This is interesting... both Golf Magazine and Golf Digest chose to do articles about Phil Mickelson's swing, focusing on his driver. What makes it really interesting is that each magazine focused on a different section of Phil's swing!
For example, golfdigest.Com did a swing collection slide show but the top a part of Phil's swing -- the trade of direction and starting of the downswing -- is conspicuously missing.
They speak about his comfortable setup, extensive takeaway, and extension via the ball at effect -- all factors typically associated with a classic swing. Phil creates his membership head velocity with the period of his swing and his comfortable, balanced motion.
But over at golfing.Com Johnny Miller specializes in the issues Phil regularly faces at the pinnacle of his swing. Johnny speaks approximately two one of a kind problems:
- His swing sometimes gets too long, with the club shaft pointed down toward the ground.
- His hands and the shaft get too close to his shoulder as he changes directions, which creates a lot of wrist cock but makes it harder to square the club face.
Putting the two collectively, you end up with a long comfortable motive force swing that forestalls a bit short of parallel at the top and keeps the arms away from the trailing shoulder at some stage in the alternate of direction and begin of the downswing. And sure, it is a great deal less complicated to maintain your arms "as a ways away from your shoulders on the pinnacle as practical" if you make a protracted relaxed swing. It appears that Butch is always looking to get Phil to shorten his swing just a piece... And while he does, he always drives it lots better.
These two articles give you a quite thorough study both the coolest and the horrific of Phil's using. If you take a touch time to examine them and study the photos (and in Johnny's case, watch the video), you simply may find something you may use to assist enhance your own using.
