Golf legend
I can see the analytics guys wincing
Club head speed
The king 🙏
Yet another legendary player who brought the club “to far inside” according to many instructors. I’ve fixed many of peoples slices showing them a flatter, more inside backswing. it’s much easier for most to bring it slightly inside and keep it there that struggle with a slice, as appose to a higher hand position at the top that requires a dropping to the inside move in order to square your swing path with your club face. If you watch any of tigers swings, he comes back and through on the same plain, there’s no drop to the inside, there’s a forward move that shifts everything towards the target all great players had, but more great players had the same plain or a slightly over the top of their backswings plain. Tiger, hogan, Palmer, Nicholas’s, Craig Saddler, Gary player, Payne Stewart, etc. the list goes on and on. In fact, there are only a handful of great players that dropped noticeably inside of their backswing plain I can think of, Furyk, Sergio,… Rory ever so slightly, almost the same plain. Adam Scott, basically the same back and through plain. Matching your backswing plain to your desired shot shape is very simple and effective. A Higher, steeper backswing will produce cuts and a flatter, more around yourself to the inside backswing will produce draws, no manipulation required or dropping/looping the club at all.
The Undisputed Master, Off Legendary Golf
The Umbrella Man!!
Not exactly a thing of beauty but sure did love watching him play!
Trash
Wish I could swing crazy
Usual and powerful but it worked for him. Chi Chi's impersonation is spot on and hilarious. It's worth looking up.
Simply put, he was my hero as a youngster
Had like a weird tick at the end of most of those swings.
Awesome post 👍🏌🏾♂️
Those self indulgent, TV talking heads know exactly how to demonstrate how wrong this swing, stance, grip, follow-through etc was.
Yet THEY are the ones in the studio while the golfers they criticise are on the course earning millions.
It doesn't make any sense — and neither do these boring time wasters.
What a hacker! 😆
Sawed off finish sort of like Tommy Fleetwood
Mental haha what a man
Boy…back when golf was nice and quiet. None of that silly shouting.
he looks bigger than Bryson in some of those shots.
He also putted the same way. 😍
Arnold Roidner.
Unbelievable club head speed, imagine that with today’s technology..
Played quite well despite trying to keep his head down and still. Quite an achievement really. Shame about the flawed instruction back then.
Crazy how he’s named after the half and half iced tea lemonade
When I type in Arnold Palmer in my emoji search, the drink comes up!🍹😃
Looked like a shanker
I understand why Hogan didn’t like him
What an icon swing!
The sound of that driver strike is the grail
Not very pretty but effective
Arny’s follow through, footwork and facial expressions were unique to the King but the story of the shot was universally understood to anyone watching before it ever landed.
This is exactly why I’m a fan of the “swing your swing” mindset
Borderline mockery to orthodox.
