I know a lot of you -- like me -- have been watching James Hahn for quite a while, even though he hadn't won on the big tour until this past weekend. But since he won, Golf Digest decided to post a brief analysis of his swing here. I'm posting the video below.
To be honest, his ordinary swing doesn't look that unique from every person else's -- no longer even that little drop move at the pinnacle of his downswing. The one issue I would factor out is maximum seen in the face-on view, although you'll ought to watch carefully to trap it.
I want you to look at his waggle. Most weekend players think a waggle is a big movement in which the club traces part of the backswing. Not so! James actually wiggles his backside just a bit with the club head sitting on the ground behind the ball, then he moves the club head vertically up and down a few times -- not a big movement, but enough that you can see it in the video. When he starts back, the bottom of the club head is actually near the equator of the ball, then he lowers it as he swings back.
My point is that you do not need to do some thing huge to start your backswing. As lengthy as you have some sort of motion to preserve you from "freezing" over the ball you will discover it simpler to get a smoother, greater relaxed takeaway.
You may be positive that little bit of movement helped James make better swings while he was putting Paul Casey and DJ away for the duration of the playoff. It's a terrific remedy for anxiety and nervousness whilst you're standing over the ball.
