He ABSOLUTELY has the best looking swing to ever hit a golf ball! Technically it's far from perfect... but his tempo makes it look silky smooth! To watch him live is an experience that if you've never had... you need to! It is a thing of beauty!!! Luckily I've seen him a few times at The Honda Classic
While it is indeed lovely to watch, Karl, the athleticism required to successfully and repeatedly execute his motion borders on the realm of superhuman! Despite all those variables Fred has to coordinate, the fact that he ultimately manages to get himself into that optimal position in the downswing is a testament to his tremendous talent, and it offers further proof that this "tucked" trail arm condition is an absolute must for consistently great ball striking. However, aside from his beautiful tempo, Fred's swing falls into the "don't try this at home" category. Beyond the precise timing needed to make it work consistently, his chronic lower back issues should tell us all we need to know.
So, enjoy his silky smooth motion as a spectator, but leave it at that. My suggestion, anyway....
Tom
@@vanbalzup6481 I will watch every single last swing he takes! In my mind it is POETRY! I don’t know how else to explain it!
I went for a lesson and the guy had me bending my back at 42 degrees so I could “create more power and have a more stable foundation”.
I’m a 32 year old plumber who has been doing hard jobs for 14 years. I was more sore leaving that lesson than I ever have been leaving a job.
Ignoring the fact he tried to get me in at 400/mo on top of it.
You seem like a significantly better instructor.
I appreciate that, though I'm sorry to learn of your painful experience. I don't understand all these body contortions that they're trying to teach these days. The average golfer does not have the flexibility of a Romanian gymnast! In fact, neither do most of the top players in the world as exemplified by Will Zalatoris undergoing back surgery at age 25! Thankfully he is back and playing well, and if you cue up the recent Golf Channel interview with Will you'll learn about how he has made the switch to a rotational - and far more body-friendly - motion! Here are a couple of videos on this topic:
- ua-cam.com/video/vG0UtsgRvUA/v-deo.html
- ua-cam.com/video/HkemK_uPg7o/v-deo.html
The way I see it, we can either simply put the already existing natural laws to work and thereby build a powerful, body-friendly, repeatable, low-maintenance motion, or we can twist, morph, torque, contrive, and otherwise mess with the principles of physics and geometry in an effort to better suit some ill-conceived whims, all the while recognizing that at the point of impact those pre-existing laws are going to be the only things that matter to the ball! In other words, one can strike the ball just as well and hit it just as far while remaining in the comfort zone of our God-given human physiology, and as such they can play great golf for a lifetime without fear of the surgeon's scalpel.

Thanks again for your message. Keep it painless and fun out there!!
Tom
Fred also has a very strong grip to counter such an upright swing plane and a slightly cupped wrist at the top.
Yes. Fred's motion is certainly a rhythmic yet intriguing blend of compensations that he figured out how to make work!
What an amazing short!
Thanks - I appreciate that!!
Tom
Freddie’s take away being so vertical takes a lot of pressure off his lower back. He’s able to reroute the swing path inside and simply moves his body thru the impact position. He gets that easy smooth inside out draw he is so famous for.
It took pressure off his back? Hmm....
Aside from his beautiful tempo and that critical tucked elbow in the downswing, Fred's swing falls into the "don't try this at home" category. Beyond the tremendous athleticism and timing needed to make it work consistently, the chronic lower back issues that plagued the majority of his professional playing career should tell us all we need to know. So yes - a thing of beauty to marvel at, but let’s draw the line there! 😎
In 50 Years of playing golf, Fred Couples has never missed The Sweet Spot of his golf clubs. One of the best Ball Strikers ever, close to the consistency of Bobby Jones and Sam Snead.
Fred sure did figure out how to make it work best for him, George - and I am certainly a fan of his - but that doesn't mean we should endeavor to copycat the entirety of his motion. As mentioned, perhaps in addition to his beautiful tempo we would do well to emulate the one key element of his downswing that is shared by every great ball striker; there just happens to be a far simpler way of getting there. Beyond the tremendous athleticism and timing required to achieve such consistency with that motion, Fred's chronic lower back issues should tell us all we need to know.

@@SagutoGolf 🙂🙂👍👍
@@SagutoGolfi got to where I could mimic couples swing pattern when I practiced but I stopped doing it because it just kills your back.
Yes he has. The fat shot on #12 at the Masters that barely stayed out of the water
@@billgolfer2682 My bad. Well out of a million lifetime shots, that ain't too bad of a stat.
I just love that swing, the power he generates, I also think so many of the greatest golfers started with a club in their hand from age 4.
I'm not sure at what age he started, but Fred sure did figure out how to make it work best for him, and it is certainly beautiful to watch. Aside from his beautiful tempo, however, in my opinion his swing falls into the "don't try this at home" category. Beyond the tremendous athleticism and timing needed to make it work consistently, his chronic lower back issues should tell us all we need to know.
TS
Elbow is crazy. Idk how he does it
Repetition repetition repetition....followed by more repetition....and mixed with insane athleticism.
There are far simpler ways to achieve consistent ball striking bliss.....and maintain a healthy lower back at the same time..... 😎
I used to run round after this guy at The British Open. What a swing & a legend
Fred's swing is indeed wonderful to watch, but that's where I draw the line LOL! Aside from his beautiful tempo, Fred's swing falls into the "don't try this at home" category. Beyond the tremendous athleticism and timing needed to make it work consistently, his chronic lower back issues should tell us all we need to know.
Tom
Joe Cool!
Same for those that tried to get all muscular and over swing, backs are toast, Fred, Tig, Rory, etc, etc,. Even Bryson has backed off on the overly muscular idea.
Great video! What song is that if you don’t mind
Thanks, Brodie - I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The music is just a royalty-free selection made available by the video platform.
Tom
I firmly believe that every swing is different. You could throw the club in the air and catch it and then hit it as long as you hit the ball square. Best game out there and anyone can do it with practice.
Sure, Gregory. With regard to Tour players it took them years and years to hone their craft and get their respective idiosyncratic swings dialed in to the extent that they have. We absolutely need to build our own unique swing - preferably within the parameters of a proven, reliable system, body-friendly system rooted in physics and geometry - but that doesn't mean we can't take useful swing keys from the motions of the game's best to aid us in the process!
Tom
Bryson taught himself. Hows that for ya.
Saguto the golf cop....Step out of the cart, please...😂
Why is it that I'm reading all your comments in "Sutherland voice"?... 🙄🤔 (And they are playing quite nicely as such.....😆)
Best swing 2 copy for any golfer . . . Watch out 4 the old man @ the masters this year.
I love watching Fred, and it's always great to see him on the leaderboard at Augusta. However, aside from his beautiful tempo his is absolutely not a move to be replicated, and given the chronic back issues that have plagued him for decades I'm rather sure that he would say the same.
I'm in my 40s and have had back problems as well. If Freddie can golf at the level he does even with his back issues, this could be the swing for newer golfers who struggle with back problems. I'm still learning and like to explore new ideas. Ben Hogan videos are great BTW!
It looks like his swing flattens out perfectly when he starts to get his hips out of the way.
Consider that this move has basically destroyed Fred's back. Wonderful to watch because of his beautiful tempo, but I definitely put this into the "don't try this at home" category.
A swing is a swing.
Do you still use jumbomax grips?
I was using JumboMax Ultralite grips in extra-large for much of 2022 and the first part of 2023. I had wanted to give them a try for a few reasons, including the fact that DeChambeau uses them and we share similar swing philosophies. I personally love the feel as well as how they help to keep my hands quiet through the zone.
Now, having said that, I purchased a new set of PXG's in the spring of 2023, and since they don't carry the Jumbo's in-house I went with their largest available grip, which is a midsize. I absolutely love the clubs, and I'm putting the factory grips through the playing test before deciding whether or not to have them regripped. There are no issues with the Jumbos and I still really like the way they feel; that's just where I'm at presently.
The Jumbos are not necessarily for everyone - and my fingers are a bit longer than average - so I routinely tell folks to "try before you buy." However, having a properly sized grip that feels both comfortable and secure is critically important as it is our only connection to the object that is going to deliver us blissful joy or deep anguish, yet it is perhaps also the most overlooked equipment fitting component in golf.
TS
It's like he just let's the club drop and do the work.
Well, Keith, he's got to do something to get into the ideal attack position given where he is at the top. There's some crazy athleticism going on there!
I call it the "thumbs down" move 😂
imagine a Bad movie and give it a thumbs down!
think about that picture at the top of your swing! Its a hammer!!
Yes - I do like the hammer reference and use it often, Kevin.
And thanks for sharing your "movie critic" feel! 😆
Tom
So steep, you would think he would have to compensate with early extension but his front hip moves back, and he tucks his back elbow in and like mentioned he gets late shallowing of the club.
Yes. Aside from his beautiful tempo, Fred's swing falls into the "don't try this at home" category. Beyond the tremendous athleticism and timing needed to make it work consistently, his chronic lower back issues should tell us all we need to know.
He takes it back nearly vertical. I was taught to around bod not above.
Yes - and I teach an inward/rotational path as well. The point of this short video was Fred's key downswing move of tucking his trail elbow. Here is the full episode that this clip was extracted from if you would like more detail and context: ua-cam.com/video/Odq006wMHn4/v-deo.html

There are some "great" swings that were not meant to be copied by the average golfer🏌🏽♂️...
This is one of them😉
Cheers🍻
RP
Indeed. Some were just meant to be enjoyed as a spectator while falling into the "do not try this at home" category. Fred's is one of those... 😎
He is a piece of spaghetti and when that noodle goes into that reverse 'c' in the follow through his spinal chord gets overcooked and traction follows then, bedridden and a bowl of spaghetti ohhhh's....which is nice..!!
As for you and me, Teddy, we'll just keep it _al dente_ with _aglio e olio_ ...... 😎
Isn’t this what Daly does ?
Hi Ezio,
Invariably, every great ball striker manages to find that "money" position in the downswing no matter what their backswing looks like. Of course, this includes John Daly!
Tom

Classic Two Plane swing.
In Fred's case, Jay, I'd call it a classically unique two-plane swing.....😎
@SagutoGolf Peter Jacobson had a very upright two plane swing and so did Nicklaus
so smooth is disgusting
It sure looks like poetry in motion until you really dig into it! Aside from his beautiful tempo, Fred's swing falls into the "don't try this at home" category. Beyond the tremendous athleticism and timing needed to make it work consistently, his chronic lower back issues should tell us all we need to know.
If I stood that close to the ball I’d miss the ball
…. Golfs most beloved swing ? No , it’s smooth and effortless but tigers 2000 swing or Adam Scott’s are known at the top

Every pro golfer swings differently there’s no one swing. They just swing how there body lets them . And are very good at it. 🤷♂️
They sure are very good at it, Dominic!
With regard to those Tour players of today and yesteryear, we must remember that it took them years and countless swings day in and day out to hone their craft and get their respective idiosyncratic swings dialed in to the extent that they have. That's a testimony to their hard work, determination, and perseverance. I do occasionally share some elements of various top players' swings that we would do well to emulate or avoid. However, just like them each of us is unique physiologically and psychologically, and we should thus endeavor to build our unique-to-us swing recognizing that fact while also preferably residing within the parameters of a proven, reliable, consistent, powerful, body-friendly _SYSTEM_ .

Still waiting for one key move
If you didn't get it from this short, then I'm pretty sure you'll find it in the full episode: ua-cam.com/video/Odq006wMHn4/v-deo.html
But doesnt he have ongoing back problems?
Yes, Steve. Aside from his beautiful tempo, Fred's swing falls into the "don't try this at home" category. Beyond the tremendous athleticism and timing needed to make it work consistently, his chronic lower back issues should tell us all we need to know.

Freddie blew out his back and his caddie tees his balls up on the driving range. Fred’s reverse C wore out two disks and a hip. Careful what you wish for.
I don't wish for it at all, Steve! As I've been telling folks, aside from his beautiful tempo, Fred's swing falls into the "don't try this at home" category. Beyond the tremendous athleticism and timing needed to make it work consistently, his decades of chronic lower back issues do indeed tell us all we need to know.
The move that didn’t save his back

Why copy a swing that destroys your back? Have you told your students that? Faldo's swing is better for longevity.
Hi Tony,
Based on your comment you are definitely not understanding the message being conveyed here. For more context here is the full episode that this short was extracted from: ua-cam.com/video/Odq006wMHn4/v-deo.html
Aside from his beautiful tempo, Fred's swing falls into the "don't try this at home" category. Beyond the tremendous athleticism and timing needed to make it work consistently, his chronic lower back issues should tell us all we need to know. As for what I teach, the proven body-friendliness of the swing is further validated by the fact that a significant percentage of my online school members are in their 60's, 70's, and 80's - i.e.: a smorgasbord of chronic ailments, physical limitations, back/shoulder/knee/hip pain, arthritis, and joint replacements - and they are overwhelmingly elated to experience the dramatic pain-free game improvement, seemingly effortless power, and resulting enjoyment that this swing affords them. In fact, thousands of men and women from across the globe - including many accomplished, low-handicap, competitive players and spanning all age ranges from junior to super-senior - are now enjoying the best golf of their lives as a result of the online school, and their unsolicited testimonials tell the story quite well: saguto.golf/p/sagutogolfreviews.

You look like DJ's boyfriend from Full House
Who knew Steve had such skills?...... 😎
@@SagutoGolf 🤣
It looks like a flying elbow hot mess...nobody wants that swing.
LOL! Yes - please don't try to make sense of Fred's motion or try to incorporate it into your swing. Just enjoy watching him somehow make it work and leave it at that.... 😎
Nicklaus had the same move with his elbow. From a 2d approach, it looks flying, but it's really just behind him
This guy is a karen a washed up karen ahhaha
Dude you weren’t even born when Fred played. Quit trying to make your name off his swing. Come up with something original
Umm, yeah Bill - I was. And he's still playing....
We absolutely need to build our own unique swing - preferably within the parameters of a proven, reliable system - but that doesn't mean we can't take useful swing keys from the motions of the game's best to aid us in the process.
