The thing Tommy Fleetwood and a lot of great tour players do so well happens at the moment of impact. The shoulders are closed - almost square and the hips are open approximately 30 degrees. This tremendous amount of torque happens because most tour players are left side dominant instead of right side dominant. Most amateurs and high handicap players think you have to push from your right side instead of pulling from your left.
Hi Tyler, excellent video on Tommy and a good use of my videos! A really nice mix of your instruction plus some excellent visuals. Your 'Stock Tour Swing' is an excellent instruction book. Best wishes Michael
The extension of his left leg at impact allows the left shoulder to go up as the right shoulder is coming down with a club at the end. Big time club speed.
He’s not delaying impact. It’s a byproduct of keeping his head behind the ball through the entire downswing. He’s not even swinging his arms, he dropping them. They’re almost completely limp except for the energy it would take to steer the club.
You're wrong about lag. Lag is not INTENTIONAL. It is the CONSEQUENCE of transitioning between the back swing to the forward swing. The faster your swing speed the more exaggerated the lag. People with slower swings speeds end up, a lot of the time, forcing their hands to remain in the lag positions and the end result is a horrendous slice.
Once he adds a bit more consistency in his game he will be a a top 3-5 player in the world! Never count him out, any given day he is able to shoot in the low 60’s!
Curious. The bend he has in his back once his shaft is parallel seems to be a bit much. Might this lead to back problems down the line? Baseball players who have this reverse C shape tend to develop back issues. I play golf but not near enough to know anything about the technique. However, I am quite familiar with how the spinal engine should rotate. What do you think?
IMO his swing is the closest to Moe Norman's, his finish is more at the target, something Moe advocated. He has many wins ahead of him. He is also an excellent putter!
im going to try to be nice but how does this have 1.2m views. im not going to do the research but i bet he took 2 less club lengths on this hole cause its teed up and try to flight it with minimal roll with his iron. thats why hes back on his iron swing. please take a fairway iron if youre going to do analysis
I agree. I've tried to do this and started instantly having back spasms on the course. I have to release my upper body and start coming out of my spine angle much earlier than the pros do or I'd be a mess. The pros want to keep their heads back to launch it high but what your essentially doing is torquing the hell out of your spine.
If you play sport you will get injured sooner or later. I don’t know anyone who plays golf who hasn’t injured themselves. Golf promotes a lot of unnatural movements.

i am a leftie right handed player. haha
As a novice this made great sense, and I will definitely be trying these 2/3 type shots at the range to help improve strike and consistency. Thanks.
The difference between the position of his head at address and impact is massive. Shows the secondary tilt, keeping his head behind the ball
one of the best swings on tour, very consistent player going for number 1, lancashire lad tommy F :)
Yep Stu, it`s about time a Lancashire Lad held the Claret Jug aloft. "Come on Tommy"!!!!
+stu crompton Ah, the land of 4000 holes
Major championship winner. Right around the corner.tommy fleetwood.what a swing!!
If Tommy does not win the Open put a lock on the top 5......I can't believe he was going to quit the game......so glad he found his swing.

Excellent analysis.
One of the best movement of hips, perfect timing.
I play a 3/4 punch shot type style for pretty much every stroke using 7-PW.
Scores have gone way down!

Great analysis, well explained✌️
Great Analysis
Thank you very much!

Great instructions in term of release point difference between iron and driver.

my fav swing on tour
Where have the gone in the view?

... the ball is placed back further in the stance for the iron shot too...

He looked better towards the end with the blue shirt. Still some bend. But like I said just something I noticed.
Excellent breakdown of his swing
Drop head so much crazy! Great sving otervise

Nothing like Moe Normans swing. In addition, ball and or swing physics could care less what happens after impact.
Moe Norman? What the hell are you talking about. It is not even close!
Tommy 💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊
Disclaimer ; not expert analysis
Great ballstriker but he is going to have major back problems early on in his career. That just looks painful.
I thought the very same.
just holding that position hurts
Um wieviel um den um über⬆
So much shoulder tilt at impact
Pure drivel
yo hes taking the iron off of a tee. can we get a fairway iron shot. way difff
hes so far back on his iron shot this is whack. you need to compare an iron off the fair way. this is basically driver vs mild driver swing analysis

"omg its so different just look at it" its a smaller club. swing a dildo. then swing your moms. your moms is going to take way longer casue its black.
this is all good, but don't expect to golf like this when you're 50. You'll most likely have really messed up your back by then.
I feel like amateurs should NOT copy this move at all, this will ruin all ur golf understanding....
Weird movements for golf swing..
.
That right arm isn’t “extending.” You’re smoking putt-putt grass.
This is gibberish, stay away.
Ddd
How to ruin and damage your back !!
I think sitting and watching UA-cam is worse for your back than this
I doubt it very much

Are you a doctor?
