BEST VIDEO AWARDS

AWARD: For the most outstanding forward shaft lean.  And the award goes to...

The Tiger Stinger at the 2010 US Open.  What a great swing!  Notice the forward shaft lean even with as little loft as a 2 iron!




AWARD: For the swing no one would want but all he does is cash checks!  And the award goes to...

Bruce Lietzke and his effective repeatable scoring swing.  You may never see someone aim 25 degrees left and hit it on the right center of the fairway again...  I love the -28 on the upper right corner and comment of "sounds like a recording..."  I wonder if an amateur today would be happy with this ball flight...?




AWARD: For the best swing that should make more $$ on tour.  And the award goes to...

Hunter Mehan with a simple modern golf swing with mostly body rotation and a square club face to the path.  They could not swing in such a fashion in the old days!!




AWARD: Greatest hip rotation.  And the award goes to....

Rory McIlroy and his tremendous rotational power.  Notice the lower body beginning the down swing. This is a tremendous example of how to use downward ground force pressure.  Notice at the 11 second mark how his hips actually counter rotate.  Do not try this at home!



AWARD: Trust your golf swing and then RIP IT.  And the award goes to..

Dustin Johnson and the fastest hands you can imagine.  I am convinced this guy could pound a baseball or a hockey puck!  With the position at the top, lateral drop Dustin relies on a couple of issues.  First, he must be left and, second, he must rotate into his left side.  The result is some of the fastest hands on the PGA Tour.



AWARD: Best ball striking demonstration (I've seen).  And the award goes to....

Mike Bennett at the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort range (but not in this video).  Mike hit every shot on a string with a heavy left to right and hurting wind!  It was the greatest ball striking I have seen (including Tiger on the Spylass Hill Range in June of 2000)!
