Phil swing analysis

Eyeoffish · 01-31-2010, 01:23 PM

It is quite funny. Faldo thinks it all down to his left knee going out towards the ball. Chamblee thinks his thumbs are not under the shaft enough.
Harmon is not talking.

I really have no clue but I find it humorous how people can pick out one particular detail and deem it the cause of anything. Maybe it is an effect?

Yes, but that is somewhat entertaining for the general tv viewer who the commentary is targeting.

The truth? Well that's is a different thing entirely. I know Faldo has a Golf Academy, but has he ever given a lesson in his life? What about Chamblee also?

I am a Phil fan, but I did laugh about all the fan fair about how they flew Butch in to save the day and Phil hit it worse.

What a joke on TV.

"Look how he keeps his spine angle."

"Look at the width."

"Look at the excellent angle between his lead arm and the shaft."

JUNK.

They have the damn "shot tracer," take a stab a why the ball went were.

JEEZ...

I am a big Phil fan too. I could see the look on his face after the first hole.
It was that "Oh Cr@p" look I have experienced a number of times when I did not have a clue where it was going to go. Butch must have been hiding somewhere.

The first time Faldo was talking about the left knee, he used two VERY different camera angles to try and prove his point.

Didn't see the analysis, but interested to know about his left knee. Were they talking about the way it kind of bags through the ball? I do this a bit as well and have always wondered why.

Did they have a point on this or is this the point of this (if that makes sense)?

Butch was at the PGA Show trying to convince the sheeple that he uses a Medicus Training Aid with a clubhead the size of a VW Beetle "every" day on the lesson tee! The thing looked like a club with elephantitis. The junk ideas you see down there always amaze me!

I think his swing looks great. The one thing he does no matter how short and tight his backswing gets is back the hips up a little and ride the handle high, making the face late or close rapidly. The excessive "gather the marbles" finish curbs the thought of this with the irons but not with the driver. He'll still miss it both ways.

Sorry Kevin, but can you explain a couple of things there; 'back the hips up a little' and 'ride the handle high'.
