How Butch Is Changing Rickie Fowler's Swing

Today's publish is extra about mastering via seeing. Rickie Fowler's paintings with Butch Harmon has truly shown some significant development, in particular in the majors. Here's a video from PGA teacher Matt Holman outlining the differences among Rickie's 2011 swing and his 2014 swing.

The video is self-explanatory so I won't reproduction what Matt says. But what Butch has been commonly seeking to do is get Rickie's swing on extra of a neutral plane -- it became very flat earlier than -- and remove loads of the extra movement he at the start had. The first half of the video explains the unique swing shown at the right; the relaxation of the video explains the modifications on the left.

The traces Matt draws showing the differences in in which Rickie's hands are on the top of his backswing now might also certainly assist a number of you learn to maintain your hands "in the front of you."

This video turned into uploaded in March, earlier than Rickie began playing so well within the majors. When Matt says he predicted these modifications to make a big distinction in Rickie's play going ahead, he did not know how right he became!

Rickie said the awful shots he hit coming down the stretch in the third round have been the end result of the vintage conduct sneaking again in. Tim Rosaforte told GC that Rickie had already been on the cellphone with Butch to try and discern out the way to keep them from coming again. It need to be interesting to peer if Rickie can trap Rory again nowadays and perhaps even sneak beyond him for his first most important.

After all, it is how Rickie got his different expert wins!
