Brian Harman Swing Analysis By Steve Elkington

We'll see here that Brian Harman, who is not a big man the same size as Ben Hogan, has a couple of things he

swing

s that look a lot like Hogan, one of them hasn't been addressed, although in the direction you see him putting his hands right in front of the club, head right on the ball, which I like, it's almost an impact position so players can learn to prepare with their hands slightly towards the direction, so they'll have to be very close to that and impact , that's what I like? Tiger Woods John Daly Freddie couples had theirs behind the ball gown, but that's okay too.

You'll see that he has a wider stance than his shoulders, but you'll notice here that his head is well behind his shoulders. ball but it's balanced, it's got a nice 10 degree lateral tilt to the left, he said a lot of players say, well I can't get behind the ball, well, Brian Harman is always behind the ball in this position here because he's so far behind the ball. ball, he doesn't have to make a big

swing

back, as you see, his arms are quite soft, he's already behind the ball, so he doesn't need to go back much further.

I would say this is just a smooth movement and he is spinning. your head a little bit to the left to go with it, which is kind of a loading mechanism that starts to turn your shoulders and hips, your hips are probably at 20 degrees, turn your shoulders about 70, you like to wind it up and you can see here at the top of his backswing and in all its glory his hips about 45 degrees his shoulders are probably at a hundred his head has turned with the club head he has rotated his eyes a little to the left so that his eyes are on the inside of the ball, which is very beneficial, but here comes the magic of Brian Harman's swing, Nick's image and there it is, look at the position of the lower body, he has maintained the same inclination of his spine, but look at the angle you've created here.

His left arm is way below his right arm, but look at that angle, maybe 25 degrees, a tremendous amount of lag. That's where all the magic happens for Brian Harman. His right leg is still bent as he lowers himself down. He still maintained that inclination with the angle of his spine. There you have it, right there, the angle created with your right arm and the axis of the club is still 90 degrees. I mean a huge amount of lag and you start to see his left legs now start to kick and there's impact, his hands are just in front of the clubhead and he's pretty much back to the same spot, some people say what you need to do. do is I like that's what I do with Jack Nicklaus in his hands just in front of the ball of the dress and you can see here this action is here Coming from that very tight angle that he created at the top keeping that angle and now he's throwing it right through there, I mean, his hips are opening and you can see that the shoulders are very vertical and there are both arms for the first time in the movement of both arms are straight for the first and only time in the golf swing that both arms are straight right there he keeps his head down super and that back leg pushes totally and we will see the net result of all that and there He is hanging until the end.

What a great swing.
