The Secret To Max Homa's Silky Swing | Film Study | Golf Digest

Max Homa has one of the best swings in the game but for a long time, it had a very specific flaw. After pairing up with Golf Digest's No.1-ranked teacher, Mark Blackburn, he was able to identify the reason for the flaw and unlock Max's true potential. In this Film Study, our very own Luke Kerr-Dineen explains what the pair found and how it led Homa to become one of the game's elite ball-strikers.

One of the cleanest swings on tour

[@amichaels-v3]

I love Max's swing, this was fun to watch.

[@samuelchoisamchoi714]

These videos are soo good! Thanks, Luke!

[@axzgolf]

Beautiful, well controlled swing!

[@yourinthebushes63]

I'd love to see one of these on Jake Knapp. He's got my dream swing 👌

[@5bLucky]

I love his swing and the way he walks!!

[@wastedbread8036]

cool video, i like his swing

[@teakanji9864]

Cool video.

[@georgemohamed23]

What about his putting. Arguably best on the PGA tour at the moment. That’s what’s making him even better.

[@owena8135]

he makes it look so easy

[@DocAMoya]

That comparison at 5:40 is comparing a long iron to a wedge.

[@traceandersonmusic]

When is Valhalla hole by hole dropping?

[@Longarmshortarm]

So, - more upper body tilt - swing around that tilt

[@jadesmith6823]

Compact and pure 🙌

[@caseypearce9078]

4:04 am I the only one that doesn't actually see the early extension here? He is staying on the "pane of glass" at least until impact.

My GOAT

[@edj9961]

If max homa started at -10,could he beat scottie scheffler. Doubtful

[@svk_5104]

@@edj9961 he said Homa is “his” goat, not “the” goat. Big difference there. Scheffler isn’t the goat either

[@edj9961]

@@svk_5104 well his goat will never win another important tournament as long as big dawg is around.

[@svk_5104]

@@edj9961 okay that’s cool but also has nothing to do with the person considering him his goat.

[@edj9961]

@@svk_5104 the acronym, “GOAT,” implies something different than what this person is saying. A better phrase would be, “my favorite player,” since Max it’s not anywhere near the greatest even of this generation

[@richyclubsport5155]

Simple, effective repeatable swing, try the shoulder drill everyone it's not easy i do both yoga and pilates daily, and struggled with it

[@tylerevans369]

He will win a major within two years. Guaranteed

[@scottharmon5583]

Idk, man. Seems to me like he just had a swing fault and they fixed it. The while ‘limited lat mobility’ thing I’m not buying. “Max has trouble raising his arms..” For heaven’s sake, he can lift them to shoulder high, which is all you need in a golf swing.

[@Real_Cetti]

The music please needs to be toned down

[@Woventhunder]

lol wtf are you taking about

[@majrminer]

Why does everything in golf have to be a “secret”? These dudes practice and play a lot. That’s not a secret. There’s is no secret in golf.

[@lawbinson]

It may not be a secret. But, there are tons of people who practice a lot and can never have a swing like this.

[@majrminer]

@@lawbinsonthat’s still not a secret.

[@mikerogers1949]

Also rhythm is 85% of good swing… you can’t teach it. Louis makes game so easy and Max had incredible rhythm

[@majrminer]

@@mikerogers1949still not a secret

[@thecount1001]

it's no secret that 'the one key move' and 'the secret' and 'that noone is talking about' are the biggest three BS phrases in all of golf. you heard it here first.

[@brendanfay2017]

Looks super mechanical honestly. Good move though

[@leospaceman2976]

His walk looks super mechanical 😂

[@saufai74]

@@leospaceman2976right!! His gait is so awkward.

[@naterichardson8169]

The whole video is stupid. One swing is a wedge and the other one is a 6 or lower. Of course it'll be steeper. What are we doing ?

[@biggerminds523]

Secret? Do you think people are stupid. No secret, many years of practice since young

To bad he never wins

[@tomkennish3630]

He’s won like 6 times on pga tour and he’s top ten ranked player in the world…
