Stumbled across this swing on youtube:



At 24 seconds witness some of the best impact alignments on any tour!

48 m/s is 107 mph!! 5 foot 2 inches!!!

Have to admit that I had never heard of her but wiki say:-

"She dominated the U.S. LPGA Q-School and secured her tour card, enabling her to compete in the 2006 season. She finished under par for five of the six qualifying rounds, and finished 12 strokes ahead of the closest competitor, setting a record for the largest margin of victory on December 4, 2005"

OK...so I went heavy on the marketing...but then you got to compete in this forum for attention!

Not as far apart as you are making it though ...

I have got no skills or software to get the still from that youtube to compare with this:-



What I am seeing Bucket is the right forearm being moved into impact ...1-F..."the left arm is ALWAYS SWINGING and the right forearm is ALWAYS DRIVING"...

Not many other players get the right arm that bent at impact...especially on the LPGA tour...not many "swingvision" on the LPGA... Creamer does...but with a massive dip...right forearm more funky on Gulbis:-



Miyazato does a great job - not perfect - but she has pretty goood right forearm motion IMO!

OK . . . . but let me ask you . . . . the right forearm on plane with the shaft I get . . . but is having the right arm way bent always a good thing?

I guess that depends on the position of the right shoulder, axis tilt, delivery path and probably... ball position ...I think...use impact fix to determine the appropriate amount of right elbow bend...

But...I suspect that if you can keep any degree of bend in it I think that the player has a greater sense of right forearm which would facilitate the onplane right forearm...i think...

You think it would be easier to create more geometric perfection with Ai's swing or Nat's or Morgan's or Julietta's (see below)?



Can't imagine why we don't discuss more women's golf on this site...youtube does not have alot of good slo-mo stuff.

Hogan, in the Pic above looks like he released a little earlier than he likes. Every stroke ins't perfect.

The Girl is almost perfect. Hands, Head and Hips should be 3" farther ahead. That would also give a little shaft lean. At the Top she gets a little behind, just a little lateral slide off the ball, but in her downstroke her head drops back a little more. She probably just couldn't get back to center this time.

The Frames are missing, but I bet her Start-down procedure includes moving her Right Knee inward rather than or including a lateral slide. That would explain a lot.


5'-2" Chick; Awesome.
Elbow Plane
Shoulder Turn Take-away
Pivot Contolled Hands
Typical Pro
