A couple of weeks back during a CBS golf broadcast, Peter Kostis compared Bubba Watson's swing to that of Jack Nicklaus. Fortunately, Golf Magazine asked Peter to put his comparison in writing for them.
On the CBS broadcast, they flipped a video of Jack's swing so he become left-surpassed and ran the 2 side-through-facet. That video is included with the object and additionally to be had through YouTube. I'm also embedding it here:
One interesting thing Peter said that he reiterated again during GC's coverage of the Greenbrier is this: "By the way, I’ll never be able to figure out why keeping the left heel on the ground became a “fundamental” of modern instruction. It’s a back injury waiting to happen."
One other thing he said is this: "Let’s face it: There really isn’t anything new in golf -- just different wrapping paper on the same gift." I sometimes hear complaints that I don't teach anything new, just the same old fundamentals over and over. The reason is because we golfers continue to look for some silver bullet, some magic key that will turn us into experts overnight. But the only secret is in mastering the fundamentals -- both in knowing what to do and why to do it -- and that's what transforms our games.
It's simply that on occasion those fundamentals appearance a bit specific whilst one of a kind players figure out how to use them to their best benefit. Just take a look at Bubba and Jack.
Peter Kostis has extra to mention in that article about the 2 swings and additionally approximately how we learn to play golfing. It's nicely-well worth taking some moments to study it.
