This has to be my favorite video of all time. Not only does it feature the player I’m trying to emulate, but the commentary, the finite details, the graphics, and the high-quality video is phenomenal! There’s a good chance I will end up watching this video 1 million times over the next few years.

[@tylerevans369]

His swing is so pure and textbook. My favorite in the game right now. He is due for a major title very soon!

[@wadestilwell4228]

Have you watched him play the Fore Play guys??

[@tylerevans369]

@@wadestilwell4228Yes, but his match versus Bob Does Sports was better. I'm partial to the BDS guys though

LACC baby 👀

[@user-um7qz3gf7f]

Will eventually be know for struggling with the mental side.

[@YoungSandwich10]

This is the swing a majority of amateurs should emulate. No crazy movements or excessive shallowing. Its simple and effective. I hate the current trend of shallowing. tips like letting the clubhead fall behind you make we annoyed. proper backswing will not require manipulation in the downswing.

[@natewins11]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@Shawn-xb2ul]

I’m going to work on this on the range. Very simple

[@FGrecoJR]

I don't get the swallowing thing either. Why point the club outside the ball when it needs to eventually steepen to point at the ball again anyway.

[@williamv.schulz851]

Sounds like someone can’t figure out how to shallow😂 there’s a reason that’s the trend we see in the modern golf swing. Feels good when you figure it out I’ll tell you that much.

Killer swing review as always Mark

[@chippingaway-0.00]

Love this series

[@joosiequatro2063]

His swing is so smooth and good.

[@cpking7]

Great swing, so calm and effortless, and Mark Immelman as always does great job analyzing.

[@user-ym9vo3co8g]

We'd all swing like that if we could. Just a joy to watch.

[@39reii]

I could listen to Immelman talk about swing theory all day. What might be cool would be if one was done on Tiger Woods' 2000 swing. Really enjoy this series.

[@alexirving3010]

he's fantastic at it

I watched this whole video ❤

[@richardrackley2430]

What many golfers need to realize is that other player's swings are great to study, but no so great to emulate. Every golfer's body is different, therefore your swing will be different, and you need to optimize your movements so that they synchronize with your mind and biology. Is there an objectively correct swing pattern that every golfer should emulate? Maybe. However, that absolutely does not mean that you will make better progress in your game by completely rebuilding your swing to emulate a pro's, vs implementing a few small changes to optimize the swing you already have. Every case is different and you should use wisdom when putting study into practice.

[@allanhernandez25]

Could we also get a Adam Scott swing theory?

[@tonybytheway7543]

Great swing, so simple. Hard to imagine him hitting a bad shot

[@eddycangolf]

Insane that his apex on driver is only 90Ft with 175+mph ball speed, while most long hitters are around the 140-160Ft apex.

[@eddbenson7223]

Yeah, I bet his spin rate is higher, too. IMO, it makes me think he could strike the ball further if he hit it higher with less spin.

[@eddycangolf]

@@eddbenson7223 I don't think it's as much spin as it is launch. My thought is he does this on purpose to keep the ball in play. Anything 175+mph ball speed on the PGA tour is enough to compete with the best. Especially with the firm and fast conditions, they play on a week-to-week basis.

[@LedMV007]

Curious about the ball placement on the fairway wood. Always thought it was played up more in the stance, where as he is in the middle. Is this preference or for a certain shot shape?

[@ColinHoernig]

Keeping it closer to the middle of his stance allows it to be hit earlier in the downswing, so less dynamic loft, keeping the ball lower at impact. This is a good way to hit stingers or fairway finders when it’s windy or you want to play a safer shot that doesn’t balloon up as much.

[@johnbennett1162]

Amateurs are typically bad about trying to help the ball up and adding loft at impact and/or controlling low point. If you want to know why ams can’t hit 3 wood off the deck, it’s because of bad advice of forward ball position and hitting like a driver. Move ball back and imagine low point just in front of the ball if you want to flush 3 woods off the deck.

[@bvokey8842]

More toward the middle sounds to me like it’s going to be a thin shot, low trajectory, maybe due to wind conditions?

[@CrispyGFX]

Homa 😍😍😍

Webb simpson has to get his act together for 2025 Ryder cup!

[@isaacjohnstongolf]

This is how you teach someone to swing a golf club right here

[@joshuahanson8543]

Am I seeing right? Does he play a ten finger grip? No interlock or overlap?

[@paragrog]

I think he overlaps, but not interlocks

[@joshuahanson8543]

Not as far as I can see in this video. If anything you could say it looks like maybe he quarter overlaps, but you can see his left index finger is clearly not covered by his right pinky. I’ve ten finger gripped my whole life and always wondered which guys on tour are making it work for them. It’s reassuring to see!

[@joshuahanson8543]

I figured it out! He rests his right pinky between/on top of the left index and right ring. I’ve never thought to try this, but to me it feels great! 👍

[@amichaels-v3]

4th time, even better!

[@mattaue]

Am I the only one wishing he would start going through their putting as well?

All the best... most natural golfers...do not have a clue what immelman is talking about.

I’m gonna watch this daily until I can replicate this just 20%. I think I might still be here a while though! Textbook.

[@loganmcgee18]

4:51 His left hand 'v' is not pointing that way... 5:55 His pressure is definitely onto his left foot as you can see his transition has already begun... 6:35 His arm is clearly bent...

[@gasperstarina9837]

PGA commentators suggest you don't get to be too cute with "fairway metal" atleast stick with "metal-wood" or let it be wood. Because if you are so want to be prexise then tell for every player has he "fairway metal", "fairway carbon", "fairway titanium".... Titanium is metal but Carbon is not, i hope you don't get too cute it will backfire...The it can get so far you will say 7 tungsten/iron 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️?

One shot player, probably not win a major, but love to be his manager
