This two players are good examples for two different swing styles. VJ had a weight shift to left leg and turn the left leg/pelvis/abdomen to create needed active power. Fred just backed off the left hip while kept the body weight on the right side to drive. We can compare the relationship between the wrists and the right side belly at downswing.
That was when Tiger was predominantly working on his stinger shot. And Phil was also using driver less. But Vijay stayed pounding the driver and really capitalized on that. I’m surprised he didn’t win more majors but I guess putting is just as if not more important than ballstriking lol
VJ is a big human being! One thing i noticed is with Fred it seems he keeps his weight on his right heel. Almost kind of leaning back on it. It looks like it anyway.
I didn’t like VJ back when he took #1 from tiger because I was a dumb kid, A Tiger fan and also thought of him as a cheater but have grown to like him. I see many similarities in my own swing with his and wonder if it has anything to do with similar injuries. When I was a teenager I hurt my lower back snowboarding and I know he’s withdrawn from tournaments from a bad back. Especially with driver, trying to get my lead hip excessively cleared like many modern instructors preach does nothing but cause me pain, on the flip side with slight early extension and maintaining a relatively level head causes zero pain in my back no matter how much I play. Ive hit multiple millions of golf balls being obsessed with this game since I was 5 or 6, most of my youth into my mid 20’s I was hitting balls from sun up well into the night when I couldn’t even see where they were going then going home and practing indoors even more until I fell asleep watching the golf channel. I still play/practice a lot and only when heavily clearing my lead hip, getting lots of side bend does my back flair up. Guys like VJ, Nicklaus, Justin Thomas, Scotty sheffler, Louis Oosthuizen, and many more all have a similar move with their pelvis. I’ve always been fairly long and an extremely good ball striker, slight miss hits are bad shots for me and GIR/irons have always been the strongest part of my game, especially while playing on mini tours and well practiced I was a ball striking machine hitting any shot on command. I think way to much emphasis these days is put on everyone making exactly the same move through the ball and a guy like Nicklaus for example would have a plethora of things changed, he’d be told he’d never play well with early extension, a flying elbow, etc and probably never actually play to his full potential because of it. Every “body” is built differently and trying to make everyone’s swings identical in my opinion has become one of the worst trends in the modern game and undoubtedly has ruined many of swings. Also watching VJ and Tiger go head to head in Boston 2006 was such a great weekend at TPC Boston. I was 16 running around the place with my buddy , he was #2 and I was #1 on our high school golf team. I won my 1st state championship that year as well which was a sweat bonus after coming in2nd, 3rd then 2nd again the 3 years before. Great year 😂
It’s interesting, Vijay’s right hand comes almost completely off the club through impact. It reattaches during the follow through. Never seen anyone do that.
@@Ben77788 Vijah has an outside take away and contacts the ball to the inside (high fade). That move he does with his hands allows him to hold a very steep angle as long as he possibly can to hit that fade. Guys who draw the ball like Kenny Perry, hold onto the shaft longer and turn the hands over to get the ball to spin the other way
@@tempelronkane4839 It allows u to maintain the club angle at impact longer. For us normal people who can't bend our bodies like Tiger or Rory, this is a good swing to learn. Especially if u wanna fade the ball
Wow! Vijay looks in great shape at 57.
2 legends! 1992 and 2000 Masters Tournament Champions
I like VJ’s automatic tee baller. I should get one of those
For about $150,000 you can
That does not surprise me. Heard he has caddies stand forever on the range with him.
Fred has one as well. $100 a week and the guy lives in his car 🤪😃😂.
pampered golfers
I thought this was serious, then I saw the video 😂
Freddie is still just as smooth as butter. Boom Boom. It's a toss up between him and Ernie Els for the smoothest most powerful swing in golf.
Freddie has the smoothest swing, shows no effort until he hits the ball
This two players are good examples for two different swing styles.

beautiful driving range!
I can't tell who's smoother. They're both butter.
It would be cool to see a side by side swing comparison between present day Fred Couples vs present day Bryson DeChambeu
Boom boom still swinging it smoove albeit around his new champion’s tour paunch.
Please show more of this!!!
vijay the only guy to really took the fight on tiger and dethroned him off that world no 1 spot .

@@eliyates1691 😂
To be fair, David Duval also took the fight to Tiger between 1997 and 2001 or so. Had the #1 spot for 15 weeks in 1999
@@euan1234 I remember duval basically being his rival (I was maybe 11), but also that tiger always beat him
@@kakimotoK20 yes, true!
Freddie swings a driver like he's trying to hit an 80-yard drive. Instead, he is hitting a 290-yard driver.

You just know Fred is wondering why somebody isn’t teeing his ball up too.
I'm over here thinking I need to hit the range guy
VJ has always been silky smooth
Looks like they're hitting it 250-260 yards
smooth swings and the shakiest camera action ever.
Legends!
What a great way to earn your living. Wish my dad forced a golf club in my hands when I was under 5.
Wouldn’t have mattered you’d still be an Insurance agent
Why is Vijay sticking the umbrella in the ground?
It's good luck to stick umbrellas outdoors .
Possibly stop his path coming to far from the inside, trying to promote a fade
Beautiful
Nobody works harder than Vijay
Very similar tempo
I take it Freddie didnt like the SIM Driver, looks like he rolled back..
Looks like Freddy gained a few😃

I’ll take Fred’s swing over Vijay’s any day….and I love Vijay’s too so that’s saying something
Freddy is preggers lol
With a food baby
Hey I’d like some gum too
Me too
Vijay can't be bothered to tee his ball himself, huh?
Hold up ! You not supposed to swing as fast as you can
Singh has the best hand position at the top
It’s interesting, Vijay’s right hand comes almost completely off the club through impact. It reattaches during the follow through. Never seen anyone do that.

These guys should really work on their tempo.
Taste of the bacon
Legends🏌🏌
And VJ needs someone to tee his ball up🤔
That’s called big $$$$$$$$$
