John Daly’s swing in slow motion (every angle)

[@nicksellens272]

the distance he takes that club back is phenomenal. And he still gets the face square. Respect to you Mr Daly.

[@masi4579]

How do you get to that level ?

[@timbucker]

It's all about the rhythm. Just say oooonnnnneeee on the backswing and tttttwwwwooo at impact until the club stops at the very end.

[@jasonstewart9919]

Watching this just confirms to me he is one of, if not THE, most naturally talented golfer ever. That swing is so unique - as many have pointed out it’s so “anti-textbook” - almost no “recommended” positions throughout the entire swing - and yet it won multiple majors and tournaments around the world. All on a fraction of the practice and preparation of his contemporaries. He’s an absolute friggin genius.

[@ironsideeve2955]

He swings according to his body makeup, thats it lol

[@themozzo]

Dude is the epitome of a catapult leveraged swing regardless of his body type and "over swing". He swings through like he's hitting over the top but it's not. 😂 He wild 🎉🎉🎉

[@superbahmindcontrollers179]

you can tell in slow motion. the power in his swing comes from a huge shoulder turn. the transition is a pulling of the left shoulder towards the target. It really looks very graceful, in slow motion.

His swing is a series of “so-called-bad-moves.” Yet, he plays better than 99.999% of golfers out there. Amazing and inspirational at the same time

[@Smoothboxnailer]

How can you not love this guy? And a beast of a swing! Driver in slow mo looks like he's swinging a rope he's got so much power! God bless John Daley!

[@outlander234]

I think it looks beautiful. All that unwinding reminds me of Ben Hogan, long back swing ftw!

[@KyleKnoblauch]

I think the most impressive part of his swing is the fact that it hasn't changed at all as he's "bulked up" 😎/gotten older. It's still just as iconic now as it was in 1991

[@bobsanders8030]

The man knows his own swing. Fantastic video.

I love his swing. John was the only player back in the 90s to average over 300 yard drives. Today the average is still below that. His short game was amazing too back then.

[@Maruman_man]

His backswing is so long, he has plenty of time to unwind that hip-turn, amazing that he has control.

[@craigluhr7243]

Everyone talks about how far JD hit the ball. What made JD a great golfer was his incredible touch in his short game.

[@cjmickinak]

I love watching his swing

[@matthewlemon9282]

Truly a work of art both the swing and the editing complication. Everyone mentions the unique back swing and coil, but i think its the low and left throw release coupled with incredible turn that allowed him to be a great. Post impact actually looks alot like DJ or David Duval back in the day.

[@snoopyssnowconesmore348]

His hips and knees doing the Elvis shuffle are a thing of beauty. So much power generated and face club square with his right elbow tucked in nicely on the downswing.

[@merchwidecreative1778]

you guys are starting to have better content than the PGA tour! Thorough editing job!

[@RonnieStanley-tc6vi]

Seeing his swing in slo-mo makes sense to me now. His belly quickly jerks back. Then, he starts his swing. His belly follows the swing by mere milliseconds! The amount of force his belly adds is amazing! I bet his swing would suffer if he went on a diet.

[@kasper1241]

Flat take away. Across the line on the top of back swing. But perfect impact position. John Daly is doing what works for him instead of chasing "the perfect swing". I have so much respect for that. People think his swing is long, but for him it's normal. It's all about timing. If you made his swing shorter it would completely mess up his timing and it would actually make his swing less controllable for him. It's like Montgomery always says: "Take time to complete your swing". And John's swing is not completed until it reaches the final position. That's just how it is.

[@joeporter4920]

his head stays put. pretty amazing.

[@tr1ckster726]

The release at the end of his swing is perfect.

[@crims1er327]

I'm a complete novice still learning to hit the club face centre when swinging, so I'm picking up on what I see from how I swing. I've noticed his stance allows him to keep completely balanced and rotate around by dropping his left knee. Once he's ready to rip it, he stamps his heel to create balance and the rotation is in motion. On top of allowing so much room to rotate, it's simply incredibly how his timing is from backswing to clubface... (timing of hip, back leg rotation, release). After breaking it down like that I can understand where the statement "grip it and rip it" came from. I could be very off, but based from what I've learned, this is an incredible masterclass nonetheless.

[@andomagic1831]

John just happy Gilmores it every time , every thing he has exact same swing, it’s beautiful, he knows when it hits the ball its perfect, one in a million human , wow!

[@diminishedreturn]

Facinating to watch, in many ways. But don't confuse a flying right elbow and a folding left arm with flexibility or above average backswing turn.

[@bendaniel356]

He does fold his left arm a bit at the top, but his torso is already rotated about 120 degrees at that point... But you are right that he's using a flying elbow and bend in his left arm to keep the club going back while the rest of his body is starting the downswing.

[@daveanything]

despite the distraction of those pants, he still has a beautiful swing. so consistent no matter his weight

[@TomH001]

It takes so much coordination to swing so far back and still hit it so solid, his big secret is that his arms basically slow down and let the club whip trough , even Tiger said John had more raw talent than he ever had ..

[@oliverizzard8751]

If you have his hip mobility the club falls right back in the slot no matter how far you go. He keeps his head remarkably still and stays very centered throughout the swing.
