Only thing noticeable in his swing comparison was an earlier wrist hinge. Other than that, his swing tempo is the same, because he reaches the top at the same time and impact at the same time.
Short game and putting is where scratch competes with a tour pro best. You’re wrong. Everyone knows it is 150 and in that separates a tour pro over scratch immensely
if he dedicated full time to this and really practiced 150yd in, he could probably do it. The man is a machine and a has the mind for competitive sports
If he cant do it, then who can? Hes an all-time great shooter. He understands power and distance control better than anyone, and he has the mentality to be a great athlete, obviously. Seriously, if he can't, then who can? And clearly, people can, that's why we have the PGA tour
Maybe if he started as a child and devoted himself to golf. It is like saying could Scottie Scheffler play for Real Madrid if he seriously took up soccer now. Completely ridiculous.
I played on the pro golf tour in Europe. there so many better swings than some pga tour guys, yet a lot of the players shoot ridiculously high over par. the swing isn't everything, its about getting the ball into the hole with fewest strokes....
Thank you! I was a plus 2 player, do only good golfers understand this? It makes no difference what your swing looks like. Can you shoot 62? Thats all that matters.
No, and I'm not saying this because we all realize he is a great athlete. Golf is unlike any other sport. There are so many aspects of this game. There are countless guys that can shoot 67-71 all day long. These same guys don't make it through Q school. You have to play 4 days straight and make birdies and eagles. Senior tour, maybe. PGA tour, no.
Apparently people think it's easy to be a pro these days? If steph quit everything, including marriage and fatherhood and devoted himself to the game, it is still unlikely that he would make it on tour. Being scratch or even a plus 1 on common courses is not even close to what you need on ANY worldwide tour, not the korn ferry, not the latin, not the asian, and honestly probably not the LPGA. Y'all are dreaming
I concur with you to an extent. The caveat being Steph has all the time tools and resources available to him. In no way am i saying it would be easy but having deep pockets and resources helps tremendously. Maybe Korn Ferry.
@@jamescheek1833 I think if he made the cut on a Korn ferry event it would be a Deion Sanders or Bo Jackson level accomplishment, maybe even more impressive.
Tony romo tried and couldnt stephs a good golfer but maybe he should aim for The senior tour and Even thats a far stretch. These pros are absolute sticks now and have so much experience.
There's no such thing as a "tour level swing". There are players with insanely different swings. There are guys with perfect looking swings that couldn't sniff being on tour and there's a guy like Scottie Schefflera who has a ridiculous looking swing who's on an all time great run right now. The only question is could he play on tour and the answer is... no. Not even close. He has a a good swing for sure but ridic to compare to tour players. Would be like comparing some rec league hooper who has a nice jump shot and being like "does he have a NBA league level jumper?"
Plenty of guys shoot better than some NBA players but aren't good enough to be in the NBA, not sure what your point is. They're literally comparing Curry's swing to a vast database of "Tour level swings" and h is metrics do compare favorably to them. Hence, he is swinging much closer to tour-level than some 30 handicap hack 🤷🏻 In his current state, no. He's not anywhere near being able to compete on a pro level, but if he dedicated all his time there's no reason why he couldn't get to a level where he could do alright
@@eswag153 if by play for fun you mean get lessons with the best coaches in the world and play the best courses in the world regularly lol and he’s a scratch golfer. Very good amateur golfer but the difference between scratch and being able to make it on tour is like an average high school varsity starter and an nba player
@tylersouthcott3359 dude he 100% could. The same fire that got him in tbe NBA would get him to top tour level if he dedicated all his time too it. There's no way he can't. If he can't do it literally no one can and clearly people can
He’s a very skilled golfer. He’s afforded himself the opportunity to have the best coaches and club-builders in the world look at his swing because he’s the greatest shooter ever in a completely different sport. He would not be competitive against average KFT players in competition let alone compete on the PGAT. No hate I am a huge Steph fan. He has a great swing, a great golf game and he’s a generational basketball player (arguably the best PG all time with magic) but let’s keep things in perspective
In the 3D graphic. 0:39 The chin cuts into the shoulder. So clearly the scale an dimension are off, which really makes me doubt the accuracy of the whole motion capture demo. Well done guys you suck… curry deserves better. We deserve better…. Do better
THIS IS SILLY! I was a plus 2 player, so I can speak to this...I am a golf expert. I will tell you, anyone who is unsure about this, that great golfers come in all shapes and sizes and swing shapes. Yes there are certain positions that all great golfers get the club into but there are a milliondifferent ways to get there. The only thing that matters in the end is can you get the ball in the hole in fewer shots than the next guy. Also, swing is important but also and probably even more important to playing golf at an elite level is putting and wedge play. I CAN ANSWER THIS QUESTION ABOUT IF CURRY IS GOOD ENOUGH TO PLAY ON TOUR. DOES HE HAVE A BETTER THAN PLUS 6 HANDICAP? IF SO, THEN HE HAS A SHOT. IF NOT THEN NO. THATS IT. THATS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. YOU DONT EVEN NEED TO SEE HIM SWING. SORRY, THIS VIDEO IS COMPLETE BS AND 100% MEANINGLESS.
No he is not good enough to play on your , korn ferry or even d1 collegiate golf. Nobody knows how hard it is and how good you have to be. My friend is pro and played d1 and went o Latin America tour and Canada tour. I have seen how good you need to be. He is no where close to
Yeah he's a good golfer. But the PGA and the Senior PGA is not a place for him. Pro GOLFERS know how to keep their mouths shut about things they don't understand. I hope the PGA stays that way. We really don't need any more pro athletes or celebrities chiming in on politics. DO WHAT YOU DO !
Why does anyone care about Steph Curry. I guess this analysis would say Jim Furyk, John Rahm, and Scottie Scheffler don’t have tour quality swings. I love it when so called “expert” who can’t break par try to analyze other people’s swing and expect everyone to be perfect - whatever that is.
Let's be real: genetic gifts are required to play in the NBA. Not so much for golf/PGA Tour. Practically anyone can play golf and go pro if they start young enough and take it seriously. The same can't be said for making it into the NBA.
@@jr23640 That is simply not true. Everyone on tour is gifted with insane levels of hand eye coordination. Tour pros are born and not made. Same as in every other sport.
You're just jealous of the man. I am too. But yes he could and you know it. You just don't like that you can't/ don't have the time and money like he does. Just admit it. I'll admit it that's why I am jealous. But he definitely could
@@bobbybushwhackernot a curry fan, but if it was any sport it’d be golf. Very finesse & practice-oriented like basketball. But there are so many levels to golf. Korn Ferry guys are just so good compared to everybody’s club champion. I don’t think Curry could be on the PGA tour now. If he had started on this path at 20, maybe.
@@bobbybushwhacker not really. I average 16 days off per month doing a job I love, make $400k, and play all the golf I want. Steph would absolutely wax me in golf at my 5 index and is obviously richer, but I’m hardly jealous of him. My state champion plus handicap buddies in turn would wax him on the course.
@@bobbybushwhacker there are so many +1's out there just like steph, and just like him they aren't even close to tour level. Not that he sucks, but they are that good.
Come on. Played with Steph (I am a 4.6 HCP) and beat him by 7 strokes. All the sports/celebs claim to be a 2 or 3 or 1.5 HCP and they can't play except on these easy, wide open courses to get their HCP. Stop it.
We're all dying for the David Goldstein video to finally drop. I heard that guy beat NBA legend Steph Curry in golf one time. By 7 shots no less! I also heard he once got Shania Twain to eat 1.5 sandwiches of chicken salad. Shania hates Mayo! What a legend that David Goldstein. Please don't keep us waiting Golf Digest.
@@HA-eb8ux I mean he could be a troll but he also could be telling the truth. There are hundreds of "normal" people that probably played with Steph. Why cant this guy be one of them? Also what he said about those easy courses is completely true.
Hes a big name. He gets views. How many basketball guys at his age play golf and really try to learn it? Let the golf world enjoy. If u think its strange then thats ur view.
Definitely an elite athlete on all levels
Yes he is a fantastic athlete but elite coaches on all levels to improve this fast at golf.
Under Armor going to need to make him some custom golf shoes now.
He got that already
already did. some curry basketball shoes were turned into golf shoes too (like what the Jordan brand did with the air jordans)
They do, I own them

@@drewjitsuhow do you like them?
Only thing noticeable in his swing comparison was an earlier wrist hinge. Other than that, his swing tempo is the same, because he reaches the top at the same time and impact at the same time.
Better rotation in hips only think i really notice.
Full swing is nice, but short game and putting are where the Tour pros make their scores.
100 yards in is where most players lose the strokes. And the consistency of a pro is insane.
This is statistically false approach play is the most important followed by driving
Short game and putting is where scratch competes with a tour pro best. You’re wrong. Everyone knows it is 150 and in that separates a tour pro over scratch immensely
the club droop makes sense - i have the same issue with my longer irons, unless i swing intentionally slower
if he dedicated full time to this and really practiced 150yd in, he could probably do it. The man is a machine and a has the mind for competitive sports
This was amazing
That Joaquin Niemann shoutout, Steph knows his golf
If he cant do it, then who can? Hes an all-time great shooter. He understands power and distance control better than anyone, and he has the mentality to be a great athlete, obviously. Seriously, if he can't, then who can? And clearly, people can, that's why we have the PGA tour

Bro he does this part time! Dont disrespect the athlete. I think he made the cut on the cornferry!

Ridiculous.
Athletic ability, dedication and desire definitively could make it happen 👍
Super smooth swing
Maybe he could if he devote to it full time.
his warriors days are pretty much done anyway and new superstars are rising in the nba. this would be a perfect sport for him!
No

You can tell the man is a perfectionist and is a master of repetition - Wouldn't be surprised to see him on the tour when he retires.

@@daviddicara991 exactly, and Steph is a good player but he would get eaten alive in amateur events like the US Am and Elite am series
He should see how he stacks up against elite amateur competition. Try to play in the mid-am, US Am, western am.

Feel more bow soft hands at the top to shallow better and speed. His right hand looks cupped at the top. Watch Xander
