  • Brooks Koepka won five majors thanks to maybe the best mental game in golf. But says he thinks about “nothing” when he’s hitting a golf shot. We wanted to find out more, so Dylan Dethier joined him on the range to dig a little deeper into the mind of a champion.

      Yep, that's probably one of the smartest things he's said...imagine if someone rolled the golf ball toward you and had to hit it at the target...you would probably make a pretty decent sequenced swing...
      But...this is way easier said than done and just making it reactionary is hard af

      I disagree. The interviewer's skills and knowledge of playing the game seem very low. Brooks made the interview 'go'. So many closed ended questions could have been rephrased to open ended. Oftentimes, it seems like the interviewer is timid, mumbling, or looking down.
      Luckily, Brooks was in a conversational mood and forthcoming with insights.

    People who don’t get Brooks should watch this video. A lot of people have a misconception that he doesn’t care, but that’s not it. He’s a feel player who doesn’t get caught up in numbers and trains hard. Simple, old school. It works too.

    • @MarkSmithhhh
      @MarkSmithhhh 3 месяца назад +3

      Yep, he just doesn't get sucked into it all...he's the perfect example of what they mean when they tell players to "be an athlete" in this game...he thinks about almost nothing besides aim at target and hit....mechanical thoughts and complexity would take away his best asset (his athleticism)...it's easier said than done but something can definitely be learned from brooks, i don't think it's that h3 doesn't care, he was really down in the dumps on the Netflix show during his slump, so he clearly cares...I think he acts this way cause it keeps him grounded

    Great video. I’ve always liked Koepka’s playing style and approach to the game. It’s great to hear him discuss how he is just going with it and not so consumed with the numbers or analytics. It’s fun listening to Bryson or Phil really get into it, but listening to this was so refreshing. I walked the course with brooks when he played at Bellerive in the PGA Championship. He was so dialed in and didn’t let anything get in his head. He turns into a beast in those majors.

    I think people don’t really understand his actual game formula. I think people think he’s playing like DJ when he’s actually more like Faldo, just with more power when he needs it. Very shallow, almost thin strikes with the irons and note the comment about focus on 7 iron down. Very little curve but subtle shapes. Incredible trajectory control. Curious to see his spin numbers. The mental stuff he speaks on - people just don’t believe it but at least it’s better understood than the physical execution. Underrated scrambler and short game. Knows where to miss and misses where he should.
