Team Spieth: Swing sequence
The 22-year-old isn’t technically perfect but he’s matched up his idiosyncrasies to build a highly effective action.
1. His hard work in the gym is evident in his physique and athletic posture, especially the angle of his lower back. |
2. It’s a good one-piece takeaway but the clubface is slightly closed as the shaft reaches parallel. |
3. The shaft is on plane and you can see the deep interlocking grip that contributes to the closed face. |
4. The club used to be more across the line when he hit a stronger draw shape but he’s on plane here. |
5. He’s cleared quite a long way with his lower body at this point to hold the clubface square into impact. |
6. Matching his body’s movement to his slightly strong face has enabled him to get the club square at impact. |
7. The left arm bending here is an example of an unusual movement that helps him square the club. |
8. He’s fantastically balanced and all his weight has transferred to the outside of his left foot. |
