How Tony Finau's swing evolved to become one of the best in golf

Tony Finau and Boyd Summerhays have been together for nearly a decade now, and Summerhays has an iPad FILLED with proof. He and Finau dug through hundreds of swings to show Finau's progression from incredible talent into a world-beating top 10 player.
There's plenty we can learn from Finau's work, and even more we can learn from his choice in baggy shorts back in 2014.

Nice video. I've heard Tony described as one of the most well liked guys amongst his peers. I can see why. Seems like a real good guy. Congrats on a another victory.

[@StG2k]

we definitely need more videos like this in the future!

[@davidjarvi]

my best round ever, was taking 1 club more, slight choke down, using a slight lag, 70% take back

[@keunpruitt7509]

I watched a ton of professional swings and tried to mimic them and I actually became good at it. I could swing like Rory, JT, Lexi, Ben Hogan etc but Fianu swing was one that I wanted to mimic most. His swing is effortless and will provide longevity in your golf game. With his swing I had more control and consistency. Now obviously I am not on your or strike it like these guys but the feelings were there and on tape looked fairly close to the professionals. He has my favorite swing on tour no doubt. Hopefully he finds his stride because he can rack up the wins and majors in no time

Been following Tony since The Big Break. Amazing player.

[@pigs6486]

Me too, that was a LONG time ago

[@JP-jd5vz]

I want more of these types of videos.

Love watching you play, keep up the good work 👍👍

[@matm6916]

Nice lads. Respect is everything and these guys obviously hold each other in high regards

[@jothkell9173]

Very interesting, love the setup stuff

[@christopherlouismusic187]

incredible trail arm mechanics, p3-p4 is gorgeous, unique, he is also realistic with Boyd about his model, which is short of parallel, in the world of biomechanics I work in so many preach models, specifically the tiger model....but this is purely a swing of tony, arnold palmer would be proud of a player like this....and this isnt even in the same breath of John Rahm in terms of shortness, its its own thing, great work, shows that you can go from an average junior and college player to world class through tinkering, commitment, piece by piece

[@KyKicks23]

Tony just seems to be a genuine guy. Wish him all the success

[@D.WhiteJr]

Love this stuff…..I take a lot from Tony’s swing to use for myself.

[@michaelhembre9519]

Please don’t call it that

[@brentwalk13]

Great stuff!

[@jko8888]

"He's so powerful he doesn't need to use the ground"... damn!

[@andrewheather3519]

Yup..watched him Tee off on the 11th at Rivera one day. It was a chip driver swing.i followed him down and asked him, as it was just in the fairway and not many people around, how far he hit it.. he said probably around 315. He makes it look so easy

[@bruceroberts35]

Awesome👍

I am admittedly one of the better swingers of the club in my area. I have emulated many pros swings. I naturally have a lot of lag in my swing. Tony's swing has taught me that I don't need to swing 100% because the lag takes it to 120%. The legs do the work fellas and ladies. If you take it back less you can still generate the power. What we should all be looking for is the accuracy.

[@teeno684]

Congrats. My only issue now is lag. Can you explain into details how it helped you. Thanx

[@Runtberg]

@@teeno684 The lag you generate needs to be stored and dissipated at or through the point of impact. All I can say is that this shit is hard and some people make it look easy.

[@teeno684]

@@Runtberg I couldn’t agree more. I appreciate your feedback. Good luck out there. And thank you again.

[@TheBooze13]

Must not be a lot of golfers in your area

[@semmes5342]

it looks like in Tony''s back swing he uses his hands quite a bit. He doesnt have a huge shoulder turn but seems to rely on hand and wrist rotation for speed

[@RealBoredom]

i went bowling 1 time i was next to him and i talked to him :)

[@larrypruitt3919]

Let’s go Tony!

[@Landauh]

Watch out for Finau in the majors next year

[@HyperbrandedGolf]

Seem like great guys
