hip work which is supporting what your entire upper body is doing. Look how steady he is through impact. The swing is a resounding 10/10. Head is on a swivel. Absolutely SLOTTED every. Single. Time. Kids, if you're watching, THIS is how you'll be able to golf into your 100s and 110s...years of age. lol
Wonderful! I could fall asleep to this. Also, had no idea how far beyond parallel he goes on his backswing.
BEAUTIFUL SWING.
Love it. Not what you would be told by most golf instructors. Super strong grip, open stance, straightens the right leg in the back swing and pushes up from the ground with his left and straightens into impact. So smooth.
Couples has the most beautiful swing I've ever witnessed I watched him play at 12 South class again Atlanta.. unreal I watched him so much that I got the tick picking up my left sleeve before I hit I couldn't stop it I was a scratch golfer but couldn't have a handle the pressure of four rounds
combine that swing with his temperment and some good putting and you have a great career. very nice.
Best swing in golf period.
Just beautiful to watch.
यह तो एक कलाकार है!! इतना आकर्षित है देखने में।
Couples - simply the best. period.
The scene at 8:56 is spectacular!
Title should read "Poetry in Motion"
What beautiful swing that I've ever seen
a plus , the best drop that
Freddie with the visor is all time.
Freddie's swing sequence as only gotten better with age. He initiates the down swing, with his lower body, better now than when he was younger!
Probably has to to protect his back. With a swing that smooth & fluid, it's hard to believe his back issue is from golf, but the human body wasn't designed for golf given the twisting & simultaneous turning of the spine.
Great video. Thanks!
這片有開球木桿13次、球道木桿5次、鐵桿14、值得一看再看、謝謝您的分享
One fascinating fact is his loose grip of the right hand at and right after impact.
The best swing in golf.
Look at his right hand cross over his left after impact. His hands at the finish are a mirror image in reverse of his hands at the top of the backswing. Mike Austin comes to mind.
Love his swing more than anyone.
I notice his backswing is much higher than most pros
Awesome video, look how still his head is every time.
Even his smile looked relaxed and not forced.
